He is 5’9” tall and weighs about 175 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. When he was last seen he was wearing all black – coat, pants and hat.
In 2011, Hopley snatched sleeping three-year-old Kienan Hebert from a second-floor bedroom in Sparwood, B.C. He kept the child for four days before returning him physically unharmed after Hebert’s parents made a public plea.
Hopley, who had previous convictions for abduction of a person under the age of 14, sexual assault, assault and break-and-enters, received a six-year-sentence for the Sparwood abduction.
