RESUME OF THE CRIME
On the evening of August 8, 1969, Sharon Polanski
called friends she had previously invited for the evening and stated
that she was not feeling well and was going to remain home with Abigail
Folger and Wojiciech Frykowski, two friends that had been living in her
home since March, 1969. She also stated that Jay Sebring, her one-time
fiance, would probably drop over later in the evening. She cancelled the
above invitation.
Sharon Polanski had been with her husband, film
producer-director, Roman Polanski, in London, England from March 1969,
until approximately July 21, 1969, when she returned home to the
property they leased at 10050 Cielo Drive. Her husband was to
remain in Europe and return to California on August 12, 1969.
In addition to the house that the Polanskis leased,
which is located at the center of the Cielo property (Addendum 1), the
owner of the property, Rudy Autabelli, had his home at the very
southernmost portion of the grounds (Addendum 1 and 1B ). Autabelli had
left his house (Addendum 1 and 1C) and several dogs in the care of
William Garretson, his houseboy. Garretson's only duties were to
care for the dogs and keep Autabelli's home (Addendum 1C) in good order.
The main house leased by the Polanskis was their own responsibility as
to maintenance and domestic help. Garretson was at home at the
time of the murders and was visited by Steven Parent from 2345 on
8-8-69, until 0015 hours, 8-9-69.
Sometime after midnight, August 9, 1969, an unknown
suspect or suspects entered the Cielo property via the front gate which
is operated by an electronic push button that can be operated from
outside the gate. From this point there are three possible theories
which have been reached after analyzing the physical evidence.
The first theory is that the killers climbed a
telephone pole (Addendum 1 and 1A) located just north of the
above-described electronic button which opens the gate to the Cielo
property. The phone wire at the top of this pole had been cut in such a
manner that it stopped phone service to the Cielo property; however, did
not allow the phone wire that runs from the pole to the house to fall to
the ground. The killer(s) also cut a small piece of two-strand wire
which runs from the Cielo home to the telephone pole near the top and
then down to where the button for the gate is located. At one
time, this wire was connected to two speakers which were used for
communications between the house and the gate opener. This had not been
in use since the Polanskis leased the property in February of 1969. This
wire was cut and had fallen across the ground in a north/south direction
across Cielo Drive.
The killers then entered the gate at approximately
0030 hours and were observed by the first victim, Steven Parent, as he
was leaving the guest house which was occupied by a houseboy, William
Garretson. The killers, having been hired to kill Sharon Polanski, Jay
Sebring, Wojiciech Frykowski and Abigail Folger, shot Parent three times
as he attempted to drive his vehicle from the Cielo property. The
killers continued to the main house, the Polanski residence, where they
proceeded to kill the four intended victims.
Second theory: The killers went to the Polanski home
sometime after midnight on 8-9-69, to either deliver or collect for
various types and amounts of narcotics; that an argument ensued either
over the money or the possibility of bad drugs, and the suspect, or
suspects, armed with a knife and gun, proceeded to kill Frykowski,
Folger, Sebring and Polanski. As they left the Polanski home, they were
observed by the fifth victim, Steven Parent, who was leaving William
Garretson's house. As the suspect(s) left, they climbed the power pole
and cut both the telephone wire and the communications wire hoping that
their crime would remain undetected for a long period of time in order
to make good
their escape.
Third theory: That suspect or suspects went to the
Polanski home to commit a residential robbery. Once at the location, a
fight ensued between the suspects and victims. The occupants of the
house were all killed, and as the suspects were leaving they observed
Parent, the fifth victim, leaving the location. They caught Parent and
shot him before he could make good his exit. The possibility also exists
that Parent could have been involved in the setting up and participation
of the above-described attempt robbery, as he did have one knife wound
in the palm of his left hand, indicative of a defensive wound. His fatal
wounds were the result of gunshots. The killers then cut the phone wire
and communication wire to make good their escape and give them more time
before the discovery of the crime.
INVESTIGATORS AT THE SCENE
On 8-9-69, at approximately 0940, West Los Angeles
Detectives were notified that five persons had been killed a t 10050
Cielo Drive, the home of Roman Polanski. The following West Los Angeles
Detectives responded to the scene over a period of approximately one
hour:
Lieutenant
R. C . Madlock, Commander
Lieutenant J. J. Gregoire
Sergeant F. Gravante, 5342
Sergeant T. L. Rogers, 4639.
Lieutenant Madlock phoned Inspector K. J. McCauley and
requested that the investigation be assigned to Homicide Division.
Inspector McCauley assigned the responsibility for the investigation to
Robbery-Homicide Division. Lieutenant R. J. Helder, Supervisor of
Investigations, Robbery-Homicide Division, was contacted and notified of
the above crime and decision as to the responsibility for the
investigation. He assigned the case to Sergeants M. J. McGann, and J.
Buckles. He also called three additional investigators to assist in a
crime scene search and investigation. Sergeants E. Henderson, D. Varney
and D. Galindo were assigned this responsibility . Lieutenant Helder and
the assigned investigators responded to the scene, arriving at various
times between 1330 and 1430 hours.
When investigating officers from Robbery-Homicide
Division arrived at the scene, they found Steven Parent seated in the
driver's position of his Rambler vehicle, MPK 308. The center arm rest
of the front seat was down and Parent's right side was resting against
the arm rest, his head leaning back and to the right in the opening
between the bucket seats. His right arm was resting on the arm rest and
his forearm and right hand were resting on the right passenger seat.
An examination of the vehicle revealed that the lights
were off; the hood was cool and engine off. The ignition switch was in
the vertical, or off, position and the automatic gearshift lever
indicated the car was in second gear. The emergency brake was off and a
later check revealed that the battery was charged. A later check also
revealed slightly over one-half tank of gasoline.
Parent was wearing a red, white and blue plaid shirt,
blue denim pants, white socks and black shoes. Parent's left wrist was
bare; however, a wrist watch, later identified as his, was found in the
left rear passenger seat. The band was severed. Parent had a laceration,
indicative of a defense wound, on the palm of his left hand between the
little and ring fingers. The wound runs vertical with his arm and the
band on the wrist watch was undoubtedly severed when Parent received
this wound. This was the only laceration that was apparent on Parent's
body. It appeared that Parent had been shot in the face, left arm and
chest.
At 1400 hours, Deputy Coroner Finken checked Parent's
liver temperature and found it to be 92 degrees. The environment
temperature was 94 degrees. At that time an extreme degree of rigor
mortis was evident throughout all parts of the body. Post-mortem
lividity was evident in the buttocks area of Parent's body, the back of
his neck and the calves of his legs, which is consistent with the
position that the body was discovered in .
The next body observed was that of Wojiciech
Frykowski. He was lying on his right side, his head resting on his right
arm, his forearm and right hand running parallel with his body. His left
arm was at his side, with the left forearm running perpendicular with
the ground and his left hand clutched the grass where he was lying. His
body was in a north/south direction, the head to the southwest and the
lower body to the northeast. (For the position of the body in relation
to the Polanski residence, see Addendum 1 and 1B.) Frykowski was attired
in a purple shirt, multi-colored pants and brown high-top shoes and
socks. Both his shirt and pants were drenched in blood. Numerous stab
wounds were noted about his body with most of them on his left
side. He also had stab wounds on his back and defense wounds to his
right hand.
At 1410 hours, Deputy Coroner Finken found that
Frykowski's liver temperature was 90 degrees. Rigor mortis was evident
in an extreme degree throughout all parts of the body. Post-mortem
lividity was noted all along the right side of the victim, which is
consistent with the position that he was found in.
Abigail Folger was the next victim observed lying in
the front yard in front of the Polanski home. She was lying in an
east/west direction in a supine position. Her head was to the east and
feet to the west. She was attired in a white, full-length nightgown
which was completely drenched in blood from the breast area downward.
Numerous stab wounds were noted in the upper anterior torso of Folger.
She also had several severe lacerations to the left side of her face.
Defense wounds were noted on both her right and left hands. (For the
exact location of the body, see Addendum 1 and 1B.)
At 1400 hours, Deputy Coroner Finken found that her
liver temperature was 92 degrees. The environment temperature was 88
degrees. Rigor mortis in an extreme degree was noted throughout the
entire body. Post-mortem lividity was noted on the posterior of the
deceased consistent with the position in which she was found.
The next victim found was Sharon Polanski. She was
inside the living room of the Polanski home, lying on her left side
directly in front of a sofa which faces the fireplace. (For the exact
location, see Addendum 1 and 1B.) Her head was to the south and her
legs, which were tucked up towards her body in a fetal position, were to
the north. Numerous stab wounds were noted about her breasts, a wound in
the upper abdominal region and one stab wound in the right leg. She was
obviously several months pregnant. There was dried blood smeared over
the entire body. It appeared to investigating officers that someone had
handled the victim, as in moving her from one location to another and
the blood from the stab wounds had been smeared over other parts of the
body.
