Bobby Briggs

Robert "Bobby" Briggs was a student at the Twin Peaks High School and the boyfriend of Laura Palmer, thus one of the initial suspects in her murder. His father was Major Garland Briggs, a member of the United States Air Force, with whom he had an uneasy relationship.

Bobby became jealous of James Hurley when he discovered that James was secretly seeing Laura. Laura, on the other hand, did not really love Bobby, and only used him as a source of cocaine. Even before Laura's death, Bobby was seeing Shelly Johnson.
