Born and raised Irish-Catholic in south Boston, she is emotionally scarred by her mother’s murder when she was a child in the 70s. She attended Boston University and Tufts University School of Medicine. With her “bad girl’ persona and passion for solving homicides taking her beyond the call of duty, she eventually lost her job at the Boston medical examiner’s office. She moved to Los Angeles to make a fresh start. But her headstrong ways continued. Years later, an old friend, Dr. Garret Macy, rescued her from a court-ordered anger management course in Los Angeles and gave her a chance to return to her old job in Boston. Earlier in their relationship, Macy had lent support and inspiration for Jordan to turn her life around after a near-fatal drug overdose. Macy often overlooks Jordon’s insubordination because she is so good at her job. Jordon’s issues with trust keeps her relationships are short on commitment. The one exception is Woody Hoyt, a homicide detective, a police detective from Wisconsin, who often works with Jordan on her cases.