A nylon rope, approximately 3/4 inches in diameter,
was wrapped around Polanski's neck two turns. The two ends of the rope
then went in a southerly direction, running parallel with Polanski's
body. One end of this rope was wrapped around Sebring's neck, the
remainder of this rope going underneath Sebring, parallel with the body.
The remaining end which came from Sharon Polanski's body went up and
over a ceiling beam, the loose end hanging on the other side of the
beam, touching the floor.
Polanski was attired in a bikini-type nightgown
consisting of bra and pants. They were multi-colored and blood drenched.
Deputy Coroner Finken checked the deceased's liver
temperature and found it to be 82 degrees. The environment temperature
was 83 degrees at 1410 hours. There was an extreme degree of rigor
mortis evident in all parts of the body. Post-mortem lividity was noted
in the posterior portion of the body consistent with the position in
which the body was found .
The fifth victim, Jay Sebring, was also located in the
living room area of the Polanski home. Approximately 4 feet separated
him from Sharon Polanski. He was on his right side in an east/west
direction. His head was to the east and his lower upper torso was to the
west. His legs went out at an angle perpendicular to the body, the feet
in a northerly direction. A light colored towel, blood drenched, covered
his head and face in a manner similar to that of a hood. The
above-described rope which was wound around Polanski's neck was also
wrapped around Sebring. The one end of the rope which came from Polanski
was wrapped around Sebring's neck 1 1/2 times. The loose end went
underneath the body, running parallel with the upper torso and
continuing toward the fire hearth in a westerly direction. Stab wounds
were noted on Sebring's body and a large abrasion appeared on the left
side of his face at the bridge of the nose. His left eye was bruised and
swollen. His clothing was blood drenched and consisted of a blue shirt,
white pants with black vertical stripes and black high-top boots.
Deputy Coroner Finken checked the liver temperature at
1400 hours and found it to be 83 degrees. The environment temperature
was 83 degrees. An extreme degree of rigor mortis was evident in all
parts of the body. Post-mortem lividity was apparent on the right side
of the deceased, which is consistent with the position in which he was
found.
The above-described rope, three strand (G28), was 43
feet 8 inches in length. A complete description of the rope and manner
in which it was tied is found in the Evidence portion of this report.
A gun grip from a Longhorn model .22-caliber,
Hi-standard revolver was found in the living room of the Polanski home.
At the time of this report, investigating officers have been unable to
pinpoint the exact location where this grip was located. They were
apparently kicked by either the uniform officers or West Los Angeles
detectives after they arrived on the scene. (For a complete description
of the grips and a resume on efforts to check out this weapon, see the
Evidence portion of this report.)
The following is a brief list of the victims' blood
type and sub types. Also included is a list of blood which was taken
from various locations within the house and front porch area which has
been typed. Officer Granado, Scientific Investigation Division, is
attempting to sub type these additional blood samples. (For a complete
list of the types of blood and location and type of blood samples, see
Addendum No. 2).
1. Steven Parent
/ Blood type B-MN
2. Wojiciech Frykowski / Blood type B-MN
3. Abigail Folger / Blood type B-MN
4. Jay Sebring /Blood Type O-MN
5. Sharon Polanski /Blood Type O-M
The following blood samples were taken from various
locations within the Polanski house and front porch area:
Large blood spot north portion of front porch near
entryway, type O-MN
Blood spot approximately 3 feet southwest of the
above-described spot, type O-M
Blood spot on block wall which separates entry hall
from living room, type O-M
Blood spot on trunks which blocked living room
entrance from entry hall, type O
Blood around area of Polanski's body and Sebring's
body and rope which they were tied with, type O
Blood spots near southern portion of living room
which leads to bedroom, type B.
Blood drops in hallway which leads to master bedroom
exit, type B.
Blood smears on shutters of master bedroom door
which leads to pool area of residence, also blood drops on floor
beneath the shutter, both type B.
Blood spot on walkway which leads from master
bedroom exit toward area where Abigail Folger was found, type B
Bloody footprints and one shoe heel print found on
walkway which leads onto front porch and into the entry of Polanski
residence, type 0.
These blood spots are also identified in Addendums 1
and 1B of this report. Additional blood smears were found on the
electric button and housing inside the gate separating the Polanski
property from Cielo Drive, blood type O. (This button and housing is
depicted in Addendum 1 and 1A.)
Entrance to the Polanski property by car can be gained
from only one entrance. This entrance is located at the northwestern
edge of the property and is protected by a wrought iron fence and gate.
The gate is 12 feet wide and is in the center portion of the fence. It
is 6 ' high and electrically controlled from both inside the property
and outside. The outside electric button and housing has a key slot
which can be locked, thus preventing the button when pushed from
activating the gate. At the time of investigating officers' arrival,
this lock was in an open position and the button activated the gate. The
gate button and housing inside the Polanski property operate in a
similar manner to the outside device.
After entering the gate for an area of approximately
130 feet there is paved parking area and a two-story, three-car
garage. There is a steep hill to the south of the entrance and a
cliff to the north. (For a detailed description of this area, see
Addendum 1 and 1A.)
There are four entrances to the Polanski residence;
No. 1 is the front door which is entered from the east and opens into
the entry hall which leads to the dining room or to the living room on
the south. The second entry is from the service area porch which leads
into the service area and then into the kitchen. It is located on the
west side of the house, northern portion. The third entrance is located
on the west side of the house near the center and opens into the living
room. The fourth entrance is located at the south end of the house
and opens into the master bedroom. (The house and entrances are depicted
in Addendum 1 and 1B.)
There are four entrances into the guest house; No. 1
is located on the east side of the house and is reached by walking
through a screened porch area and then into the living room. The second
entry is located on the north side of the house and leads into a pantry
and kitchen. The third entrance is located on the west side of the house
and leads into a large room where several dogs are kept. The fourth
entrance is located on the south end of the house and opens into an
enclosed patio area. (The house and entrances are depicted in Addendum 1
and 1C of this report.)
There were no indications of ransacking noted in
either the Polanski home or the guest house.
Suspect or suspects cut phone wire and additional
communications
outlet outside of properties in order to cut off
outside communications with the house. Suspect(s) entered the house. One
of the suspects shot two of the persons in the house, while a probable
second suspect stabbed other victims. At the conclusion of the murders,
the suspect(s) used either a rag or towel, wiped blood from the front
porch and wrote "PIG" on the lower portion of the front door.
They shot and killed a fifth victim who had been visiting the houseboy,
William Garretson, as he attempted to leave the location.
Probable weapons used by the suspects were a
.22-caliber revolver and a bayonet. For additional description of
weapons used, see Weapons portion of this report.
CHRONOLOGICAL NARRATIVE
On 2-2-69, Mr. and Mrs. Roman Polanski entered into a
lease with a Mr. Rudy Autabelli. The lease was for the main house, pool
and garage area of 10050 Cielo Drive, Los Angeles, California (Addendum
1 and 1B). The lease was to be for one year with a one-year option, and
was prepared by Mr. Autabelli's attorney, Berry L. Hirsch.
A small guest house which Autabelli used as his home
when he was in Los Angeles was not part of this lease and he left
William Garretson in charge of this residence. (This is referred to in
Addendum 1 and 1C.)
Roman and Sharon Polanski moved into the house on
2-15-69. They had been living approximately one mile from this location
a t 1600 Summit Ridge Drive.
In mid March of this year, the Polanskis had a large
catered party which included over 100 invited guests. The persons
invited included actors, actresses, film directors and producers,
business agents for the above-described people, and the Polanskis'
attorneys. Most of the people invited came to the party along with
several people who were uninvited. The list of uninvited guests included
William Doyle, Thomas Harrigan and Harrison Pickens Dawson. They came to
the party accompanied by an invited guest, Ben Carruthers and an
unidentified male.
During the party, a verbal altercation ensued
involving William Tennant, Roman Polanski's business agent, and William
Doyle. Doyle apparently stepped on Tennant's foot during this
altercation. Dawson and Harrigan joined in the verbal altercation,
siding with Doyle. Roman Polanski became very irritated and ordered
Doyle, Harrigan and Dawson ejected from the party. Ben Carruthers and
the unidentified male that had accompanied him to the party escorted the
three men from the property.
The above-described party was held as a bon voyage
party for the Polanskis who were leaving for a film festival in Rio de
Janeiro and then to Europe where Roman Polanski was to direct a film.
