Later Life

In 1991 Hobson moved in with his childhood sweetheart and her two children from another relationship. They married in 1993, after the birth of their daughter. Hobson worked at Drax power station and as a landscape gardener. His wife described him as the "perfect husband." In 1998 Hobson registered as a nightclub doorman and began working at "Kans" nightclub in Market Place, Selby. On New Year's Day 1999 he walked out on his family without giving a reason and began using cannabis and drinking heavily. His wife said: "There was no one else involved, he just didn't want married life any more. It was bizarre. I couldn't believe it. He turned to pot and drinking heavily. He never drank when we were married but now he got out of his face. He became like a zombie... His life just went completely off the rails."
