Cielo Drive
10050 Cielo Drive. The house has since been torn down.
Inside the house, Sharon and Jay Sebring were tied together around the necks with a white cord that stretched over a high ceiling beam between them. Sebring had been shot in the face and was stabbed seven times. Sharon was stabbed sixteen times in the back and chest. As Sharon was being stabbed, she reportedly begged the murderers to spare the life of her unborn child. But her pleas were met with only cold, calloused hatred as Atkins would scream back to her, "I don't care about you or your baby." Hmmm... Such nice people. Scrawled in Sharon's blood on the outside of the front door was the word "pig." An obvious reference to the white establishment that Charles Manson clearly thought was represented by Sharon Tate.
Alone in the caretaker's quarters separate from the main house - was William Garretson, the caretaker of the estate who not only failed to hear the screams because of the loud music blaring on his stereo, be was also spared the carnage of that night. Garretson was initially arrested for questioning but was later released. Garretson had briefly met with Steve Parent, the man who was killed near the security gate as he exited, to discuss the sale of a radio.