The Polanskis left Los Angeles at the end of March. Prior to leaving,
they invited Wojiciech Frykowski and Abigail Folger to live in their
house. In addition to Frykowski and Folger, the Polanski maid, Winifred
Chapman, stayed on at the Polanski residence. She did not live on the
premises, but commuted five days a week; her regular days off being
Saturday and Sunday.
Frykowski and Folger had shared a residence at 2774
Woodstock Road, living at this location in a common-law relationship.
They met in New York during the early part of 1968, and had moved to the
Woodstock address in Los Angeles the latter part of 1968. Frykowski was
a very close friend of Roman Polanski, both of them growing up in a
small town in Poland. One apparent reason for their close relationship
is the fact that Frykowski's father, who was quite well-to-do in Poland,
financed Polanski's first film. Since that time, Roman Polanski, who has
become quite successful in the movie industry, has felt indebted to the
Frykowski family. Frykowski was a writer; however, up until the time of
his death, apparently none of his stories had been purchased. He lived
on the money which was provided by Folger through her inheritance.
Frykowski and Folger accepted the Polanski invitation
to stay at their home until their estimated return sometime in early
August of 1969. They moved into the Polanski home on the 1st of April
and used the east bedroom located in the main part of the house
(Addendum 1B). When Frykowski and Folger moved into the Polanski home,
they invited Witold Kaczanowski to live at their house on Woodstock
Road. Kaczawkski accepted their invitation as he was an artist and at
that time was unemployed. Kaczanowski was a friend of Frykowski. They
had met in New York some years prior.
During April, May, June and the first part of July,
Frykowski and Folger had many impromptu parties. An open invitation
policy existed at the house. Drug use was prevalent. They used hashish,
marijuana, mescaline, cocaine and MDA.
William Doyle, Tom Harrigan, Pic Dawson, John Deturo,
Charles Tacot, Ben Carruthers, Cass Elliot, Witold Kaczanowski, along
with several other narcotics users, were frequent visitors and party
qoers at the Polanski residence.
William Doyle and Tom Harrigan came to Los Angeles in
January of 1969, from Toronto, Canada. Doyle arrived first via
commercial airline, arriving with an estimated two pounds of cocaine.
After his arrival, he took up residence at Cass Elliot's, 7708 Woodrow
Wilson Drive, Los Angeles. Doyle and Elliot, had met while Elliot was
making a film in Toronto, Canada, Doyle's and Harrigan's hometown. When
Doyle arrived, it was obvious to Elliot that he was high on drugs and
when he produced the two pounds of cocaine, Elliot told him he would
have to leave. It was at this time that Harrigan arrived and the two of
them took up residence at 1459 North Rings Road, Los Angeles. From this
location, Doyle and Harrigan began to solicit and make friends among
various persons in the movie industry. They did this in order to make
contacts for the sale of the smuggled cocaine.
Harrigan and Doyle, after moving to Kings Road, sold a
t least $6,000 worth of cocaine during their first month.
Terrance Cooksley, an 18-year-old houseboy at the
Kings Road address remained high for at least the month of February on
cocaine supplied by Harrigan and Doyle. Sometime in March, he stole the
$6,000 that Doyle and Harrigan had made. He frequented miscellaneous
discotheques in the Los Angeles area and spent the money freely or gave
it away in the form of large tips to various waiters. Doyle and Harrigan
followed him to Stockton, California where they knocked him around and
threatened him. They told him to keep his mouth shut and left Cooksley
returned to Los Angeles, and in mid March, Doyle and Harrigan took
Cooksley, bodily, from the Whiskey-A-Go Go. They rode around in the
Hollywood hills, with Harrigan driving. Doyle was in the back seat
beating Cooksley with a hammer handle. Harrigan stated it appeared that
Cooksley liked the beating and, therefore, they stopped. A crime report
was taken; however, Cooksley gave misleading statements and information
and there was no prosecution. He did describe Harrigan and Doyle to his
father as vicious persons and probably hired killers.
Doyle and Harrigan became quite friendly with
Frykowski and Folger. This was mainly due to the fact that Frykowski was
interested in the known drugs on the market, in addition to future
synthetic drugs that were being made in eastern Canada. Doyle and
Harrigan told Frykowski that they would obtain the new synthetic drug,
MDA, from Canada and allow him to be one of the first to try it. This
conversation or agreement apparently took place sometime in the early
part of July, 1969, at the Polanski home.
In mid July, Doyle left for Jamaica with Charles Tacot
to make an underground film about the effects of marijuana. Harrigan
made a trip to Toronto, Canada and brought back a supply of MDA and
possibly other drugs via commercial airlines. It is known that he
supplied at least a portion of this MDA to Frykowski. It is possible
that Frykowski was given this drug by some other emissary two
or.three.days prior to the murder.
Kaczanowski was present at the Polanski home in the
early part of July and overheard Doyle and Harrigan tell Frykowski they
were going to get him the drug known as MDA. Kaczanowski did not see
Doyle and Harrigan after this meeting.
The first of June, 1969, Mark Fine, an actor friend of
Frykowski, came into the city from New York. He was due to make a movie
in Hollywood. The first part of July, Frykowski offered Fine a room at
his Woodstock house. Fine accepted and moved in the first of July.
Approximately one week later, Frykowski learned that Sharon Polanski was
coming home from Europe the 21st of July. He and Folger intended to move
back into their Woodstock house and began moving clothing into the
house.
Frykowski told Fine that he would have to find another
place to live. Fine agreed and moved from the house. Fine had agreed the
latter part of July to introduce Frykowski to a director friend of his
in an attempt for Frykowski to sell a story to this director. Fine
arranged a meeting for Frykowski on August 6, 1969. On August 4, Fine
called Frykowski and told him of the arranged meeting. Frykowski told
Fine that some friends were coming in from Canada on August 6 and that
he would have to pick them up at the airport in the afternoon. Fine
stated he would arrange a meeting for some other day and the
conversation was terminated. Fine did not see Frykowski again.
Investigating officers have been unable to establish
if Frykowski did in fact pick friends up from the airport as he had told
Mark Fine. Abigail Folger did keep her appointment with Doctor Marvin
Flicker, her psychiatrist, on 8-6-69, a t 1630 hours. She made no
mention of an expected arrival of friends from Canada.
On July 21, 1969, Sharon Polanski returned to Los
Angeles. She arrived before her husband Roman due to the fact she was 7
1/2 months pregnant and travel was becoming difficult. Roman Polanski
was due to arrive in Los Angeles on August 12, 1969.
Sharon Polanski asked Folger and Frykowski to remain
on at her home until Roman returned from Europe. They agreed and
remained in the bedroom they had been occupying during her absence.
Thursday morning, August 7, 1969, Mrs. Winifred
Chapman, housekeeper, can recall no unusual occurrences in the
household. Investigating officers have established that Tom Harrigan
visited the Polanski residence a t about 1600 and that he had a bottle
of wine with Frykowski, a short conversation with Abigail Folger, and
that his visit was generally directed to Frykowski concerning a delivery
of MDA in the near future. Harrigan departed at approximately 1800
hours. It is also established that Abigail Folger made her regular visit
to Doctor Flicker, her psychiatrist. From conversation with Harrigan, it
is believed that Jay Sebring had been at the Polanski house sometime
during the day.
Mrs. Chapman, the Polanski housekeeper, arrived at the
house 8-8-69, at about 0800. She has been employed as a housekeeper for
the past year and one-half, both at the Cielo address and a previous
leased house on Summit Ridge Drive. Mrs. Chapman went about her regular
household chores.
At about 0830, a Mr. Frank Guerrero arrived at the
house. He was painting a room located at the far north end of the
residence (Addendum 1B) that was to be converted into a nursery. He was
employed for the job by a decorator, Mr. Peter Shore. Guerrero went
about his painting duties in the bedroom.
At 1100 hours, Chapman answered the phone and received
a call from Roman Polanski. The call originated in Europe. Polanski
asked about Chapman's well-being and the general condition of the
household. He asked to have his wife, Sharon, come to the phone. Sharon
and Polanski conversed for some time. The substance of the conversation
was not heard. One or two other telephone calls were received, but were
routine household calls and not noted.
At 1230 hours, two guests arrived at the Polanski
home, Joanna Pettit (Mrs. Alex Cord) and Barbara Lewis. They are
established friends of Sharon's and the general conversation was
concerning Sharon's pregnancy and the expected baby. They had lunch with
Sharon, served by Winifred, and departed about 1530 hours. While Mrs.
Pettit and Lewis were dining, Abigail Folger and Wojiciech Frykowski
returned to the house and conversed with Sharon and her guests (a
general household conversation).
Frank Guerrero (the painter) had spoken to Sharon Tate
and observed the two guests arrive as well as Frykowski and Folger. At
this time Frykowski, Folger, Pettit, Lewis and Polanski were at the
house and he had not noticed any signs of tension or worry expressed by
any of the concerned. He departed about1330 hours.
