So, June 26, probably in 1985, is when things took a dark turn at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Five kids went missing, and a day later, a suspect was nailed thanks to security footage showing a man in a yellow rabbit costume. The police think he lured the kids into an off-limits room and killed them, but their bodies were never found. We, the fans, know their bodies are inside the animatronics, haunted by the kids' spirits. And the real culprit? William Afton.

Let's break down the scene: William Afton, maybe around 30 years old, killed these five children and hid their bodies inside the suits of Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, and the decommissioned FredBear (Golden Freddy). But why?

Here’s my theory: After losing his son in 1983 (and probably his daughter Elizabeth too, if Circus Baby’s events happened in the mid-80s), William might have been dealing with intense grief. But, given his traits of antisocial personality disorder ("psychopathy") from the books, he probably couldn’t process these feelings properly. Instead of feeling sadness, he might have felt anger or guilt. This twisted grief could have driven him to his horrific actions. Seeing happy families and children could have enraged him, leading him to seek some twisted form of balance by taking other children away, just as he lost his own.

In "The Twisted Ones," Afton shows signs of a delusional mindset and zoanthropy around Spring Bonnie. The costume wasn’t just a disguise; it was a way for him to become someone else, escaping his flaws and cowardice. When he wore the Spring Bonnie mask, he turned into this ideal, more sinister persona. So, on the day of the Missing Children Incident (MCI), Afton probably had so much pent-up anger and guilt that he used the suit as a release, committing the murders at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. By hiding the bodies in the costumes, he showed his meticulous planning—a trait often seen in people with APS—demonstrating a cold, calculated mental pattern.

Fast forward to 1987, and we have the events of the DCI. Five kids reported dead at the newest Freddy Fazbear’s location, leading to an investigation and the place shutting down after just a week. Unlike MCI, these bodies were found scattered across different rooms, with no evidence they were hidden in the Toy Animatronics. The profile of this event is vastly different.

The MCI seemed planned and cautious, while the DCI was chaotic and disorganized. Psychopaths usually follow patterns, but here, the only similarity is the number of victims and the crime itself. So, why would Afton be so meticulous in MCI and so careless in DCI? This could suggest a shift in behavior, hinting at a different antisocial personality disorder: Sociopathy. Sociopaths are known for their disorganized and impulsive actions, which could explain the change in the murder profile between MCI and DCI.

What am I suggesting? No, I don't think it's two killers (the Pink Guy theory), since there hasn't been any mention of that in the franchise (though, speaking out loud, two killers doesn’t sound that crazy). I feel like, because the Toys have facial recognition and Freddy's location is already haunted, William probably had a lot of trouble dealing with the DCI. The Withereds were likely completely possessed by another killing spree, and the Toys… well, this could have led them to go haywire. Combined with the haunting of Freddy’s and the Puppet’s influence, this might have caused them to attack him. Imagine this: William trying to hide the children's bodies while running away from 11 animatronics. It would be too insane for him to hide the bodies and get out alive, so fleeing was the best choice, even if it meant leaving his crime in plain sight.

But still, if we went back to 2014, we wouldn't be able to say that the idea of two killers was that crazy. What do you all think of this analysis? Could there be two killers? And by the way, comment if you enjoyed my psychological breakdown of William Afton :').
