FBI Vault: Cielo Drive Murders

Dozens of pages related to the 1969 Cielo Drive murders have been released by the FBI. With redactions and repetitive pages, the records reveal London intelligence informed the FBI one week after Tate’s murder that Tate’s husband, Roman Polanski, should be expecting a shipment of narcotics hidden in household goods via the New Orleans port. The London office stated murder victim Frykowski was also involved in this trafficking, as was another individual who should have been at the Cielo Drive house that fateful night but did not appear. It seems this individual turned snitch for the FBI, fled to Mexico after the murders where FBI Mexico City interviewed them, and his or her name is redacted on all documents. But in a review of documents from 1977, all of the informants are described as armed and dangerous. Who was the last guest? It couldn’t have been Steve Mcqueen, who while armed and potentially dangerous, attended Sebring’s funeral and didn’t run down to Mexico that August. Why didn’t the press run with the narcotics motive since Manson showed up at the Cielo Drive house a few days before the murders, and potentially wanted to scare Polanski’s guests by hooding and strangling them for a drug deal gone bad? In 1977 Manson was pissed at the media for skewing the facts and called them bloodsuckers, you can read his letters and much more in the FBI Vault.