A t 1400 hours, David Martinez, a gardener, arrived at
the Polanski home. He went about his gardening work and observed
Frykowski, Folger, Polanski, Pettit and Lewis in general conversation
about the house.
At 1500 hours, Joe Vargas (brother of Martinez) also
arrived at the address. As Vargas entered the premises, he observed
Abigail Folger driving out in a yellow Camarro. About five minutes
later, Frykowski departed in a Firebird. While attending to his
gardening duties, Vargas observed Sharon Polanski, dressed in a bikini,
taking a nap in the back bedroom. He saw William Garretson at the guest
house and asked him to do some watering over the weekend as the weather
was extremely hot and dry.
At 1545 hours, Martinez left the location and drove
Chapman to the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Canon Drive. Vargas
remained at the scene and a t 1630 signed for two steamer trunks that
were delivered. Vargas signed for the trunks as he did not wish to
awaken Sharon Polanski.
At 1645, Vargas departed, and to his knowledge, Sharon
Polanski was the only person remaining in the large house, William
Garretson was still in the guest house.
Between 1730 and 1800, Mrs. Terry Kay was backing out
of her driveway a t 9845 Easton Drive. She observed Jay Sebring driving
down the road at that address. Her car blocked his progress and she
noted that Sebring appeared to be in a hurry and did not acknowledge her
in his normal genial way. Another unidentified sports car was following
Sebring and both cars drove away rapidly when she cleared the road.
William Garretson states that he walked from the guest
house to Benedict Canyon Road at 1800 hours and hitchhiked down to a
store on Sunset Boulevard. He purchased a TV dinner and some cigarettes
and returned to the guest house about 2000, walking and hitchhiking as
rides were available. He said he walked from Benedict Canyon up to the
Cielo address. Garretson said that when he returned he did not see
anyone moving around in the Polanski house.
Between 1830 and 1900 hours, Dennis Herst delivered a
lightweight bicycle to the Cielo address. The bike was purchased at his
father's store earlier in the afternoon by Abigail Folger. When Herst
delivered the bicycle, Jay Sebring answered the door. He had a wine
bottle in his hand and it appeared that he had been eating dinner.
Between 2145 and 2200 hours, John DelGaudio, manager
of the El Coyote Restaurant at 7312 Beverly Boulevard, noted Jay
Sebring's name on the waiting list at his restaurant. The slip called
for a party of four. Kathy Palmer, waitress at the El Coyote, recalls
the Sebring party on the waiting list and states that the party waited
in the bar for 15 or 20 minutes, then were served dinner and departed
between 2145 and 2200 hours. Kathy is not acquainted with any of the
party. She was unable to positively identify persons in the party from
photos of Sebring, Frykowski, Folger and Polanski.
A t 2200 hours, Abigail Folger's mother telephoned
Abigail from San Francisco. She called to verify the fact that Abigail
was flying to San Francisco to see her on the 1000 flight on 8-9-69. The
visit was to unite the two for Abigail's birthday. During the telephone
conversation, Abigail sounded a little "high" but did not
express any alarm or anxiety as to her personal safety or the situation
at the Polanski house.
Investigation disclosed that when Frykowski departed
from the Polanski residence at approximately 1505 he drove directly to
the Jay Sebring residence. At that location he picked up a Miss Suzan
Peterson, who had been Jay Sebring's companion for the preceeding night.
Frykowski drove Suzan to the art gallery operated by Kaczanowski a t
9406 Wilshire Boulevard. The purpose of this trip was to obtain a key
for the Woodstock house; Abigail Folger had Frykowski's key at the time.
At the gallery there was a short conversation between
Frylkowski and Kaczanowski and Kaczanowski was invited by Frykowski to
come up to the Polanski residence that night. It was ascertained that
Kaczanowski did not have the key to the Woodstock house in his immediate
possession, but the key was at his girlfriend's, Christina Lerewska's,
house.
While Frykowski and Kaczanowski were conversing at the
gallery, Suzan Peterson was browsing in a dress shop adjacent to and
connected with the gallery. During this time, she conversed with
Christina's mother, and during the conversation it was ascertained that
Suzan Peterson spoke French and that she intimated that she was going to
the Polanski house that night.
Kaczanowski and Suzan were driven to Christina's house
by Frykowski. The key to the Woodstock house was obtained from Christina
and Kaczanowski was returned to the gallery.
Peterson and Frykowski went to the Woodstock house. As
they entered the house, Frykowski obtained the mail, among which was a
music album. They played the album and looked around the house,
Frykowski explaining to Suzan that Kaczanowski was an artist but not a
businessman and there were some disparaging statements made by Frykowski
about Kaczanowski as to the key to the house not being readily
available. He then drove Suzan to her residence on Horn Street in
Hollywood and Frykowski departed.
Suzan had a tentative appointment to call Sebring at
1900 hours, but after Frykowski deposited her at the Horn address, she
became lonesome or impatient, called a cab, was taken to the Versailles
apartments on Hollywood Boulevard and kept company with a Mr. Rick
Steven. Suzan engaged in some sort of a domestic scene and was probably
under the influence of one or more types of drugs and did not awaken
until 2300 hours. At this time she recalled her tentative date with Jay
Sebring and called his residence. She was informed by Amos, the butler,
that Sebring had gone out.
At a time (estimated about midnight) Friday night,
Frykowski called, presumably from the Polanski residence, to
Kaczanowski's art gallery and asked Kaczanowski why he was not up to the
house. Frykowski in the conversation admonished Kaczanowski that he was
spending too much time at the gallery, working too hard, etc.
Kaczanowski declined the second invitation and stayed on at the gallery.
He returned to the Woodstock house at approximately 0300 hours, 8-9-69.
At that time, the key to the house was secreted in its regular hiding
place.
At 2345, as reported by William Garretson, Steve
Parent arrived, unsolicited and unannounced, at the guest house. Parent
had a new clock radio with him and demonstrated it to Garretson. At
approximately 2400 hours, Parent used Garretson's telephone to place a
call. Parent told Garretson that he had to meet a friend down on Santa
Monica Boulevard. Parent picked up his radio and departed from the guest
house at approximately 0015 hours, 8-9-69.
Between 0430 and 0500 hours, Steven B. Shannen,
deliveryman for the Times newspaper, delivered the paper to the gate of
the Cielo property. As he approached the gate he noticed that there was
a wire down and draped across the gate. He observed the yellow bug light
on the north side of the garage to be on. He also stated that on
Wednesday, August 6, at about the same time of day, he had noted a white
Dodge Dart or Rambler sedan parked on the west side of Cielo just
outside the gate. He was not sure of the make of the vehicle, but stated
that it did have black-wall tires.
The housekeeper, Winifred Chapman, arrived from her
home to the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Canon Drive at
approximately 0800 on 8-9-69. She saw a male acquaintance,
"Jerry", last name unknown, and asked him to drive her to the
Polanski residence as she was a little late for work. She arrived at the
front gate of the Cielo address at approximately 0830. Upon her arrival
she noticed an electrical wire hanging loosely on the ground going from
the telephone pole near the push button for the gate onto the Cielo
property and hanging across the gate. She pressed the electric button
which operates the gate and entered the driveway. She picked up the
morning newspaper, walked to the garage (Addendum 1A) and turned off the
overhead lights.
She went to the west side of the Polanski home,
service porch entrance, (Addendum 1 B ) and obtained a back door key
which was secreted on a rafter above the door. After opening the door,
she placed the key back on the rafter in its original position. It is
unknown if this door was locked or unlocked, as she did not try the door
without the key. She was concerned over the fact that the wire was down
and was going to check the living room phone to make sure it was
operational. After entering the house, she walked in a southerly
direction through the kitchen and dining room to the entry hall. When
she reached the entry hall, she noted that the front door was wide open.
She also noted two trunks just inside the living room which were not
there when she left the residence on the evening of 8-8-69. She looked
in an easterly direction out the front door and noticed Frykowski's
blood-soaked body lying on the front lawn. She then looked down at the
front porch and entry hall and saw pools of blood and a blood-spattered
yellow towel. She ran from the house, using the same route that she had
taken when entering, toward the gate. As she ran down the driveway, she
noticed Parent's white Ambassador sedan and his apparent lifeless body
inside the car.
Mrs. Chapman ran to the first house west of the
property and rang the doorbell. She did not receive an instant reply and
ran to the second house west of the Cielo property. At this location she
aroused the owner, explained the situation and he called the police.
At 0914 hours, West Los Angeles Units 8L5 and 8L62,
were given a radio call, "Code 2, possible homicide, 10050 Cielo
Drive." Officer W. T. Whisenhunt was assigned to unit 8L62, and
Officer J. J. D e Rosa was assigned to Unit 8L5.
