Roy Laferty is connected to Willard Russell by circumstance. He speaks at church the day Willard's mother introduces him to Helen Hatton. Absolutely taken with Roy, Helen stays behind to be blessed by him. Since Willard didn't pay her much attention, Helen and Roy eventually marry. They have a daughter and name her Lenora, the same Lenora that is raised as Arvin's step-sister.
Roy gets bit by one of the spiders he uses in his sermons and spends two weeks in a dark closet because he feels God is testing him. At the end of the two weeks, he believes God has spoken to him and leads Helen to believe they're going on a drive. The pair leave their daughter Lenora with Willard's mother and Helen never sees her daughter again. Roy kills Helen because he believes God has given him the power to resurrect the dead.
Roy unfortunately comes into contact with Sandy and Carl Henderson when they pick him up as he's on the run for killing his wife. When the group stops, Carl demands Roy have sex with his wife while he takes pictures. Roy refuses and Carl shoots him in the head, making him one of Carl and Sandy Henderson's first few victims.
