In New Interview, Survivor Recounts 1995 Houston Attack by On‑Duty Guard

The survivor credits a rare 1995 mobile phone alongside a 911 dispatcher’s guidance for keeping her alive.

Overview

  • Jennifer Morey, then 25, says security guard Bryan Wayne Gibson broke into her Houston apartment, attempted to rape her, and slit her throat after cutting power and the landline.
  • Morey used her mobile phone to call 911, and dispatcher Richard Everett warned her not to open the door when the attacker returned, a step she says saved her life.
  • Police arrested the 26-year-old guard at the complex later that night, and Morey later rebuilt her life and career as a family lawyer in Fort Worth.
  • In 1998, Morey sued Pinkerton Security and received an undisclosed financial award, with coverage noting Gibson had drawn prior complaints and reassignment while employed there.
  • Recent articles cite reports—without detailed sourcing—that many Pinkerton guards were convicted of felonies in Texas in the early 1990s, and note Gibson’s 2015 release and sex‑offender registry listing.