Numerous other patrol officers who will be listed in
Personnel at the Scene portion of this report arrived and assisted. Also
arriving at various intervals in the early stages of the preliminary
investigation and crime scene protection were investigators from West
Los Angeles Detective Division. The following information regarding the
evidence found a t the scene is a condensed opinion of the officers and
detectives from West Los Angeles Patrol and Detective Divisions. At the
time of this report, Homicide Division investigators are in the process
of scheduling a meeting with all personnel at the scene, including
S.I.D. personnel, in an attempt to place the exact sequence of the
events at the time of their arrival and to place the pertinent evidence
in the location that it was in at the conclusion of the crime. (For
statements of first officers on scene, see Addendum 3.)
upon entering the gate to the Cielo property, officers
observed telephone wires down, crossing Cielo diagonally and hanging
over the gate separating Cielo Drive from the Polanski property.
The officers proceeded onto the Polanski property and
found Steven Parent in the front seat of his Ambassador sedan. The car
lights were off; the engine was cool and not running. The ignition
switch was in a vertical, or off position. The gearshift selector was in
a horizontal position in second gear; the doors were closed and the
driver's window was down. None of the officers noticed the wrist watch
which was lying on the back seat of the vehicle; however, this is
probably just an oversight as it was there when investigators from
Homicide Division arrived.
The patrol officers continued toward the main house
using various methods and routes in gaining entry to the main house. The
officers found the remaining four victims in the positions as described
in the resume portion of this report. Two large trunks were in the
living room near the north wall (Addendum 1B). The trunks were just
inside the living room to the left, or south of the entry way. The
trunks were parallel with the north wall of the living room with the
east end of the west trunk sitting on top of the west edge of the east
trunk. A blood stain was found on each of the trunks. (This was blood
type O.) The stain runs from left to right from the upper trunk to the
lower trunk and appeared to be from the same drop. They continued from
upper trunk to lower trunk in a direct path. A pair of horn-rimmed eye
glasses were just east of the east edge of the lower trunk. The glasses
were on the floor, glass down, ear frames up, top portion of the frame
to the west. Two wooden pieces of gun grips were found near a dining
room chair which was located against the east wall of the living room,
just north of a living room desk (Addendum 1B).
These grips were first observed either on the
flagstone entryway or on the wooden portion of the floor at the north
end of the living room under the archway which separates the entryway
from the living room. They were just northeast of the trunks.
The grips were next observed under the chair in the
living room. They were apparently kicked under the chair by one of the
original officers on the scene; however, no one is copping out. When the
two pieces were placed together they formed the right portion of a gun
grip with the exception that one very small piece was broken and
missing. This small piece was found by Officer Granado, S.I.D., on the
front porch just north of the front door. Blood type O was found on the
grips.
The lights inside the house were out with the
exception of the desk light in the living room which was on and the hall
light which leads to south bedrooms. There was no music or other sounds
from the house. Whisenhunt, DeRosa and Officer R. E. Burbridge, unit
8U5, heard noises emanating at the rear of the property near the guest
house (Addendum 1C). The officers heard the sound of barking dogs and
heard a male voice state, "Be quiet." The officers entered the
rear house via the front entrance and observed William Garretson in the
living room of the house. He was placed under arrest and transported to
West Los Angeles Detective Division.
When Homicide investigating officers arrived, they
noticed only one wire down, which is not a telephone wire but the wire
which has been previously described as a communications wire from the
Polanski home to the electric gate-opening device.
Continuing through the gate, investigating officers
discovered blood smears on the housing for the electric button which
opens the gate from inside the Polanski property. This has been
identified as blood type O.
The officers continued onto the property and observed
a white Ambassador, two-door sedan, MPK 308, angle-parked in the center
of the driveway (Addendum 1A ). The front wheels were turned at an
extreme angle to the left, as if the driver had intended to exit via the
above-described gate. Steven Parent was observed as described in the
resume portion of this report. The lights were off; the engine was cool;
the ignition switch was in the off, or vertical position, and the keys
were in the switch. The gearshift indicator was in second gear; the
doors were closed and the driver's window was down. A wrist watch with a
broken band was lying on the rear seat, left side, approximately 6
inches from the left arm rest.
Officers continued in a southeasterly direction toward
the garage area of the property. Two lights located on the north side of
the garage were not on. Officers noted that the split-rail fence which
runs to the north of the garage area was broken, and that scrape marks
appeared, on the curb directly in front of the split-rail fence. The
scrape marks and the break in the split-rail fence appeared fresh. A
search of the undercarriage of Parent's car revealed similar scrape
marks and concrete transfer. The rear bumper of the car also showed
white paint transfer similar to that as on the split-rail fence.
Officers continued onto the property and observed the
four remaining victims as previously described in the resume portion of
this report. The following pools of blood, blood spots, and blood
splatters were noted. Blood type and sub group will be noted when known.
As the officers approached the front porch, using the walk (Addendum 1B)
they noted the following stains: On the left side of the walk,
approximately 4 feet east of the porch, they noted the bloody print of a
shoe heel. Continuing toward the porch, three bloody footprints were
noted. All four of these print s are blood type O and indicated the
person was moving east from the porch. Continuing onto the porch in a
westerly direction, two bloody barefoot prints are noted. Both of these
prints are blood type O and are also pointing in an easterly direction.
At the time of this report, Scientific Investigation Division is
attempting to further identify these prints with persons at the scene.
The results of their progress will be noted in future reports.
Just after stepping onto the porch looking to the
north, approximately 6 inches south of the north edge of the porch, a
large pool of blood, type O-MN, was found. Continuing in a westerly
direction toward the front door, officers noted another large pool of
blood on the porch approximately 6 inches east of the east wall of the
house at the left edge of the threshold. This blood is type O-M.
Continuing into the entry hall, various blood stains were noted in the
hall and near the base of a large block wall which separates the entry
hall from the living room. These blood spots were identified as O-M.
Two trunks were observed in the same position as
described in an earlier portion of this report by the first officers on
the scene. No glasses were observed, however, as described by original
officers. The broken gun grips were observed in the position described
by first officers on the scene and previously described in this report.
Continuing into the living room area of the house, the
pools of blood beneath the bodies of Sebring and Polanski have been
typed as O. Blood on the rope has also been typed as O. Investigating
officers did not observe blood on this rope other than that portion
which was in contact with the bodies. Officers observed a yellow towel
with blood splatters near the hearth in the living room. This has been
typed as O blood.
Continuing in a southerly direction inside the house,
officers observed blood spots in front of a chair which was located in
the living room just to the right of the hallway which leads to the
bedroom area of the house. These blood spots have been identified as
blood type B. Directly to the rear of this chair on the wall and door
jamb are several splatters of blood which appear to have come from
someone shaking a hand or arm quite rapidly in a downward motion while
seated in the chair. These have been identified as blood type B.
As you enter the hallway, a blood drop is noted in the
center of the hallway at the threshold. Continuing in a southerly
direction in the hallway, another blood drop is noted and has been
identified as blood type B. Continuing in a southerly direction through
the master bedroom to the rear exit of that room, another blood drop is
found just inside the door. This is also identified as blood type B.
Blood smears were found on the louvered shutters inside the door as if
someone had been trying to open the door. These smears were blood type
B. Continuing out the door towards the area of the pool, two additional
blood spots were noted, one on the sidewalk and one on a green garden
hose, which was on the lawn. Both of these spots were identified as
blood type B. Continuing in an easterly direction from where the last
two blood drops were noted, the body of Abigail Folger was found (see
Addendum 1B).
Going in a northwesterly direction from where
Frykowski's body was found (Addendum 1B ) two large blood spots were
found. Scientific Investigation Division has been unable to type this
blood; however, it is the opinion of the investigating officers that
these two large pools of blood are areas where Frykowski lay for moments
in his attempt to escape from his assailants. It is possible that a
struggle with the assailants occurred at these two locations. Just west
of one of these blood Spots, a purple scarf was found. This scarf was
drenched with blood, which has been identified as blood type O. This
concludes the blood spots that investigating officers observed when they
arrived.
REPORT ON STRANGE SOUNDS, GUNSHOTS, INDICATIONS OF
VIOLENCE, RELATED BY PERSONS WHO WERE IN HEARING DISTANCE OF THE
POLANSKI RESIDENCE ON THE NIGHT OF 8-8-69, AND THE MORNING OF 8-9-69:
(0030 hours to 0100 hours)
Mr. and Mrs. Seymour Kott, temporary residence at
10170 Cielo Drive, a house located approximately 100 yards north of the
Polanski house. The Kotts entertained guests at their house until
approximately 2400 hours (midnight). The guests departed and the Kotts
retired. Between 0030 and 0100 hours, Mrs. Kott, while in her bedroom
located at the northeast corner of the house, heard what she described
as four shots fired in close sequence. In her opinion, the shots
originated east of her home. No action was taken regarding the shots at
this time. A t 0730 hours, 8-9-69, Mr. Kott stepped out of his house and
observed the phone line draped over the fence and the Polanski gate. He
also noted that the outside lights were on.
