Jessica Lee Moore was the girlfriend of Sam Winchester, though she never got to know about his family secret. Jessica was killed by Brady on Azazel's orders in the pilot episode, partly because she was in the way for Sam to find his skills, partly to give Sam a reason to continue hunting.

Trivia

Actor Trivia 4

  • Jessica seemed to be a student at Stanford like Sam, but it is not known what she was studying.
  • Jessica shares her birthday, January 24, 1984, with Dean. In an interview, Eric Kripke said that January 24 is his wife's birthday, and "It's kinda my Valentine".
  • The studio bosses wanted Kripke to write Jessica as an ongoing character, but Kripke thought it would not work and suggested killing her off, which they liked. The studio then urged Kripke to make Jessica an evil demon character who was planted into Sam's life with purpose, and whose betrayal drives him on the road as he realizes demons are closer to him than he thought. This was used in Season 5 with Brady and Lucifer's revelation of people he knew in his childhood being affiliated with demons.
  • Jessica's gravestone describes her as "Beloved Daughter," indicating that one or both of her parents were alive at the time of her death. Jess was most likely an only child whose closest relationship in her family was to her parents, as the gravestone only references her parents, rather than further describing her as a "Beloved Sister", "Beloved Granddaughter", etc. Furthermore, the memorabilia placed on her grave suggests that she and/or one of her mourners was of the Roman Catholic faith.
