We will never know about the dancer and actress Jean Spangler had a successful career ahead of him. She had started her career acting in films as an extra. She aspired to become a celebrity, but on October 27, 1949, she disappeared and was never heard from again. Unlike other disappearances, the Spangler case really confounded law enforcement. The problem wasn’t a lack of leads; rather, there were an excessive number. Despite the interest and mystery surrounding her life, none of the paths they took led to a satisfactory outcome.
That night, Spangles informed her sister-in-law that she was leaving for work when she left her home. Two hours later she called to say she wouldn’t be back until the following morning. Spangler had absolutely no work scheduled for the evening. Two days later, her purse was discovered in a park. Its handle was torn. This works best when mom is away. There the track ended up at a dead end.
Custody of their young daughter was a point of contention between them Spangles and her ex-husband. In the end, he was given custody of Spangler. Around the same period, the Black Dahlia killer was also active. Even the Mafia was believed to be involved as other well-known mob figures disappeared around the same period. But the truth is still a mystery.
