You can also just search Murder With My Husband Patreon. Okay, let's just jump right into this case. Let's do it. Our case sources this week are bizjournals.com, wattpad.com, houstonpress.com, and girlsfightback.com.
Our story begins in April of 1995 in the great city of Houston, Texas, which I've never been to Texas, but honestly, I want to go. Neither of us have. No. Yeah. I think because it just feels like kind of out there from where we currently are. I think it's like a four hour flight from where we are. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know if the like stigma is like this around for everyone, but like Texas has really nice houses for cheap. That's all I know Texas for really. And the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. Okay. I won't forget that. Yeah.
So anyways, we're in Houston, Texas, April, 1995. Okay. Jennifer Mori is apartment hunting. She is to move to Houston soon and is looking for a complex that feels safe and secure, just like anyone else who would be looking that is listening to this podcast.
According to TPK stories with Wattpad.com, Jennifer ends up finding a complex named the Bayou Park Apartments that were close to downtown and had a full perimeter eight foot fence around the whole thing. Whoa. So it's like it's locked in.
Is it normal to have these type of, I guess, safety parameters in Houston? I'm going to say no because they like pointed it out in the story that it had this. But the thing that actually sold this specific apartment complex for Jennifer was the fact that there was 24-hour security guards. Standing guard. That's kind of cool. 24 hours. That's what that means. Jennifer ends up signing a lease with the Bayou Park Apartments and moves into a unit on the second floor.
Jennifer is a young lawyer. Her career is just starting. She's driven, works long hours well into the night. On April 15th, 1995, it was about 10 p.m.,
And one of Jennifer's friends calls her to tell her that she was going to a place called the L house, which is a pub. I looked it up. Okay. Don't worry. I looked it up. Okay. I'm getting better at this. We're not going to make the same mistake we made with Menards. Menards that we can't seem to hear the end of. Okay. We're so sorry. I didn't know. It's like the, it's like the Bible down there, I guess. Yeah.
So anyways, it's a pub, but it is now closed. So I also looked that up as well. And I included the article in our case sources. But would Jennifer like to tag along with her friend that's going? Jennifer says yes, meets up with her friends and they ride together to the L house. While at the pub, Jennifer runs into a young man who offers to give her ride back to her new apartment.
She agrees and he drops her off around 1 a.m. after a fun night out with friends. Jennifer walks up the flight of stairs to her second floor apartment. She opens her front door, heads inside, closes it, locks the door and puts the deadbolt on. She goes to her bathroom and prepares for bed, washing her face, which we love a nighttime routine. Ask Garrett, I'm religious about my nighttime routine. She brushes her teeth and then goes to bed. It's early.
Like in the morning, not early to go to bed. It's early in the morning. It's in like 1 a.m., 2 a.m. Okay. A few hours later, Jennifer is sound asleep, but she begins to wake up. As she comes to, she feels that something is off, but her thoughts are still cloudy and she is still half asleep. It's kind of like in that in-between stage. Yeah. But she kind of feels like something weird is going on. A brief moment passes when Jennifer realizes she can't really move anymore.
There's like pressure holding her body onto her bed. What? In a stomach dropping moment, Jennifer realizes that someone is not only in her room, but someone is on top of her in her bed. What the heck? Yeah. Someone's body weight is pressing her body down onto her bed. So she had just woken up in the middle of the night and realized. Like groggily, like a little unsure. And it's like, I can't really move. And then realizes why she can't move. Because there's someone on top of her. That's crazy.
As Jennifer is discovering the reality of her situation and confirming that she is in fact awake and not dreaming, the person on top of her begins reaching at her underwear, trying to yank them off. Confused, all Jennifer can think about is the feeling of the man's coarse leg hair against her smooth legs. So she's like still kind of dazed and she can feel him tugging at her underwear, but it still really hasn't completely hit her because she's still waking up and all that can run through her mind is,
His legs are so like hairy on my legs. So she's not drugged or anything, right? No, but she, you have to keep in mind, she was out probably drinking and then she went to bed early and this is only a couple hours later. So, you know, she's, it's kind of just like a, she's way out of it. Jennifer begins to struggle reaching her hands out of her sheets only to discover that she had touched, she had reached her hands up and touched a knife that was being held against her throat.
