The LAPD went on to investigate Jean Spangler's case, using the note in her handbag as their primary clue. Using the "Dr. Scott" mentioned in the note as a lead, investigators interviewed all doctors with the name Scott in the Los Angeles area. However, this resulted in a dead-end as none of them had a listed patient named Jean Spangler, per 9 News. In interviews with friends, authorities also learned that Jean was allegedly three months pregnant when she disappeared. They concluded then that Jean was seeking an abortion, which was illegal at the time. There were places where women could get abortions, but of course, they were off the books.
Jean's ex-husband was also interviewed, but he claimed that he had not seen Jean for weeks, which was backed up by his new wife. He also said he did not have a scheduled meet-up with her. The studios where Jean work was also investigated, but authorities found out that no movies were in production on the night Jean said she was going to work, per Palm Springs Life. A witness claimed he saw Jean at a Farmers Market at approximately 6 p.m. the night she left her home, and she appeared to be waiting for someone.
The last clue was the "Kirk" mentioned in the note. During the course of the investigation, the police received a call from none other than Kirk Douglas himself, who was already a big movie star at the time.
