Biography[]
Bobby Stark was an affable blonde-haired young man born sometime around 1974. Hew grew up in Western Springs, Illinois. In July of 1989, he enrolled at Camp New Horizons. With a big smile and a big heart, he tried to ingratiate himself with the other youths enrolled at the camp, though some of the involuntary campers rebuked him with a harsh attitude.
The only camper at Camp New Horizons who showed Bobby any kindness was Maria DiCastro. Bobby had no idea at the time, that Maria was actually the psychotic serial killer Angela Baker.
At some point, Bobby got to spend some time alone with Angela. He mistook Angela's friendliness for amorousness and tried to force himself upon her, revealing that there was a darker side to Bobby beneath his amicable veneer.
With this act, Angela decided that Bobby needed to go. She captured him and bound his arms behind a tree with a length of chain. She then ran the chain through a winch attached to a jeep owned by the campground's late co-owner Lilly Miranda. Angela drove the jeep away, ripping Bobby's arms off. He later died of blood loss. [2]