And it was that moment that completely woke Jennifer out of her sleep. The adrenaline just starts. She was no longer muddled or confused. She acknowledges that she is in fact being attacked and raped right now in her own bed. She begins fighting, fighting her attacker. She's screaming at him to please stop. Don't hurt her. She's pushing and kicking, trying to move the knife away from her neck. Jennifer reaches up and grabs her attacker's hand.
And he immediately responds. And Jennifer fills a blow to her right eye, followed by warm liquid streaming down her face. It takes a moment, but she realizes that he had used the knife and slashed her eye open. Oh, yeah. I thought he just punched her. No, it's the blood coming out of her eye that she can feel.
Jennifer has a moment of clarity with herself. She comes to the conclusion that if she doesn't get this guy off of her, he will kill her. Like he just slashed her eye open. It doesn't matter how bad her eye hurt. She could not die like this in her bed. Jennifer tries to study the man on top of her, but all she can see is the outline of his hair, which seems short and straight.
As she struggles with her intruder, she is screaming as loud as she can. Keep in mind, she's in an apartment building. Someone had to be hearing her. I forgot about that. Like she's screaming. Do you know what floor she was on? Second. And she's like, someone's got to hear. She's thinking as she's screaming, just scream loud enough so someone can hear like I'm in an apartment building.
As she's screaming, the man says, Jennifer, shut the heck up. Well, he doesn't say heck, but for our podcast, shut the heck up. So as you were saying that, I was thinking it's so scary because I feel like whenever you talk about these cases like this, it's always somebody that...
The victim knows. Exactly. Almost always someone that the victim knows. Imagine how chilling that would be to hear someone say your name as they're trying to rape you. That's so scary. When up to this point, she was like trying to study him and was like, I don't know this man. That's so crazy. This guy knew her name. She knew the man that was raping her.
She tries her hardest to recognize his voice, but cannot figure it out as they're struggling. Jennifer keeps screaming and her attacker reaches down and slits her throat open. What? Mm-hmm.
As she realizes what happened, she feels like she's going to die. Now not only is her eye literally slit open, there's blood all over her face. She was screaming so loud that the attacker slit her throat. And now that blood is going everywhere. She would do anything to live right now, but how many more slashes, stab wounds can she take?
The attacker then tells her not to look at him anymore or he would kill her. And although Jennifer wanted to keep fighting, she had been fighting this whole time. She felt that if she just did what this man said, she might get out alive. So she turns her head away, closes her eyes and endures the attack. Completely stops fighting. The man does not succeed at raping her. And I think this means that he couldn't rape her. Okay.
He gets up and according to Wattpad.com, drags Jennifer by her hair across her bedroom and then tells her to get into the bathroom that's in her apartment. When you say get her in the bathroom, do you mean like put her in the tub or the shower? Just get into the bathroom. At this point, Jennifer's attacker heads back into her bedroom to get the knife. He forgot it. And Jennifer realizes this and slams the door to the bathroom.
She slams it shut, but then realizes that there's no lock on this bathroom door. Oh, okay.
So can you imagine how scary it'd be like, oh, I finally got away from him, but crap, there's no lock. So she presses her body against the door, but then realizes it's not going to be enough to hold it. So she sits down with her back against the door and presses her feet with her legs straight into the side of the tub. Oh, got it. So essentially he would have to break her legs to get the door open with her sitting like that, or she would have to bend and then the door would open.
As Jennifer is sitting there, she's being quiet. She can hear the chilling sound of this man who had just attacked her moving around her apartment on the other side of the door.
So she's just sitting there like, is he about to come in here? And all she can hear is him like shuffling. Is she still screaming at this point or is she quiet? She's dead quiet. Okay. Can you just imagine how scary it sounds as if he's moving things, grabbing things and putting them back down. Then she hears the sound of the intruder getting dressed and slowly she hears him zipping up his pants.
Like, can you just imagine that sound in the world? This whole situation is so terrifying, but to make it worse, Jennifer is sitting on the floor of her bathroom now in a pool of her own blood. Cause keep in mind, her throat has been slit. Yeah. So her wounds are bleeding so profusely that there's just blood everywhere. Yeah.
