FIRST HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION
PROGRESS REPORT
DR 69-059 593

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.

At 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.
