Bill Garretson…More Unplugged Than Usual? Part One
We always say Rest In Peace for the Dead…but I wonder sometimes if it’s the Living who need the peace…
Such has been the on and off fate of William “Bill” Eston Garretson, now aged 62, the only surviving witness of the Tate-Labianca two nights of Manson horror.
Researchers have often cited the LAPD as having conducted shoddy investigative procedures in this case but by and large, for that era, for the technology available and for the fact that this set of crimes basically eclipsed all others in Los Angeles as the most gruesome ever perpetrated on persons of affluence in that town, I basically give the police a pass. My feelings are that we should be lucky we have the evidence we do have in this case for it could have been much less and much more compromised…
But the one investigative tool the detectives never chose to use, that to this day I believe could have been one of the most initially useful, was to submit Bill Garretson to hypnosis. When the investigators realized that for whateve…

Glad to be of some service to you!
We have all come to this story from varying points of views and experiences but we all seem to stick with the story for the same reason...to answer the "Why" question, I think...
All murders have the need for this question to be answered but the "Why?" for this set of events and these people locked in an era that was anything but the norm begs for a lifetimes work of searching, doesn't it?
We at TLB2 may not get any closer than the rest in uncovering the "Why?" but we sure as Hell are stupid enough to try. For us, maybe it's not the goal of gleaning a full answer but more living through the journey on the way to the answer which is ultimately important.
Wanna take a ride with us desertflower? OF COURSE you do! (wink, wink)
We're super glad to have you! :D

Hold on...the ride could get bumpy ya know! (wink, wink)
Squeaky is in upstate New York. Besides the initial press releases from that town, everything has been dead quiet. She DID however have a few minutes phone call from Charlie from Corcoran, where she just plainly said she did NOT want to talk to him.
I've not as yet covered Squeaky on here, desertflower, as I've not covered allot of the players...kind of going through each one by one, in depth, so have nothing to offer you at this point.
I DO have a post on her past partner-in-crime, Sandy, if you so desire. Here is the link to that one>>>http://2ndofficialtate-labiancamurdersblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/forgiving-sandra-goodsome-are-better-it.html
