Jack Murphy was the neighbor of the Winnetka McCallister family and the father of Mitch Murphy.
Biography[]
One Christmas, Jack and his family were going to Orlando, Florida after going to Missouri to pick up Mitch's grandmother, possibly Jack's mother. After Mitch returned home after checking out the McCallister family's airport vans (which led to the family mistaken that Mitch's neighbor and friend Kevin McCallister was with him when in reality Kevin was still asleep inside), Jack and his family left to go on vacation.[1]
Peter kept calling Jack on his home phone when Kevin was accidentally left behind at home. One of the messages was heard by the Wet Bandits, Harry Lyme and Marv Murchins when they were robbing the Murphys' family home and discovered that the McCallister family had left for Paris the previous day.[1]
