of actress Sharon Tate and her
four guests at a secluded

The sole suspect in the Tate
murders, William Garretson,

i, Detectives today leaned tow
t ard the theory the stabbings

I left with their heads covered by
hoods and cords knotted around
i their necks. Police revealed
! Monday the same method was
! used to scrawl "death to pigs”
■ in the La Bianca case and
“pig” in the Tate case.
The murderer apparently
dipped the heel of his hand in
the blood of his victims and
smeared the words in letters
from eight inches to one foot
high.
A new suspect in the Tate
case was still sought by police
today. He was an acquaintance
of Garretson and officers said
he lived in the Southern
California area and had not
been home since the murders,
an indication that his house was
staked out.
Last Friday night, another of
Garretson’s acquaintances,
Steve Parent, 18, dropped by.
Garretson didn’t accompany
Parent to his car when he left
about 11:30 p.m.
