Police had been initially unable to identify the body.

The best lead police had been able to establish in her case was a man named "John". After first meeting him in the summer of 1969, Jurvetson had flown to Los Angeles to see him.

Jurvetson's family had emigrated to Canada as refugees during the Second World War, and moved to Montreal in 1951 when she was only a year old.
