Storylines

Audrey Parker

In the beginning of season one, Audrey is dispatched to Haven, Maine, USA, to investigate the death of an escaped federal prisoner named Jonas Lester, a former Haven resident. On her first day in town, she nearly runs her Ford Taurus off a cliff, but is rescued by Detective Nathan Wuornos, who ends up assisting in her investigation. She meets Havenites Conrad Brauer and Duke Crocker, as well as journalists Vince and Dave Teagues, before discovering that Lester was thrown to his death by a local woman named Marion Caldwell. Incredibly, Audrey finds that Marion killed the man using her paranormal abilities.

The Teagues show Audrey an old newspaper clipping with a photo of a young boy, as well as a woman who strongly resembles Audrey herself. Her curiosity is awakened and after solving the Lester case, Parker chooses to stay in Maine, using several weeks of her accrued vacation time. She questions Haven Police Chief Garland Wuornos (Nathan's father) about the woman in the picture.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Haven season 1” as season of television series. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewBest approached as a cultural-object dossier: authorship and date matter, but circulation and reception often explain the wider significance. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2010—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Haven, season and television can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as season of television series. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3465860. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
