Even After 70 Years…
About 70 years and countless investigations later, the Spangler case doesn’t look very different today than it did at the time. Despite the several promising leads, police were stumped by the evidence – each piece contradicted the next. For anyone who enjoys a good thriller and mystery, this is one to read about. It’s not only a true story but a compelling one at that.

In the 1940s, Jean Elizabeth Spangler was an up-and-coming Hollywood socialite. She was born in Seattle, Washington, on September 2, 1923. By the time high school came around, Jean had moved to Los Angeles, setting her sights on the film industry. As soon as she graduated from Franklin High School, she started modeling professionally and was dancing at LA’s Florentine Gardens and the Earl Carroll Theatre.
