Research Tech describes about Marie Helene, who is helping Jason:

Research Tech: She's 26, born outside Hanover. Her father was a welder. He died in '87. We still don't have the mother. The grandmother, she's still in Hanover. It looks like she's the anchor for this little domestic disaster.

What does "little domestic disaster" mean?

I think there is a subtle suggestion from the choice of Wording that although the child was problematic, her disasters were not entirely caused by her own actions and more the product of the lifestyle she was raised in.

So Domestic disaster = home wrecked?

It don't think we have enough context to understand properly. You may well be right.