(0100 hours t o 0130 hours)
Mr. Tim Ireland, one of five counselors supervising a
sleepout for 70 male and female children a t the Westlake School for
Girls, located at 700 North Faring Road which is down the hill and
directly south of the Polanski residence. Beteen 0100 and 0130 Mr.
Ireland was awake, alert and watching the sleeping children. He heard a
male voice from what seemed to him a long distance away to the north or
northeast shout, "Oh, God, no. Stop. Stop. Oh, God, no,
don't." Ireland said that the scream persisted for approximately 10
seconds. The male voice was clear and he did not notice an accent. The
screams so disturbed Ireland that he checked the area of the sleeping
children on foot, then went inside the school and informed Mr. Rich
Sparks of the occurrence and requested permission to check the area
himself in his own personal vehicle. Permission was granted, and Ireland
drove southbound on Benedict Canyon Road to Sunset Boulevard, westbound
to Beverly Glenn, and northbound back to the Westlake school. He did not
observe anything unusual on his circuitus trip, but did hear numerous
dogs barking in the immediate vicinity of the school. Mr. Ireland then
checked the other counselors at the school but all had been sleeping and
were not aware of the incident. Mr. Ireland does not recall hearing any
sounds that he believes to be gunshots. (In investigating officers'
opinion, this is an accurate report of the incident, made by a competent
person, alert and in full command of his faculties.)
(0200 hours to 0300 hours)
Mr. Emmett Steele, 9951 Beverly Grove Drive. Mr.
Steele maintains two trained hunting dogs at his residence. These dogs
do not generally respond to ordinary traffic or house noises in the
vicinity, but become highly excited and bark and howl when they hear
gunshots. On 8-9-69, between 0200 and 0300, both dogs became highly
excited, barking and howling. Mr. Steele went out and calmed the dogs,
checked the area but could see nothing. Mr. Steele did not hear any
gunshots himself, but w a s concerned about a lavender Volkswagen-type
dunebuggy, XSP 193, and a black foreign-type motorcycle, possibly a
Triumph, that have been seen and reported driving about the area for the
past six weeks in the late night and early morning hours. These two
vehicles have not been connected with the incident at this time.
(Approximately 0330 hours)
Mr. Marceau Mounton, an employee of the Bel Air
Patrol, works 2130 to 0530. Mr . Mounton was on a fixed post assignment
at 10231 Charing Cross on 8-8/9-69, from 2130 t o 0530. At approximately
0330, Mr. Mounton heard what he first believed to be three backfires,
but on reflection, felt the reports were too sharp and short to be
backfires. He said the reports were two close together, and then one
shortly thereafter. Mr. Mounton was positioned on the south side of the
residence and could not be sure from what direction the sound came. This
location is approximately 1/4 mile south of the location of occurrence
and below the mouth of the canyon. When Mr. Mounton went off duty a t
0530 he mentioned this occurrence to Mr. Karlson (1-3), the desk man at
Bel Air Patrol.
(0400 hours)
At 0400, Mr . Bullington was stopped in front of 2175
Summit Ridge Drive. He was parked facing northbound with the driver's
window down and heard what he believed to be three shots. They sounded
as if they came from some distance to the west. The sequence was one
shot, a 2/3-second pause, another shot, a 4/5-second pause, and a final
shot. Mr. Bullington contacted Bel Air Patrol by radio (Mr. Karlson,
1-3, states time was 0411) and reported this.
(0411 hours)
Mr. Karlson was on duty on 8-9-69, and at 0411 was
contacted by radio by patrolman Bullington of Bel Air Patrol who had
stopped a t 2175 Summit Ridge. Officer Bullington reported to Karlton he
had heard three shots spaced several seconds apart. Karlton called West
Los Angeles desk a t 0412 and reported this to an unknown officer who
stated, "I hope we don't have a murder. We just had a
woman-screaming call in that area."
(0400 hours)
Carlos Gill, 9955 Beverly Grove Drive, Carlos is a
Mexican national, 14 years of age. He had been asleep, awoke at 2300
hours and began writing letters in his room. From his bedroom located on
the opposite side of Benedict Canyon, it is possible to look directly
across the canyon a t approximately the same elevation and view the
front of the Polanski residence. The distance is estimated as
approximately 1/4 to 1/2 mile. At approximately 0400 hours he heard the
sound of voices arguing. He believed it was three or four persons. The
argument increased in volume and became more heated. It lasted
approximately one minute and then subsided abruptly. He indicated that
in his opinion the sounds originated from the direction of the Polanski
residence. At the time of the occurrence he stood by the window in his
lighted room and looked in that direction but could see nothing. He said
that the severity of the argument so frightened him that he went
immediately to bed after closing the window.
From the location of the victims, the physical
evidence, which includes the various blood stains, gun grips, and the
rope tied around Sebring's and Polanski's necks, several theories exist
as to the reason for the murder. Possible reasons for the murder are as
follows:
1. A narcotics party in which one or two of the
participants freaked out and in their wild frenzy killed one of the
victims and then killed the remaining victims in order to protect
himself against identification.
2. Another theory is that one or two persons
delivering or collecting for a delivery of various types and amounts
of narcotics was turned away empty handed, due to either bad
narcotics, or the lack of cash funds.
3. There is also the possibility that the persons
delivering the narcotics decided to take both the money and the
narcotics after killing the victims.
4. An additional theory is that one or more suspects
went to the Polanski home to commit a residential robbery. Their
attempt was met with resistance, and after killing one person they
decided to kill all of the persons on the property in order to avoid
detection.
5. An additional theory exists that the suspect or
suspects were hired killers sent there by an adversary of either one
or all of the four logical victims (Folger, Frykowski, Sebring,
Polanski) and that Parent was killed simply to avoid detection.
From the physical evidence and positions of the
bodies, investigating officers feel that regardless of the theory as to
the motive of the killing, the sequence of events occurred in the
following manner. Investigating officers feel that at least two suspects
are involved due to the fact that the weapons used to kill the victims
were a .22-caliber revolver and probably a bayonet. The suspects entered
the property via the front gate by pushing the electronic gate-opening
device which is kept unlocked. They proceeded in a southeasterly
direction down the driveway and to the front walk of the Polanski home.
As they arrived at the front porch, they were either met by or summoned
by Sebring, Polanski and Frykowski.
If we assume they went there to transact some type of
business, the possibility exists that they were invited into the house.
Due to the clothing that Folger was wearing (long nightgown) and the
fact that her bed appeared to have been slept in, investigating officers
are assuming that Folger was in her bedroom either asleep or reading. An
argument between the suspects and Polanski, Sebring and Frykowski
probably aroused Folger. Prior to her getting out of bed and walking
from her bedroom, up the hall into the living room, it is the
investigating officers' opinion that Frykowski, Polanski and Sebring
accompanied one of the suspects to the front door. Folger entered the
front room and was either struck or stabbed by one of the suspects. The
other suspect remained with the main group armed with the .22-caliber
revolver.
Folger was probably attacked near the entrance to the
hall which leads to the two bedrooms at the south end of the house.
Folger is blood type B, and this is consistent with the B blood that is
located at this position. Folger r a n south down the hall in an attempt
to escape from her assailant. She arrived at the rear door of the master
bedroom, and in her attempt to open the door her blood is smeared on the
louvered portion of the door. After getting the door open, she exited
and ran screaming in an easterly direction toward the split rail fence
(Addendum 1B). She was ultimately caught and killed by her assailant.
Frykowski, who was being held at the front door by the
suspect armed with the .22-caliber revolver, ran in a southeasterly
direction from the front porch in an effort to assist Folger as she is
screaming for help prior to being killed. The suspect fired one round,
striking Frykowski in the back. Frykowski fell and this would be the
first large blood spot southeast of the porch. Frykowski continued in
his attempt to assist Folger and fell again accounting for the second
large blood spot. He regained his feet and continued in a southeasterly
direction where he was met by the killer of Folger, who is wielding the
knife in a frenzy. He attacks and kills Frykowski, stabbing him numerous
times in the side as he lay mortally wounded.
At sometime prior to Frykowski being killed, possibly
in one of the above-described positions (large blood spots), one of the
assailants struck Frykowski with either the butt or the barrel of a
weapon, indicated by the numerous lacerations on the scalp.
