In 2015, Anne Jurvetson’s friend alerted her of a photo of Jane Doe 59 that she saw online. The woman in the photo resembled Anne’s sister, Reet, who had been missing since 1969. According to The Cinemaholic, Reet was an adventurous woman who lived in Montreal with her family. She was 19 years old in 1969 when she traveled to Los Angeles. Her family received letters about her adventures, but the last one they received was a postcard dated October 31, 1969. It was addressed to her parents, and she let them know that she was living in a small apartment and frequented the beach. As noted by LAPD Online, the address was written, but the building, which was the Paramount Hotel, has since been demolished.

The Jurvetsons didn’t report Reet missing, as she was a free spirit and they assumed she was just starting a new life for herself in Los Angeles. Her family wanted to give her space to do as she pleased, but as months and years went by without contact from Reet, their concern grew. They hired a private investigator to look into her whereabouts, but Reet was never found. When Anne saw the photo of Jane Doe 59, she submitted a DNA sample, which turned out to be a match to Jane Doe 59 (via The Fifth Estate).
