LOS ANGELES (AP) Police are looking for two men in connection with the death of a 19-year-old Canadian woman found savagely stabbed to death in Los Angeles in 1969 near the site of the most notorious Manson family killings.

The Los Angeles Police Department released sketches of the men Friday based on a July interview with a witness in Montreal, Canada.

The sketches show how the men would have looked in 1969, when 19-year-old Reet Jurvetson's body was found stabbed 150 times.

Jurvetson was known as Jane Doe No. 59 until detectives finally identified her last year. They used DNA after Jurvetson's sister recognized a photo of the young woman's body posted online.

1. Not to second guess

but it took 47 years for a photo of the deceased's body to be
shown to her sister?

That doesn't sound like a difficult thing to have done decades ago

2. they didn't know it was her sister

they didn't know who she was

3. Oh! I get it this time

They didn't know the identity of the victim.

And photos didn't circulate back then like they do now with the internet.

Seems a call for more publicity over unsolved crimes ... crime shows and the like

5. You'd think they'd be matching up Jane Doe victims with missing people cases & showing pictures.

Long ago.

But it's not easy and it is a lot to ask people to look at multiple photos of murder victims.

4. Interesting, but . . .

Article says that the police released sketches of the men, but doesn't show the sketches. Not much good if no one can see them, yeah?