She scooches over to the toilet quickly and grabs the whole roll of toilet paper. Not like, like just grabs the roll and pushes it against her throat because she's like, I, you know, like anyone would think I have to stop this bleeding. She realizes that she doesn't have much longer. She's feeling weaker. She's getting lightheaded. Like she's losing blood. She knows that she can't just sit in this bathroom scared or else she's going to die. Yeah.
So she courageously just says, I'm going to take the risk. I'm going to leave the bathroom. Like I've, I've got to get out of this apartment. Does she still hear him in the, no, it's dead quiet at this point. She struggles as she stands up to open the door. Cause keep in mind, like she's, she has to stand up trying to be quiet, but she realizes that she has so much blood on her hands that she can't get a grip on the handle because it's just covered in blood.
So once she finally does get a hold of the handle, she goes to pull the door open and she has jammed it shut by pushing her back into it so hard. So she can't get the door open because she jammed it so hard with her body. So she almost like, okay, she jammed herself into the bathroom trying to keep him out. So she realizes that she is going to have to loudly yank at this door. Oh,
No. Which she was planning to try to be quiet, to slip out. Uh-huh. But it was either that or bleed to death. That's what she's thinking. So she just begins yanking, like loudly. Jennifer jerks the door open in the middle of the night and slowly crawls out. So she goes back down onto her knees. I'm surprised no one has heard any of this. So she's thinking, like, I was screaming. How is no one over at my apartment yet? I feel like when we lived in that apartment. Yeah. You can hear everything. You can hear everything. Everything.
Every, just, how has nobody come over to see if she's okay? How are the cops not here yet? Someone surely heard her. Someone surely called. Someone cared. Jennifer slowly tries to turn the lights on and none of them are working. So she tries to find her phone and it too is not working. The intruder had cut her power lines, which just,
crazy the heck she stops dead in her tracks at this moment reality setting in that as she was too busy trying to find a way to get out of this she still has no idea whether this guy is in her apartment or not so she's like completely vulnerable it's dark she's bleeding she can barely see is he behind the couch is he in the kitchen like i cannot imagine how scary that would be
Jennifer is like, okay, I got to get my head on straight. She reaches around for her cell phone, finds it eventually and calls 911. I can't find a copy of this call anywhere on Google, but I did hear portions of it on one of the sources I used. So if I can find like a usable copy, we will insert it for you so you can listen to some of the clip. Please help me. I'm going to cut my throat. Ma'am? I'm going to cut everywhere. I'm COVID-19.
Jennifer just sounds in shock on the clip. She can't really comprehend what happened. She calls and she's like, someone broke into my apartment. He cut me. I don't know how this could happen. I don't even know who he is. She's calm. Like she's not yelling, but she's also, I think she's just like in shock about what's happening. Yeah.

She tells dispatch that someone broke in, cut her throat. The dispatcher is super understanding and good with Jennifer. This was an extremely long 911 call. And he calms her down, gives her somebody to trust in and have faith in like a stellar job from this dispatcher. I'm like...
someone needs to come over. She's going to die from losing all that blood. She's getting weaker. Like she's sounding delirious. She's not, if he, like if this guy comes back in, she's not going to be able to fight him off. That's how weak she is.
Around 15 minutes into this 911 call, which that is just such a long call to me. That's a long call. Jennifer hears a pounding on her front door. Jennifer tells the dispatcher, oh, the police are here. They're here. Oh, no. The dispatcher urgently says, no, Jennifer, I have the Houston Fire and Police Department on my screen, and they are not at your apartment yet. Don't answer the door right now. Hello? Security. Security? Security?
And so she walks over the door and she says, hello.
And she tells dispatch that it is her apartment security, the 24 hour security. But she can't see out the people because she doesn't have her contacts in and there's so much blood in her face, which I can relate to that hardcore not being able to see because no contacts. How did she know security? Did they say security? This is security. Like, are you OK? You know, and the security guard tells her to open the door. He can help her like, you know, she was attacked.
