Jody Mills is the sheriff in a town of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She is married, and had a young son named Owen who died shortly before the events of '5.15 Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.' She has known Bobby Singer for some time, but is not particularly impressed with him saying "he's a menace around here - ass full of drunk-and-disorderlies and mail fraud." They form a friendship of sorts after she, Bobby and the Winchesters help save the town from zombies. She covers for him with the FBI, and after he saves her from leviathans, they develop a closer relationship. Following Bobby's death, Jody says she has been keeping an eye on police reports for the sort of cases that might be supernatural-related.
