Members of the Manson Family were initially suspected of involvement in Jurvetson's murder, although the Los Angeles Police Department has discounted this possibility,[3] stating the most likely suspect is an unidentified man named "John" or "Jean", whom she had specifically traveled from Canada to meet just weeks prior to her murder.[4]