And the dispatcher tells Jennifer, you know, if you are not for sure, because you can't see out that people don't open the door. Like it's probably security. It most likely is security, but let's just wait. The police are almost there. Let's just wait. That's smart. And she's like, well, he can help. And he's like, no, let's just wait. Keep the door closed. The security guard will not go away. He keeps pounding on the, on the door telling Jennifer, he will show her his badge. She just needs to open the door for him. She needs to open the door. He can identify himself. Um,
And Jennifer, you know, currently has a slash on her right eye. Her throat is cut and the cut to her throat has actually nicked her jugular vein. Oh no. So it's not, it's not like...
but it's like, it's bleeding. She has a stab wound to her throat as well. So not only did he slash, he stabbed and she has two more stab wounds into her arm. How is she even moving at this point? No idea. She's delirious. Time is moving slow. Like she's like, it's just a complete days for her. And this guy's pounding on her door and dispatches in her ear, like don't open it. And she's like, I just need help. Like it's been 15 minutes. I need help. I want to open the door. And he's like, don't open the door.
The dispatcher eventually tells Jennifer that the police and fire are there. And at about that same time, Jennifer can hear lots of commotion and voices outside. So she opens the door. And as soon as she opens the door, she collapses onto the ground and is like done.
Because she's just been fighting. Yeah. Yeah. She hears throughout the commotion that a security guard has also been injured by the attacker. The one that was out there had been injured by the attacker. That's how he knew the attack. The one that was knocking on the door. Yes. Oh, I thought for a second that maybe he was the one that attacked. Yeah. And, and so she hears them saying like, oh, he was injured. That's how he knows an attacker had come. He had tried to stop the attacker when the attacker had jumped out of Jennifer's apartment window.
but could not stop him after wrestling him to the ground. The attacker ran away. Whoa. Did the security guards have guns or tasers or anything? No idea. Okay. No idea.
When Jennifer was taken to the hospital, police searched her apartment and found a pair of underwear, a hat, a belt, and a glove. The hat they found in Jennifer's apartment left there from her attacker was a security guard hat from the apartment complex. Oh. Police immediately re-interview the so-called injured security guard who had come in contact with the supposed attacker and
and discover that he has blood on his socks, no underwear on, and blood on his stomach. I didn't even put two and two together for a second that he could have been lying and faking it. The on-duty security guard from Jennifer's safe apartment complex had broken into her apartment, raped, and attempted to kill her. Well, attempted to rape her and kill her.
He had then come back moments later to try to finish her off the evidence and kill her. Wow. But Jennifer would not open her front door because the dispatcher told her not to. 20 people in the apartment complex had woke up during Jennifer's attack to her screams and not one of them called police.
That's so surprising. I sometimes think like, it's like the, what would you do with what's his name? I think people are just like, well, maybe they're just fighting or maybe it's okay. Like you don't want to think the worst. You don't want to think, oh, there's a girl in there getting killed. I want to think that I would call the police, but like, that's scary too. I, I really hope if we're ever in that situation that I'm like, I don't care. I'm calling the police. Yeah.
Doctors and police consider Jennifer a miracle. There was blood all over her apartment, on the ceiling, everywhere. She was covered in blood. The apartment was covered in blood. She truly fought for her life. 26-year-old Brian Wayne Gibson was convicted of aggravated burglary with intent to commit sexual assault. So that doesn't say attempted murder. A couple sources said...
that he was convicted of that but then a couple didn't so i'm not sure but i don't think so because he was only sentenced to 20 years in prison it's so strange to me it's like i can stab someone a couple times but it's it's not attempted murder but maybe it is like you said yeah so i i don't know but even then like 20 years if she had died it would have been life in prison yeah because she didn't die because she fought it was 20 years you know what i'm saying yeah
Jennifer and her 911 dispatcher, whose name was Richard Beckett, remained friends to this day. Good job, Richard. He attended Jennifer's wedding, and it is rumored, and by rumored I mean true because I fixed that later, to have been Richard's first shift as a dispatcher. No way. No way.
