Zoe grew up in a regular family. She had an identical twin sister who she was very close to. When they were teenagers, her sister, Katie, climbed to the top of a cliff and then fell to her death. Zoe blamed herself for her sisters death and became distant from the rest of her family. She eventually ran away from home.

Zoe became involved with a cop named Vince, who treated her badly. When she worked up the courage to leave him he reported that she had robbed him. In November of 1999, Zoe ran into a cafe to try and escape her ex-boyfriend and was greeted by Jarod. Jarod decided that she needed his help and soon discovered that Vince wasn’t the only thing that Zoe was fighting. Jarod discovered that Zoe had been diagnosed with cancer and she wasn’t fighting it because she didn’t feel that she deserved to live because of her sister’s death. Jarod helped her to realize that she had to live and that she needed to be with her family. Zoe went to live with her grandmother. Jarod and Zoe fell in love while they were together.

In May of 2000, Jarod and Zoe went on vacation together. Major Charles contacted Jarod while he was with Zoe. Zoe told Jarod that she was in remission. Zoe said it was fine that Jarod go find his sister, because she knew it was important to him. Zoe returned to her grandmothers, where she was abducted from by Mr. Cox and Mr. Lyle. Major Charles saved her. We assume that she is back with her grandmother.
