A neighbor had discovered the bodies of a year-old woman, her year-old son, and her year-old daughter. All three had suffered gunshot wounds from a. The daughter, found partially clothed in her bed, had a bullet wound in her back. The son, also in bed, had been shot once in his upper chest. A typewritten suicide note on the typewriter was signed with her initial.
As often is the case in intra-familial homicide investigations, detectives interviewed the surviving spouse as a suspect. Spangler admitted marital problems with his wife and that he planned to leave her. Two separate, private polygraph examiners found his answers inconclusive to questions about his role in the deaths.
Most of the evidence either was returned to Spangler or destroyed. Seven months later, Spangler married again. He and his second wife shared a common interest—hiking in Grand Canyon, Arizona. She eventually wrote a book of her experiences hiking the Canyon.
Subsequently, the couple began to have marital problems, and they divorced in This wife was an active aerobics instructor with five grown children and numerous grandchildren from a previous marriage. One morning in April , Spangler appeared at a ranger station in the Grand Canyon and calmly told the ranger that his wife had fallen to her death.
He explained that they had stopped to take a picture on the trail and, when he looked back, his wife was gone. The autopsy report concluded that she sustained massive injuries, including abrasions, contusions, lacerations, and multiple fractures of the neck, chest, and lower extremities.
He drew national attention with interviews on several television shows. Spangler continued to backpack the Canyon with a variety of partners several times a year. After the death of his third wife, Spangler reestablished contact with his second wife, who moved back into his Colorado home and died of a drug overdose in This death was not investigated by law enforcement. In January , perceptive investigators from the U. Department of Interior, National Park Service, and counties of Coconino, Arizona, and Arapahoe, Colorado, linked the cold case homicides in their respective jurisdictions.
An assistant U. First, NCAVC officials suggested that investigators complete a subject history on Spangler, stressing that investigators should familiarize themselves with all available information. Early investigation revealed that Spangler was an educated, intelligent, and successful man. A charismatic individual, he worked in careers of human relations and public speaking.
In addition, Spangler spent a significant amount of time living in different parts of Colorado and hiking the Grand Canyon. One lead set by the FBI agent resulted in an interview of a woman living in a small Colorado community who, subsequently, contacted authorities a few weeks after her interview.
At that time,she gave them a copy of a letter she received from Spangler in which he advised her that he had terminal cancer.
A complete confession was critical for prosecution because of the lack of existing evidence. The investigative team traveled to Colorado to interview Spangler, and the AUSA met them there to provide on-site legal consultation.
In Colorado, local law enforcement and the local FBI office supported investigators. The agent from the National Park Service observed the initial interview and participated on the second day.
The first day of interviewing lasted about 4 hours. Spangler believed investigators when they told him that FBI profilers wanted to study him because he was a unique killer. Like some other serial murderers, his compulsion to kill even fascinated him. Investigators confronted Spangler with the murders of his wife and children, the drug overdose of his second wife, and the murder of his third wife in the Grand Canyon.
Contrary to expectations of the investigation team, Spangler telephoned the FBI agent the next morning and made an appointment to continue the interview after breakfast. Rapport was the key communication link between Spangler and the investigators, allowing the interview to continue despite an overnight 12 break.
During the second interview, Spangler told investigators how, while married to his first wife, he fell in love with another woman, then shot his wife and two teenage children to be with her. Further, Spangler said he smothered his son with a pillow after shooting him because the bullet wound was not lethal. Investigators encouraged Spangler to talk about the Grand Canyon murder by telling him that killing several people at one time did not make him a serial killer.
The NCAVC officials provided a behavioral analysis and interview strategy directly applied by investigators in the Spangler case. Spangler was concerned about his public reputation. He had been a radio talk show celebrity and was well respected in the community. After confessing, Spangler sent the FBI agent a letter, pleading with him to minimize the publicity about the case.
In this letter, Spangler argued that he was not like other serial killers who target people for race or sexual orientation, correctly assessing that some serial killers target groups they perceive as undesirable. When she came to, the actor was still in the room gloating, and told her to come see him tomorrow night and he might give her the role. He laughed at her as she fell down, her legs so wobbly and weak. She gathered her torn clothes, and tried to walk out of the hotel and to her car — blood and semen running down her legs and bruises already forming on her face.
