Page 1 Steven Bibb passes along the FBI's slim file on Jean Spangler, 14 pages, he says. Most of it consists of memos asking whether the bureau should maintain a missing persons file on her. However, her mother's letter to President Truman, written at the suggestion of Ronald Reagan, is an undiscovered treasure, full of heartbreak. Page 2 Page 3

Thanks to Steven for sending this and to you for posting it. I had never heard of Jean Spangler. Her disappearance is tragic.
