There are three "versions" of the Mary Mother of Hope Residence in Delaware.

Version I provides support for single homeless women with mental health or substance abuse issues. Versions II and III are described as support for homeless women with children, but another website identifies these two versions specifically as "Domestic Violence Help."

Knowing which version Jennifer was staying at would help narrow down the direction we should be going in.

I think this is about her. Chad Atherton filed a motion for her to give up guardianship of their kids I think (going from OCR only) in 2015, after she went missing, so I guess he filed desertion?
