===Murder 3: The Beginning===
In 1990, Will was the main doctor incharge of delivering Ravélei Halla-Clyde's son. He prepared the room with Savannah Lovell before the birth. Afterwards he went to get cleaned up and prepared to go home for the day, his own wife Evelyn was at home pregnant with their daughter Karla, but he was stopped before leaving by Kalina Burley. She confessed that she was in love with him and although he at first tried to tell her no, he gave in and the pair had sex on his office desk.
In 2007, Will was still a doctor at Eldridge Memorial Hospital and lived with his teenage daughter Karla, she came home from school with her best friend Ada Lovell and he talked with the girls for a bit before they went up to Karla's room.
The day after that, he spent majorly with Kalina, his lover, and left for a little bit only to find Karla and Kalina had been talking. Then the day after Ellis Jones' murder he was informed by Karla that they'd seen Kalina's dead body hanging from the broken down ferris wheel in town and later he was called to the police station because Karla, Ada, and Brad Clyde were called in for questioning and he needed to be there for his daughter. Will, Karla, Ada, Brad, and Savannah were all informed that Brad's father, Arthur, was the prime suspect as the Killer as he'd disappeared and his wife was found dead as was his therapist. Savannah asked Will to take in Ada for the night since she had to work and he agreed, Savannah then left to go get some things for Ada from their home while Will and the kids returned to the Tate's home.
After arriving home, Will talked with Ada and Brad for a bit and attempted to comfort them. He told Ada that her mother would be fine and for her not to worry about her, despite his attempts he was unable to completely convince Brad that he was safe and welcome in his home. Because of this, Will decided to go outside and check some things around the house however once outside, he was met by Arthur and murdered. A picture of his body was later sent to Karla.
