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.

In November 2021, Jennifer and Stephen Chapple were locked in a feud with their neighbors over the most mundane topic: parking spots. Because their neighbor was a “trained killer,” Jennifer told her friends that she feared for her life. Turns out, she had a reason to be afraid.
