Alice Parker, daughter of Mary, was born inside the walls of Ratliff Sanitarium. Mary was attacked by an unidentified staff member shortly after being committed, and based on her previous exploits, her cries for help went unacknowledged. When it was determined that she was with child, Mary’s pregnancy was kept silent and she remained hidden away. On the day Mary gave birth, she wasn't even able to lay eyes on the child before it was taken away. All Mary heard was, “It's a girl.”

Young Alice bounced around from home to home, never really finding a place to fit in. She was in and out of trouble her whole life, and her erratic, violent behavior made it extremely difficult to make any real connections. Alice supported herself through different cons and scams and perfected the art of deceiving anyone foolish enough to trust her.
