## Background Information

Jennifer was born in 1953 to George (1930-1983) and Kathryn (1934-1965) Morrison. She had a younger brother, Keith (1958-1964). George worked as a police officer and ranger, Kathryn was a seamstress and devoted housewife. When Jennifer was 11 years old, her brother Keith died in a drowning accident in Saponac Pond. Not knowing what to do and Burlington being so small and remote, all help came too late for him. A year after, her mother suddenly died of stress cardiomyopathy. An autopsy showed that her mother was actually suffering from HCM / hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This series of events made Jennifer grow close with her father and even though he did everything he could to be a great father, Jennifer didn't have much of a childhood. This series of events was ultimately what made Jennifer go into search and rescue and become a firefighter/paramedic for Penobscot County.

## The Joseph Alexander era

Joseph Alexander was a psychologist with the LSMHC at Pillbox at the time and working closely with Jennifer. They eventually became close friends. Jennifer went on hikes with Joseph where they would talk about everything and nothing. Their shared childhood trauma bonded them even further.

But this is where Jennifer started becoming more and more suspicious of Joseph. As he was telling her more of his life, she noticed strange behavior around him. She really started perking up when he said he was sending his clients/patients out for certain tasks. Over the course of 4 months, she started piecing together that Joseph was part of a cult that believed that the world was coming to an end and people needed to be prepared for it. Their "family" symbol was the cherry blossom tree, which became an obsession for Joseph to find all of the cherry blossoms in Los Santos. His cult obsession became really apparent when he showed her his scars. He had 7 sins carved into his upper body, of which 4 had a strike through. The ones remaining were WRATH, PRIDE and ENVY. Joseph wanted to have Jennifer go through a series of trials in order to become stronger. At first Jennifer did not want to risk that, but then she wanted to make sure he gets put away since he was stating how he was luring more and more people into following his set of trials.

Trials were as follows:

1. experience extreme hunger and thirst, walk to a distant location
2. have your sin carved into your skin ("wearing your sin" as he called it)
3. have your sin washed off of you (almost drown, then strike through of scar or skin removal)
4. find your own cherry blossom tree
5. ? possibly get someone else to go through trials ?

Jennifer let her then fiancé Jacob Styles / sergeant at LSPD in on what was happening. Together they went to the detectives but there was no solid evidence to put Joseph away for good. They also wanted to figure out if Joseph had been coaxing some of his patients into doing crime as part of the trials.

Jennifer then agreed to go on the first trial in order to gather solid evidence. Since she knew what starvation was going to do to her body, she started writing a diary about what was happening. As her day of trial got closer, she started fasting in order to show signs of dehydration so Joseph would not realize what she was really after. She managed to do the trial but was left severely dehydrated and with some kidney damage. Considering the outcome, Jake forbid Jennifer to go on the second trial for more evidence. In the meantime Joseph went back to Canada and came back telling Jennifer that he had to discipline 4 members of his family, 1 of which did not make it out alive. When Joseph asked when Jennifer wanted to do her second trial, she came up with excuses, eventually telling him that Jake told her not to go for health reasons.
Couple of days later, Joseph drugged Jennifer in Pillbox (with scopolamine) and dragged her out of there. He brought her to a place in Grapeseed where he chained her to a train and started torturing her as a way of punishing her for being weak and listening to Jake.

Joseph took pictures of her and moved her to a different location. On the way there, he had her back tattooed as a reminder of her "path" towards being strong(er). Joseph managed to get the pictures to PD, informing them of her previous location.
On the new location, Joseph chained Jennifer to a tree and continued the torture where he ultimately carved PRIDE into her chest with a hunting knife. He continued giving DMT and morphine to Jennifer so she would not pass out too quickly. After he administered the DMT, he usually played a poem by Kipling on repetition on a boombox as well as Amazing Grace whenever he was being nice to her.

His plan was to move her again, but approximately 48 hours after her kidnapping, she was found by passersby and rescued by Reilly Burton and Grant MacMillan.

Time after her rescue was difficult, she realized that Joseph had tried to condition her, condition her especially against Jake. She was hoping that it would be over soon and they had enough evidence to arrest him finally. But a week passed with Joseph still working at Pillbox and Jennifer being put from safehouse to safehouse. With the shortage of FTOs and command she needed to go back to work and face Joseph. He was ever so charming with her. But then Brenda Darling told Jennifer that he accosted Brenda and threatened her. Jennifer had enough and went after Joseph to confront him. After a short but explosive exchange, Joseph chased Jennifer from Parsons back to Pillbox to the location of the cherry trees, where Jennifer drew a knife on him. Brenda had alerted police beforehand. They arrived finding a distraught Jennifer and an aggravated Joseph. Captain Ben Biggs separated the two and ultimately managed to further aggravate Joseph that he drew a knife on Biggs, leading to his arrest. During interrogation he admitted to kidnapping and torturing Jennifer and was ultimately charged with it.

During his time at Bolingbroke he started putting out threats towards Mickey and Lola O'Shea, but luckily nothing ever came of it. He is now being treated in a facility out of state.
