2.06 No Exit

While hunting with Sam and Dean, Jo reminisces about her father with Dean:

I was still in pigtails when my dad died, but I remember him coming home from a hunt. He'd burst through that door like, like Steve McQueen or something. And he'd sweep me up in his arms, and I'd breathe in that old leather jacket of his. And my mom, who was sour and pissed from the minute he left, she started smiling again. And we were... we were a family. You wanna know why I want to do the job? For him. It's my way of being close to him. Now tell me what's wrong with that.

After Jo is rescued after being abducted by the spirit of serial murderer Dr. H.H. Holmes, Ellen reveals to her that Bill was killed while on a hunt with John Winchester. According to Ellen, W.A.H.'s death was John's fault, and this is the reason John never visited the Roadhouse after W.A.H.'s death.

2.14 Born Under a Bad Sign

While possessed by the Meg!Demon, Sam takes Jo hostage. The demon taunts her about her father's death. She relates the version she knows:

Our dads were in California: Devil's Gate Reservoir. They were setting a trap for some kind of Hell spawn. John was hiding, waiting, and my dad was bait...The thing showed up. John got too eager, jumped out too soon, got my dad exposed out in the open. The thing turned around and killed him.

Evil!Sam gives his own, more horrible version:

You see, Bill was all clawed up. Holding his insides in his hands. He was gurgling and praying to see you and Ellen one more time. So my dad . . . killed him. Put him out of his misery like a sick dog.

and concludes (in a sing song voice) "My daddy shot your daddy in the head"

The veracity of this story must be doubted as the Meg!Demon has interested in hurting Jo and also painting John in a bad light.
