Candy Jones, born Jessica Arline Wilcox (December 31, 1925 – January 18, 1990), was an American fashion model, writer and radio talk show hostess.

In 1972, Jones married her second husband, popular radio show host Long John Nebel, and became the co-host of his all-night talk-show on WMCA in New York City.

She recognized some people might consider this naive, but Jones insisted her abusive childhood had made her wary of intimate relationships, and though she had many suitors, she was sexually inexperienced when she married.

[5] Jones opened a modeling school, and she began appearing regularly on NBC's weekend radio news program Monitor.

[2] Jones was soon the regular co-host of Nebel's popular overnight radio talk show, which usually discussed various paranormal topics.

Shortly after their marriage, Nebel said he noted that Jones exhibited violent mood swings, and at times, seemed to display a different personality.

Colin Bennett writes, A few weeks after their marriage, [Jones] did tell Nebel that she had worked for the FBI for some time, adding mysteriously that she might have to go out of town on occasion without giving a reason.

Under hypnosis, Jones related a lengthy, elaborate account of her being trained in a CIA mind-control program, often at west coast colleges and universities.

Again, Jones reported she agreed, and was surprised to discover the letter was delivered to the same Dr. Jensen who had treated her in the Philippines nearly two decades earlier.

While hypnotized, Jones claimed that she was subjected to painful torture in order to test the effectiveness of the alternate personality.

However, Nebel was a prankster and hoaxer of long standing and as he was not above hoaxing his radio audience,[2] some doubted the recovered memories of Candy Jones's past were genuine.

The story of her mind-control claims was featured in an episode of Dark Matters: Twisted But True in a segment entitled "Sexy Secret Agent".