The two suspects now turn their attention to Sebring
and Polanski who are still on the front porch. It is possible that the
suspects rendered Sebring and Polanski unconscious before going after
Frykowski. This would be consistent with the fact that Sebring had a
large abrasion to the bridge of his nose and when discovered had a large
hematoma swelling and bruising of the left eye. The large pool of blood
which is described as on the front porch, approximately 6.inches south
of the north edge of the porch is Sebring's type, O-MN. Directly
north-east and just off of the porch is a small hedge which was broken
down as if someone had lain there for some time. The large pool of blood
described as 6 inches east of the east wall of the house and even with
the door jamb to the front door is type O-M, the same as Sharon
Polanski's. From the amount of blood there it would appear that she
remained there for at least minutes prior to movement. This also holds
true for Sebring. Sebring and Polanski were then ordered or taken into
the living room. At this point, it is conjecture as to whether they were
tied with the rope before being murdered or after the murder. The rope
was undoubtedly brought there by the killers as no one can place this
rope at the Polanski home prior to the murder, nor has this type of rope
been seen at either Sebring's home or in his car. Although he has been
known to tie women up by the arms at his home and then whip them prior
to some type of sex act, he has always used small sash rope.
The killers, after taking Polanski and Sebring into
the living room, stabbed them to death at this point. Sebring was shot
in the abdominal region sometime during the assault. Investigating
officers are unable to determine whether this occurred on the front
porch or after he was taken into the living room.
Before leaving the location, one of the killers took
some type of cloth, wiped it across the blood on the front porch,
probably from that which had been described as Sharon Polanski' s blood,
type O-M, and printed the letters, "PIG" on the lower portion
of the front door.
The killers then left the location without ransacking
the house. Paper money was in plain view throughout the house and
Sebring had a wrist watch on his wrist, in plain view, valued at $1,500.
Two theories exist as to when Parent, the fifth
victim, was killed. The possibility exists that as the killers entered
the property, Parent observed them as he was leaving the Garretson
residence. The killers, in order to avoid detection, shot Parent before
he could leave. Parent also had one defense wound in his left hand. This
was a long laceration to the palm between the ring and the little
finger, which severed the tendons. It is investigating officers' opinion
that Parent would not have been killed simply because he saw someone
enter the gate, unless the assailants went there with the express
purpose of killing everyone in the Polanski home,
The second theory is that as Parent left the Garretson
residence he observed either part or all of the above-described crimes.
He ran for his car, which was parked somewhere in the paved parking area
of the property. He entered the car, backed it up at a high rate of
speed, struck the curb and knocked down the split-rail fence previously
described. He then turned the car in a westerly direction, and in an
attempt to evade his pursuers turned the car at an odd angle toward the
gate. At this point, he was caught and killed.
If we assume that the killers went there to kill all
the persons at the Polanski home, then we can also assume that they cut
the phone wires and all other means of communications before entering
the property. If we assume that they went there merely to conduct some
type of business, such as a narcotics sale, or to enjoy a narcotics
party and the killing occurred, then investigators are of the opinion
that the suspects cut the wires in an effort to gain as much time as
possible before the crimes were discovered.
Most of the polygraph keys which could have been used
were released to the press by patrol personnel prior to investigating
officers' arrival on the scene, or at least without their knowledge.
Four polygraph keys that have not been released are as
follows:
1. The weapon used to inflict the stab wounds was
probably a bayonet. The blade portion of the bayonet was extremely
sharp on both sides for at least 3 inches with one side becoming flat
at this point, having a blade length of at least 6 inches. There was
undoubtedly a guard on the weapon; however, there were no signs on the
bodies that the blade ever went in far enough for the guard to come in
contact with the body.
2. The revolver used was a caliber 22, Hi-standard,
"Double Nine" "Longhorn". The weapon has a 9
1/2-inch barrel and is 15 inches in overall length. It has a blue
steel finish and a 9-shot capacity. It has walnut grips. The right
grip from this weapon was broken at the scene and is in police
custody. The weapon has a catalogue number of 9399.
3. A white, nylon type, three strand rope (G28) with
an overall length of 43 feet, 8 inches, was used to tie Sebring and
Polanski. The rope was double looped around Polanski's neck and draped
over a beam in the living room with two overhand knots on the standing
end on either side of the beam. The first knot was 5 feet from the
end, and the second knot was 16 feet, 4 inches from the end. A frayed
area was between the two knots, 11 feet, 8 inches from the end. The
rope around Sebring had a double loop, with the second loop going into
an overhand knot around the neck.
4. A pair of horn-rimmed prescription type reading
glasses, found next to the trunk between the living room and the
entrance archway. To date the owner has not been identified and it is
presumed that the glasses were lost by a suspect.

VICTIMS
Sharon Marie Polanski, 10050 Cielo Drive, female
Caucasian, 26 years, 5-3, 135, hazel eyes and blond hair. Victim's
occupation is actress and for the last two years had been married to
Roman Polanski, director-producer for Paramount Studios. At the time of
her death, she was eight months pregnant with her first child. Prior to
her marriage to Roman Polanski, she was engaged to one of the other
victims, Thomas John Sebring.
Thomas John Sebring, 9810 Easton Drive, Los Angeles,
male Caucasian, 35 years of age, 5-6 , 120 pounds, black hair, brown
eyes. The victim was a hair stylist and had a corporation known as
Sebring International with a state-wide distributorship featuring male
cosmetics, hair sprays, etc. He was unmarried and had been engaged to
the previous victim, Sharon (Tate) Polanski. He was considered a lady's
man and took numerous women to his residence in the Hollywood Hills. He
would tie the women up with a small sash cord and if they agreed, would
whip them, after which he would undress them and have sexual relations.
He was a well-known user of cocaine, staying high on the drug most of
the time.
Sebring put on a big front, living in a large house
with a butler, an expensive foreign car and at times hosting expensive
parties. It is believed that all of these actions were to impress
potential backers of his corporation in his financial worth, while in
fact his capital resources were very limited.
Abigail Anne Folger, female Caucasian, 25, 5-5, 120,
hazel eyes, brown hair, residence since the first of April, 10050 Cielo
Drive. Prior to that she lived at 2774 Woodstock Road. She is an heiress
to the Folger coffee fortune and has a financial statement of somewhere
in the neighborhood of $500,000. She has been living in a common-law
relationship with another of the victims, Wojiciech Frykowski, for the
past two years. Folger supported Frykowski, paying for the rent at the
Woodstock address and supplying him with money for his drug habit which
included marijuana, hashish, mescalene, MDA and cocaine. Folger also
used these drugs in large quantities.
Folger saw her psychiatrist, Marvin Flicker, M.D., for
one hour a day, five days a week. Her standing appointment was 1630 each
day. She discussed her use of drugs and her disappointment with
Frykowski. Doctor Flicker stated that he thought she was almost ready to
leave Frykowski. She was building up enough nerve in her own mind to go
it alone. This, of course, is Doctor Flicker's opinion. In the past
year, Abigail had been an active participant in Negro social work. She
sponsored and attended rallies in the Watts area and is reported to have
been an active participant in civil rights activities in the San
Francisco bay area. This contention is borne out by several civil rights
placards found at the Cielo address.
Wojiciech Frykowski, male Caucasian, 32, 5-0, 165,
blond hair, blue eyes. Frykowski was a writer; however, he has been
unable to sell any of his work in the past years. He has been living in
a common-law relationship with Abigail Folger at both 2774 Woodstock
Road, prior to April of 1969, and since April of 1969, at 10050 Cielo
Drive. Frykowski was a native of Poland and had lived in England,
France, New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles. He met Abigail Folger
in New York and accompanied her to San Francisco and then to Los
Angeles. He had no means of support and lived off of Folgers' fortune.
He used cocaine, mescaline, LSD, marijuana, hashish and MDA in large
amounts. He was an extrovert and gave invitations to almost everyone he
met to come visit him at his residence. Narcotic parties were the order
of the day, and the parties continued on into the early morning hours.
Frykowski was a boyhood friend of Roman Polanski. The
two of them growing up together in a small town in Poland. Frykowski's
father financed Polanski's first film and Roman felt indebted to him.
This was the reason Roman Polanski invited him to stay at his home
during his and Sharon's trip to England.
Steven Earl Parent, male Caucasian, 18 years, 6-0,
175, red hair, brown eyes. He lived with his parents at 11214 East
Bryant Road, El Monte. His main occupation was that of a delivery boy
for Valley City Plumbing Supply Company in Rosemead, California. He also
worked part time at night for Jonas Miller Stereo, 8719 Wilshire
Boulevard. On Friday morning, 8-8-69, he told his mother to have a clean
change of clothes for him when he came home for lunch from his job at
the plumbing supply company. He told her he was going to work at his
second job and didn't want to come home after work before
going to Hollywood for his second job. Parent has an arrest record as a
juvenile for burglary. The chief object of attack during the five
burglaries he was caught at was electronic equipment. He served two
years in the California Youth Authority program. He was described as
having both sadistic and homosexual tendencies by a probation officer.

