In November 1969, a teenage boy out bird watching discovered the body of a young woman discarded along the famed Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles. Dubbed Jane Doe #59, this woman would be connected to the similar murder of Marina Habe, the Manson family, and Scientology—but investigators struggled to find out what happened to her. In 2015, a family friend finally identified her as 19-year-old Reet Jurvetson, who may have been connected to a man named Jean/John.
