She would be the one responsible for killing Pamela when she grabbed the machete and decapitated her with it. Enraged by Steve's actions, Pamela murdered him and almost all of his employees, with Alice Hardy surviving. Among those he hired, included Alice Hardy, Jack Burrell, Jack's girlfriend, Marcie Cunningham, Bill, Brenda, Ned Rubenstein, and the camp cook, Annie. In the summer of 1979, Steve Christy, the son of the founders of Camp Crystal Lake, David and Louise Christy, tried to reopen the camp and hiring several teenagers from out of town to work for him as camp counselors. During these years, Pamela never found out where he was nor did he ever see her again until her death. He lived off the land and whatever he could piffer from the camp. Constructing and living in a crude shelter in the forest, seemingly waiting for his mother to find him and managing to have lived in the woods surrounding Camp Crystal Lake for twenty-one long years. Ash, it is said that Pamela had used the Necronomican to resurrect him. Then, Jason somehow returned to life after his death. Because of these sabotages, Camp Crystal Lake earned the nickname of "Camp Blood" by the locals, who believed the area was cursed. Then, Pamela was never blamed for their death, and all subsequent attempts to reopen Camp Crystal Lake has failed, supposedly by sabbotage on Pamela's part, to prevent any kids drowning again in the lake like her son did. Then again, the camp would be closed when Pamela Voorhees, mad with grief, would kill two camp counselors she blamed for his son's death, Barry and Claudette. Though Jason's body has never been found, the camp would close as a result of his drowning, but would reopen the next year.
The counselors were suppose to be watching the children, but they were talking and having sex in the woods. Bullied by the other campers, Jason would fall off the dock to escape his tormentors, where he would drown and never be seen again. In the summer of 1957, Pamela, unable to get a babysitter for Jason, resorted to bringing him to Camp Crystal Lake where she worked as a camp cook. Raising Jason in her own, Pamela kept the boy isolated from the community, not allowing him to attend school and educated him in their home on the outskirts of Camp Crystal Lake.
Jason was afflicted with severe facial deformities, hydrocephalic, large heart, and was mentally disabled.
Jason Voorhees was born in Camp Crystal Lake on Jto Elias and Pamela Voorhees.
