Late on the afternoon of October 7, 1949, 26-year-old, bit-part actress Jean Elizabeth Spangler left her Los Angeles home, which she shared with her 5-year-old daughter and other family members. This was the last ever seen of pretty Jean.
Jean Elizabeth Spangler was born in Seattle, Washington on September 2, 1923 and had appeared in minor roles in Hollywood films and early television. She married Dexter Benner, had a daughter Christine born on April 22, 1944 and when the couple divorced he was granted custody of the child, due in part to Jean's infidelity during the marriage. Benner also cited her lifestyle as a party girl that did not coincide with being a good mother as part of the divorce suit. He denied Jean access to Christine.
