At a little after 8 a.m. on the morning of August 9, 1969, Housekeeper Winifred Chapman approached the grounds of 10,050 C.L.O. Drive.

As she got to the gate, she noticed a loose wire dangling above the control box.

Already late thanks to L.A.'s poor bus system, she was now concerned that the electricity might be out.

But when she pressed the button, the gate swung open as it did every morning. Relieved, she entered the property.

Only a few yards up from the gate, she noticed a white rambler at an oblique angle in the driveway.

Several other vehicles were parked closer to the garage.

Since overnight visitors were a common occurrence at the sprawling estate, she thought nothing of it.

Entering the house through the service porch, Mrs. Chapman picked up the kitchen phone and noticed it was dead.

Wondering if it could be due to the downed wire, she replaced the receiver.

She headed for the living room but was blocked by two large blue steamer trunks that hadn't been there when she'd left work the day before.

They looked as if they'd been knocked over one leaning against the other.

Then she noticed the blood, smeared across the trunks, on the floor nearby, on two towels lying in the living room entryway.

For a moment, she stood there, uncomprehending.

Only now did she realize she hadn't heard a sound since entering the house.

Forcing herself to move, she stepped toward the living room.

Everywhere she looked, there was more blood, on the floor, the rugs, the furniture.

The front door was half open and two red pools spread across the porch.

Beyond, she could see a body sprawled on the front lawn.

Screaming, she ran from the house and down the driveway.

This time she noticed the body of a young man lying sideways across the front seat of the rambler.

She managed to get the gate open and fled to a neighboring house.
