The fifth victim was Steven Earl Parent, 18, of suburban El Monte. A man, 37, identified as Voyteck Frykowski, who police said was a friend of Miss Tate’s producer-husband, Roman Polanski. Abigail Folger, 25, a business associate of Sebring’s and a member of the Folger Coffee Co. Jay Sebring, 25, Miss Tate’s former boyfriend and operator of hair stylist salons in Hollywood, San Francisco, New York sand London. Sharon Tate, 26, a pregnant honey-blond actress who played sexy parts in movies, including “Valley of the Dolls,” and slapstick comedy on television’s “Beverly Hillbillies.” More on that in a future post.A 19-year-old, bare-chested caretaker was arrested in a guest cottage at the mansion and booked on suspicion of murder. The PIG door may or may not be in Trent Reznor’s possession. I felt sick and, like some of the YouTube viewers, “hid in the comment section.” Of course I’d seen a few of the crime scene photos before, including the photos of the door and the refrigerator, but not all of the photos in this video. Even after hearing about the murders for all these years, I wasn’t prepared to see these all these photos. You can hear people describe how the victims died on podcasts, or read about it in books or on websites, but the photos tell their own story. These photos are real – not Photoshopped, not part of a reenactment.
You hear about El Coyote, George Spahn, dune buggies in the desert, the conspiracy theories, LSD orgies, and the glamorization of these events.īut when you see the autopsy photos, the endless speculation and all the background characters fade away.
Yet for all the articles, videos, and social media shares about this case, you rarely hear people mention the hard evidence and the autopsy photos. The photos are widely available now because of social media and the internet. It’ not a bunch of people talking anymore, or some fictionalized version that exists on a movie screen or in your imagination.
I guess didn’t really want to see them, because that’s when the reality hits you.
(It’s easier to ignore photos when they’re in a book than when they’re a click away on the internet.) I’d avoided looking at most of the Tate-LaBianca autopsy photos for decades, probably because you had to find a book, magazine, or broadcast TV show displaying them in pre-internet days.