She could barely make it back home in her car. She wanted to kill herself, so ashamed of what happened. The damage to her psyche was permanent, and haunted her forever. They called a doctor, who took her to the hospital secretly to have her treated… The studio knew, and did nothing. After all, the star actor was a money machine. But she never forgot, or forgave, and never got over what happened.
She never named the star actor publicly, but her friends and family knew the truth. Even after marriage and kids, if she saw this actor anywhere — she would almost convulse and cry. And worst of all, Hollywood and the world continued to honor him, pay him, and treat him like a king.
Himmmm went on to name the actor in question:. But those who know the truth are still hoping and praying he will rot in hell for eternity.
That all his good deeds and donations will never mask the truth…. So when the time comes, and the now year -ld Kirk Douglas, the superstar actor, finally dies, there will be tributes and honors about him. Just remember that he is a monster who never repented, apologized, nor showed any sorrow for destroying the lives of others. Especially the life of that young beloved actress named Natalie Wood. Accuser claims to be Robert Downey Jr. Our sister site Jezebel this week speculated and relayed the speculation of others that Himmmm might be Downey Jr.
In these new postings, he seemed to confirm this, inasmuch as an anonymous blog commenter can confirm anything, giving clues that amount to an outright claim he is Downey Jr.. This is the money paragraph where Himmmm attempts to out himself as Downey Jr.
Like her mother, Natasha is an amazing woman and amazing actress who is a great person in every way. But if you want to call Natasha and ask her the name of the male actor she co-starred with in a movie with Heather Graham, then go for it. Call her at home if you want to but be polite.
Her number is: ac Four [last six digits redacted]. So the idea is Wagner knew about the attack on her mom and grew close enough to Downey Jr. The number Himmmm provided for Gregson Wagner does, in fact, belong to a person in Malibu matching her name and age, according to a public records database. Which is to say, this could all be some sort of elaborate hoax by someone with an axe to grind, a knack for sounding authoritative about Hollywood, and way too much time on his hands.
Some even comment. Either way, the Crazy Days and Nights crowd is going bananas. For all the hubub, it seems unlikely a star — even Robert Downey Jr. Himmmm concluded his allegations by signing off from Crazy Days and Nights forever, but, ludicrous as it may seem, something tells us the real-life Downey Jr.
Update : Downey Jr. Our earlier story reposted here:. Did Kirk Douglas murder Jean Spangler? Once you read about her, you, too, will be wondering: What happened to Jean Spangler. Wilson, Urbo. From our Editor Diana Lertzman. It will work best this way while mother is away.
Spangler was born in Seattle, Washington, on Sept. Not long after graduating high school, she married Dexter Benner at 19, but filed for divorce only six months later, alleging cruelty.

One strap was ripped and the cryptic, seemingly unfinished note was inside. Police initially suspected burglary, but nothing seemed to be missing from the purse.
Five dozen police officers and over volunteers scoured the 4,acre park for any sign of Spangler but found nothing. With nothing to go on but the mysterious note, police searched the L. Then, somehow, things got even weirder. In another strange twist of events, actor Kirk Douglas phoned L. Police received reports saying Spangler was sighted in Palm Springs, California, with Davy Ogul, who disappeared only two days after Spangler.
Ogul was involved with gangster Mickey Cohen, who was similarly connected to Eli Lasky. Over the next few years, sightings were reported throughout California, Arizona, and Texas, and even Mexico , but none could be verified. Now, nearly 70 years after she was last seen by friends or family, the LAPD still consider her a missing person, her case file is still open , and the disappearance of Jean Spangler remains an unsolved mystery.

He strongly denied involvement in the overdose death of his second wife and refused to discuss the death in the Grand Canyon because he feared a civil lawsuit from his third wife's grown children. Investigators encouraged Spangler to talk about the Grand Canyon murder by telling him that killing several people at one time did not make him a serial killer.
This approach worked on Spangler; after a period of silence, he said, "You've got your serial. The NCAVC officials provided a behavioral analysis and interview strategy directly applied by investigators in the Spangler case.
Further, they accurately predicted several of Spangler's behaviors. Spangler was concerned about his public reputation. He had been a radio talk show celebrity and was well respected in the community. After confessing, Spangler sent the FBI agent a letter, pleading with them to minimize the publicity about the case.
In this letter, Spangler argued that he was not like other serial killers who target people for race or sexual orientation , correctly assessing that some serial killers target groups they perceive as undesirable.
