About this listen
Detective Lou Rivera opened a dusty cardboard box expecting paperwork but pulled out a tan lace bra stiff with dried blood. For decades, the woman who wore it was known only as Jane Doe 59, her body found in the brush off Mulholland Drive with over one hundred and fifty stab wounds. The system had cremated her remains before she could be identified, leaving only this single piece of clothing to tell her story.
In this episode, we explore the postcard sent to a worried family just days before the murder, a pair of prescription glasses that vanished from a crime scene, and a sister who never stopped searching faces in crowds. Was this the work of the Manson Family, or a personal betrayal by a man named Jean? The answer lay dormant in a cold case file for half a century.
Case Details:- Victim: Reet Jurvetson, 19, aspiring artist; Marina Habe, 17, college student.
- Date: November 1969 and December 1968.
- Location: Los Angeles, California, USA.
- Case Status: Reet Jurvetson was identified in 2015, but both murders remain officially unsolved with no active suspects.
- A tan lace bra with blood evidence was stored improperly in a paper file box for decades instead of a biohazard locker.
- Reet was stabbed over 150 times in the neck, yet there was no sexual assault, suggesting personal rage.
- Her body was cremated shortly after discovery, destroying potential future forensic evidence.
- A postcard sent on October 31st described her as "happy," just two weeks before she was found dead.
