Jennifer was supposed to be babysitting her siblings in their Brockton, Massachusetts home on November 14, 1989, but decided to go out with friends. Between 9:30 and 9:45 p.m., she returned to her home to get a sweater and asked her cousin to watch the children while she went to a party on Emerson Avenue. She was in good spirits at the time. She never returned. She left the residence accompanied by a 22-year-old man, Mark Wombolt. They went to a local convenience store at the end of Jennifer's street, less than a minute's walk from her house. Wombolt said Jennifer went inside the store, but he didn't feel well and went home while she was inside. He also said he'd seen her talking to two men in a truck. That was the last time anyone ever saw or heard from her.
