Shotgun Jane Doe: A Robbery Gone Wrong

FROM THE VAULT: A True Crime Podcast

On June 1st, 1987, Jennifer Northern and her friend that was staying with her was awoken to the sounds of a scuffle. The scuffle was happening on Jennifer's front porch. A man and a woman were fighting, which prompted Jennifer to tell her friend to call 911. While attempting to get the authorities dispatched, the woman yelled "HE'S GOT A KNIFE!" While she was attempting to gain entrance into the house by pulling the storm door, Jennifer, triggered by a past event that involved a robbery at her home, got her shotgun and shot through the window of the door. The bullet struck the woman in the right side of the head and killed her instantly. The events that transpired before and after the robbery is one that has been told by many online, but largely unheard of by the average person. Who was the woman who attempted to gain entry into the Northern home? What was she doing in the company of two men that had records? And what happened to Jennifer after the events?
