Jennifer Carter

Jennifer Carter (1995-2012) was the victim in The Grim Butcher (Case #3 of Grimsborough).

Profile
Jennifer, a teenager of 17 years of age, was Vanessa Carter's daughter. She sported sand blond hair extending to her neck, donned a blue jacket and a white shirt, had brown eyes, and wore lipstick. It is known that Jennifer was born on April 12, 1995.

Murder Details
Jennifer was hanged to a butcher's hook and cut open in a gruesome murder. Nathan discovered during the autopsy that she was tortured with cigarettes on her chest, so the killer smoked. She was also hit in her head, causing a concussion. The killer also took her heart out of the body and left some black hairs on her body.

Killer and Motives
The killer was Trish Colletti, who was the daughter of the local butcher named Raoul Colletti.

Trish was guilty of the heinous murder when the killer's attributes incriminated her as Jennifer's killer. Raoul refused to protect Trish as the police had enough evidence to prove Trish's involvement of the murder but as the team arrested Trish, she opened up the reason why Jennifer's death was warranted--Trish found out Jennifer slept with Raphael and couldn't afford Jennifer to get away with it given Raoul's panicking every time Jennifer came to the Colletti Butchery. Trish kidnapped Jennifer, and then discreetly tortured her and butchered her up like a pig while no one was watching.

Due to the heinous nature of the crime and the psychological disorders she demonstrated in the murder, Judge Hall tried Trish as an adult but Trish countered that she did it for love because she knew Raphael was being brainwashed by Jennifer and she knew she had to act, which were grounds for a lifetime jail sentence with psychological monitoring and eligibility for parole in 40 years.
