Rikard Rogganoid (9 October 1976 – presumed 9 June 2014) was a Romanian marketing manager who worked on the promotion of Hotel Rogganoid from the resort's opening in 1998. He was the youngest son of Rainer Rogganoid and Viorica Rogganoid. At the hotel, Rogganoid worked on its public image and later helped advertise the R-Series clones as an attraction for visitors. The publicity formed part of the breach of the agreement between the hotel's owner, Rasmus Rogganoid, and Snubable Enterprise.

Rogganoid was reported to have been shot by Jibbut Snagov in Bucharest on 9 June 2014, the same day that Hotel Rogganoid was destroyed. His body was never recovered. The Rogganoid family records him as having died that day, although documents later recovered from an underground Snubable facility led to a theory that he survived the attack.

Early life

Rikard Rogganoid was born in Băneasa, Bucharest, on 9 October 1976 and grew up with three older brothers. The family already owned land and buildings in Băneasa before Hotel Rogganoid opened.

The brothers later worked in different parts of the family's property and hotel business. Rasmus became the owner of Hotel Rogganoid, where Rikard eventually handled promotion. Rolf Rogganoid remained involved with the family's land and buildings, while Renat Rogganoid worked in hotel administration.

Criminal incidents

On 22 August 1995, Rogganoid took a car and drove it through northern Bucharest before damaging it. Police arrested him after the incident. He was charged with carjacking and joyriding. The damage to the vehicle also resulted in a vandalism charge. His family intervened following the arrest, and Rogganoid received a suspended sentence with a compensation order.

During a vacation in Denmark on 16 July 2007, Rogganoid became involved in a public disturbance and shouted support for concentration camps. Danish police removed him from the site and questioned him before releasing him. After he returned to Romania, police searched his house and found firearms together with symbols associated with the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen.

Career

Rogganoid began working at Hotel Rogganoid in 1998, the same year the resort opened in Băneasa. Rasmus retained ownership of the hotel, while Rikard concentrated on how it was presented to the public. He dealt directly with guests and helped develop advertising that presented the resort as a luxury property.

The R-Series clones were placed at Hotel Rogganoid on 12 January 2013 and worked as resort staff. During 2014, Rikard helped advertise the clones as another reason for visitors to come to the hotel. Snubable Enterprise had imposed restrictions on publicity involving the series and did not want the clones drawing public attention.

Rasmus formally broke those conditions on 4 March 2014 by advertising the R-Series as part of the resort. Rikard continued to be involved in the hotel's promotion as the clones became increasingly visible to visitors.

Personal life

Rogganoid had a girlfriend during the later years of his life. She suffered a miscarriage before the attacks against the Rogganoid family in June 2014.

Disappearance and presumed death

On 9 June 2014, Rogganoid was reported to have been shot by Jibbut Snagov in Bucharest. Snagov killed Rikard's mother, Viorica, after the bombing of Hotel Rogganoid. Rolf and Renat were also shot that day.

Rasmus was killed separately in the Hotel Rogganoid bombing. The attack destroyed the resort and killed 47 people in total, including Rasmus and 46 others.

Rikard's body was not recovered. Snagov was believed to have burned the body after the shooting, although this was never established. The Rogganoid family record nevertheless lists Rikard as having died on 9 June 2014.

Documents recovered from an underground Snubable Enterprise facility later listed a catering worker under the name Rikard R.. The record led to a theory that Richard Rambam had taken Rogganoid into the facility and recorded him under the surname Rambam. No evidence definitively identified the catering worker as Rikard Rogganoid. Because no body was recovered, his final fate remained disputed despite the family continuing to record him as dead.