That is the coolest thing I've ever heard. Go Richard. Go Richard. That's awesome. Yeah. First shift. So according to Steve McVicker with the Houston press, after the attack, Jennifer filed a lawsuit against Pinkerton security, which is the, um, the business that hired the security for this apartment complex while researching this suit, uh,
She and her attorney learned that Brian Gibson was far from the first Pinkerton guard to have situations like this happen. Really? Texas state records show that between 1991 and 1995, approximately 130 Pinkerton guards or people recently employed as Pinkerton guards were convicted of felonies. That's crazy.
that's, that's gotta be, that's a lot. I don't know what to say about that. Yep. Insane. And I went down this rabbit hole where a lot of these people, these guards were convicted of like sexual felonies. Oh, okay. And it's like, but Pinkerton kept hiring them. So she sued Pinkerton. Like you should have done better research. There's no reason this guy should have been a security guard. Totally.
And she wins. And the money that she won isn't disclosed. It's rumored that Brian Wade Gibson is now out of prison and on parole.
So because this was in the 1990s and he was only convicted to 20 years. Okay. I could not find like a professional source for information on that. But I did look him up on the sex offender registry and I did find him. Okay. And his like address. I'm not sure if that means he's out or if that was like a former address or whatever. But I did find him and that he's I think he's released. I guess I.
I'm trying to wrap my mind around it because he almost killed someone. And now he's out. And now he's out of prison. So if you're in Houston, Texas, please be careful because he would have killed her. He came back. To kill her. To kill her. But she didn't open the door. No. Like, I don't even understand. I don't understand. But...
That's the story of Jennifer Mori, freaking bad a woman who fought. There's no reason she should have lived through that attack. So as far as true crime goes, I think I don't know if I want to say like I enjoy the I survived, but I do like the I survived stories a lot more than. Well, they have a better ending. Most of the quote unquote happy ending.
Yeah, I mean, I will say Jennifer did struggle after for years, and it did take her a while, but she has now since come out and said, I've gone on, I'm a lawyer, like I've moved on, but it did take her a while. Just the way she handled everything, she's like...
It's like so well. Also to think that she was a fighter type, right? Like she was a fighter. She was fighting him. She was like, I'm fighting. And the fact that she had to tell herself, stop fighting to survive or else he's literally going to kill you. He's, he's used a weapon on you. He doesn't care. So she had to turn away and just say, okay. I think that shows like,
just as good of strength you know as like someone who's just gonna fight till the death because that was also a way for her to be smart enough to go i this is how i have to get out of this why why did he leave what made him leave no idea i wonder if he like freaked out i don't know i wonder if he was thinking oh someone's good someone heard or she thinks that he or he thinks she was dead because she was being quiet in the bathroom
Yeah, I guess that's true. But I don't know why he wouldn't check. Also, I could not find it. I looked for so long. I do not know how he got in her apartment. Oh, okay. So that's something else I was going to ask. The front door was deadbolted. But I figured he got in through the window. The second story? Yeah.
How did he get up there? I mean, he could have. I mean, so our apartment was on the second story. You could have climbed up. Yeah, that's true. And I think he exited through that. And that's why he said he saw the attacker exit through. So maybe he did have a ladder there or something. I'm not sure. I could not find it anywhere. And I was like, how has someone not told me how he got into a apartment? Because I think it's weird that when he came back, there was 15 minutes where he was banging on her door or whatever. And.
I mean, I don't know if it was that long, but it was quite a long time. Why didn't he just go back up the ladder or why didn't he just go back up the way he got him? Why did he stand at the door? You know what I'm saying? But as a, okay, she's not letting me in. She's not letting me in. Why don't I try a different way? My guess is he was going to go in, kill her, get the evidence, go back out the front door and be like, someone attacked me or something. Like he was trying to plan what's the best way for me to look innocent. Just why leave your underwear in there?
I mean, because I'll tell you why criminals are stupid. That's why. Yeah, true. Very rarely do we find a smart criminal. I'm just glad that she's alive. I am too. I am too. And I, I think that it's good. I mean, she's personally shared her story on I survived and that was one of my sources. That's awesome. But I think it's important to just show that like, you know,
You can fight, you can not fight, you can do whatever, you're still a victim. Like it doesn't matter what happens, you are a victim and everyone respects you and everyone respects your story. And I mean, yeah, that's all we have for this story.
