In his autobiography, Manson describes meeting and befriending [[Jennifer Syme]], who he discovered was David Lynch's assistant.

"Our relationship with Lynch had begun two years earlier through a girl we had met named Jennifer, who claimed to be Lynch's assistant. At the time, everybody else had dismissed her as a name-dropping groupie. But when it came down to it, her claim was not only true, it resulted in an offer for us to collaborate with him on the soundtrack to his new movie, Lost Highway, as well as appear in the film."<ref>''[[The Long Hard Road Out of Hell]]'', page 239 on [http://books.google.com/books?id=C277rKepbkEC&pg=PA239&lpg=PA239&dq=Our+relationship+with+Lynch+had+begun+two+years+earlier+through+a+girl&source=bl&ots=hHYiTQufvg&sig=1b8w-KptmjGpBlVSk_W4rib0sws&hl=en&ei=-ggeS6rNAY3klAeB4LT8Cw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CAgQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Our%20relationship%20with%20Lynch%20had%20begun%20two%20years%20earlier%20through%20a%20girl&f=false Google Books]</ref>

Jennifer Syme, 29, died on April 1, 2001, when she was thrown from her Jeep Cherokee after hitting at least three parked cars. [[Marilyn Manson]] defended himself against claims that he was responsible for the death of the woman after a party at his mansion that same night.

A wrongful death lawsuit filed three days later by Syme's mother alleges Manson was negligent in "instructing the woman to operate a motor vehicle in her incapacitated condition." Maria St. John was also seeking unspecified damages and attorney's fees. According to the lawsuit, Manson gave Syme drugs before she was dropped off at her home. She got into her car, with the intent of returning to Manson's home, during which the accident occurred.