SUSPECTS
GARRETSON, William Etson, male Caucasian, 20, 5-7,
154, brown hair and brown eyes, LA 974 580-G
Garretson was arrested in the guest house at 10050
Cielo Drive. He gave vague, unrealistic answers to questions about his
observations and recollections of events occurring in the Polanski house
between 8-8-69, 0200 hours and 8-9-69, 0930 hours. He was questioned at
West Los Angeles jail at approximately 1600 hours, 8-9-69, by
investigators. He was advised of his rights and agreed to speak freely
without counsel but gave stuperous and non responsive answers to
pertinent questions. He retained the services of attorney Barry Tarlow,
shortly after the first unproductive interview. He was transported to
Parker Center where investigating officers, in the presence of attorney
Tarlow, had another fruitless but short interview with the suspect. At
this time, it was agreed that Garretson would submit to a polygraph
examination on Monday, August 10, 1969, with his attorney representing
him at the interview.
On 8-10-69, at 1600 hours, in the company of his
attorney and upon his attorney's advice, Garretson submitted to a
lengthy polygraph examination conducted by Lieutenant Burdick, S.I.D.
Polygraph Section. At the time of this examination, Garretson was more
responsive to questions, but gave vague and unsatisfactory responses on
questions pertinent to the crime that were asked him at the polygraph
interview, prior to the questions being presented to him on the machine.
In the opinion of Lieutenant Burdick, Garretson's
answers were generally considered truthful; however, there was an
underlying belief by Burdick and the investigating officers that due to
some narcotics sedation or other mental incapacity, the subject was not
sensitive to all of the monitoring devices employed on the machine.
Investigating officers went back to the crime scene
and reviewed the physical and acoustical aspects of the scene as related
to what Garretson, who claimed to have been awake all night in the guest
house writing letters, claimed he heard or saw.
In the opinion of the investigating officers and by
scientific research by S.I.D., it is highly unlikely that Garretson was
not aware of the screams, gunshots and other turmoil that would result
from a multiple homicide such as took place in his near proximity. These
findings, however, did not absolutely preclude the fact that Garretson
did not hear or see any of the events connected with the homicide.
Garretson related to the investigators that Parent had
come to the guest house at approximately 2345, 8-8-69; that he displayed
a clock radio to Garretson. They talked about it a short time and that
Garretson made a telephone call from the guest house at midnight and
then said to Garretson that he was going to meet a friend a t Santa
Monica Boulevard and Doheny; that Parent left the guest house
approximately 0015 hours, 8-9-69, and at that time was last seen alive
by Garretson. The telephone call was verified, There was a clock radio
in the passenger side of Parent's car when he was killed.
Winifred Chapman, the housekeeper at the Polanski
house, stated that Garretson made very infrequent contacts with any of
the people or their guests occupying the Polanski house, and that he was
retained by Mr. Autabelli, the owner of the property, to care for his
dogs and that he had complete use of the guest house while the owner was
in Europe. Garretson confirmed this statement.
It is the investigators' opinion that Garretson was
under the residual effects of some type of narcotic during the entire
time he was in police custody. It is possible, but not probable, that
Garretson had no real knowledge of the crime. Garretson was released
from custody on 8-11-69 at 1400 hours. His attorney was present, with
television and newspaper coverage in abundance. In all probability, this
newspaper coverage was prearranged by Mr. Tarlow.
Garretson's arrest record shows Sheriff's Office, Los
Angeles, California, 12-6-68, Possession of Marijuana, no dispo
indicated; however, Garretson said he had been arrested in Monterey Park
and was given three years probation upon conviction of the charge.
Garretson also admits a 1967 conviction of Contributing to the
Delinquency of a Minor in Lancaster, Ohio. He received a suspended
sentence.
As Sebring, Frykowski and Folger were confirmed
narcotics users on a daily basis, the following mentioned suspects were
checked and interviewed by members of the Los Angeles Police Department
as they are either confirmed narcotics users and peddlers, or have the
reputation as suppliers of narcotics to the particular group of
entertainers and the like who have habitually associated with Frykowski
and Folger and to a lesser extent the Polanskis.
The following persons were suspect in this case;
however, they have been eliminated at the time of this report:
1. Thomas Michael Harrigan, Toronto, Canada, Police
No. FPS 2958 82-A, male Caucasian, 27 years, 5-10, 163, brown hair and
brown eyes. This suspect has one arrest in Canada for Illegal
Possession of Narcotics. The disposition indicates that he was
discharged with no apparent filing. The suspect is a native of
Toronto, Canada and a user and smuggler of drugs to the United States.
2. William J. Doyle, Toronto, Canada, No. FPS 230
203-A, male Caucasian, 27, 5-8, 180, brown hair and brown eyes. This
suspect has one arrest for Uttering Prescription for Narcotic Drug,
two charges. Disposition indicates that he was sentenced to 12 months,
case suspended, case appealed. The appeal was allowed, the conviction
was squashed and the verdict of acquittal entered. Doyle is a native
of Toronto, Canada and a user and smuggler of drugs to the United
States.
3. Charles Tacot, male Caucasian, 38 years, 6-2,
160, blond hair, balding, blue eyes. This suspect has no known police
record, no permanent address in Los Angeles. Returned from Jamaica in
order to talk with investigating officers. He is a producer, director
of underground films and is apparently not too successful at this. He
is an admitted narcotics user, using such drugs as cocaine and
marijuana.
4. Harrison Pickens Dawson, male Caucasian, 27
years, 5-9, 150 brown hair, brown eyes. No permanent Los Angeles
address, travels between Los Angeles, New York, Massachusetts and
Virginia. He is known user of various narcotics including heroin,
cocaine, methardine, mescaline, hashish, marijuana, LSD, and MDA.
The above four persons traveled in the same circles
and knew Wojiciech Frykowski and Abigail Folger. Harrigan and Doyle
supplied Frykowski and Folger with some cocaine and mescaline and
probably most all of the MDA they used. MDA is a synthetic drug
manufactured in Toronto, Canada.
Tacot and Harrigan have been interviewed at great
length by investigating, officers and voluntarily took a polygraph
examination administered by Lieutenant Earl Deemer, Rampart Detective
Division. Investigating officers and Deemer were satisfied that Tacot
and Harrigan had nothing to do with the homicides.
At the time of this report, Deemer is in the process
of interviewing Dawson in Virginia and Doyle in Toronto, Canada.
Preliminary indications are that neither Dawson or Doyle are involved in
the homicides. Polygraph examinations are being administered.
A complete report and polygraph examination results
will be a part of future progress reports.
WEAPONS
After a close examination of the victim's wounds and
conferring with the medical examiners that performed the post mortums,
examinations on the bodies, Dr. Nuguchi, Dr. Henry, and Dr. Herrera,
investigating officers have come to the following conclusions, #1 the
knife that inflicted the stab wounds was probably a bayonet. The bayonet
being extremely sharp for at least a distance of three inches. One edge
becoming flat at that point. The blade length is at least six inches
long and there is probably a guard on the weapon. Although the blade
entered the most of the bodies six inches no imprint from the guard was
left on the bodies.
#2, Parent, Frywkoski and Sebring were shot with a
caliber 22 long rifle bullet. The probable weapon used was a high
standard "Double nine long horn" revolver. It has a
9-1/2" barrel and a 15" overall length. It has a nine shot
capacity and has a blue steel finish, the catalogue number is 9399. The
manufacturer has been contacted and states this weapon has been in
production since February of 1967. He has contacted thirty-three west
coast jobbers for sale numbers and sales information on a l l 9399
models. A complete list of all 9399 models sold in Los Angeles since
1967 has been received and is included as addendum number 5 in this
report.
Special Investigations Unit, Administrative Detective
Bur, is in the process of checking all model 9399 sold within a driving
radius of two hours of Los Angeles. The results of this investigation
will be included in future progress reports.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Toronto, Canada
were contacted and a request was made for a similar check on all model
9399 weapons sold in Canada. Fifteen weapons have been sold throughout
all of Canada and are included in addendum 6 in this report. The results
of their investigation as to the actual whereabouts of these weapons at
this time will be listed in future progress reports.
#3, The white nylon type three strand rope (G28)
wrapped around victims Sebring's and Polanski's necks could have been
used to control or limit their activities. There is no evidence however,
to indicate this rope was used to choke or otherwise harm these victims.
Efforts are being made by SID to identify the manufacturer and
distributor of this rope. Progress on their attempts will be reported in
future progress reports.
VEHICLES
