Reet Jurvetson: Finally Identified 46 Years Later
In 1969, a body is discovered in the brush off of Mulholland Drive in LA California. The murder was extremely gruesome -- the woman was stabbed over 150 times. This unidentified woman became known as “Sherry Doe” or “Jane Doe 59.” It took 46 years for this woman to get her name back.
Jane Doe #59 is actually a woman named Reet Jurvetson, who was murdered at the young age of 19 years old.
Though there are some persons of interest, the amount of time that has passed between the murder and discovering Reet's identity, as well as some unfortunate events, have made identifying those suspects (and finding them) extremely difficult.
