Biography

Before the events of Friday the 13th Part III, Debbie had been potentially impregnated by her boyfriend, Andrew Beltrami, as she is late in menstruation. At some earlier point in her life, she attended a high school, where it was evident she was not a very serious student. Two months later, they both join Chris Higgins along with all of her other friends on a trip to Higgins Haven, a resort near Crystal Lake. They proceed to the Sanchez residence to pick up their friend Vera, who greets them after finishing a verbal fight with her mother. Chris wonders what the fight was over, but Debbie admits she could not interpret as she failed Spanish back in high school. On the way, Debbie tells Chris to stop the van when she notices a man lying on the road, who shows the group an eyeball and warns them to go back from whence they came. Chris and her friends dismiss the man as a drifter and lunatic before driving away in their van.

Once they get to Higgins Haven, Chris leads Debbie to her old room. She asks where the bed was, and Chris reveals a hammock. She spends her time sunbathing, while Andy teases her by dropping a yo-yo an inch from her face. Later she takes a walk with Andy who amuses her by doing handstands. When Andy offers for them to check out the barn, unaware that Jason Voorhees was watching them from the inside, Debbie decides against it so Andy changes his mind.

Later that night, Debbie watches as Andy competes with Shelly Finkelstein in a juggling contest. When Debbie says Andy could make better use of his hands, he declares Shelly the winner. Debra and Andrew go up to Chris' room to have sex, but Debbie says for Andy to wait until she has showered, saying she is dirty and sweaty from being outdoors all day. During the shower, Andy asks if she wants a beer, to which she accepts. She then remembers that alcohol would not be good for the baby and decides against it. She calls out to Andy to tell him, but no response. When she dries herself off, she calls out to Andy again, still no response. Disregarding it, she lays down on the hammock to read a book. Debbie soon notices blood dripping down on her book. She looks up and sees Andy's mutilated corpse wedged in the rafters.

Before she can react, Jason, who had been hiding under the hammock, grabs her and stabs her through the hammock, killing her and her unborn child. Later her corpse would be found by Chris Higgins, hidden in a closet by Jason. 

Her death is similar To Jack Burrell's death in Part 1
