The Profile of the Cielo Dr. killers
The word "PIG" at the Tate house might have been written by a black drug dealer, as the LAPD believed. But at the LaBiancas' the killers had also scrawled "RISE" and "HELTER SKELTER." What did those words have to do with drugs? Rather, they seemed to suggest the hand of a terrorist or revolutionary group.
For advice, I turned to Dr. Frederick Hacker, the psychiatrist who ... was one of the world's leading authority on terrorism, its roots and its rites. .... It occurred to me that an expert such as Dr. Hacker, from his vast experience with terrorist groups, might discover an insight into these strange and violent murders. ....
Ten days later he filed his report, and it was a stunner. Dr. Hacker, from his distinctive experience, saw a possible connection between the two crimes much more sinister than anyone could have imagined. These are some excerpts from his report:
"It must be assumed that the [actual perpetrator's] helpers ... were in a state of mind compatible with planning and at least a limited amount of anticipation of difficulties and premeditation (see cutting of wires, complicated rope arrangement.. keeping the victims controlled while the slaying went on, etc.) ....
"The bizarre features of the multiple crime certainly suggest severe psychopathology of the killers... (the possibility than an interested party might have hired impulsively sadistic killers cannot be excluded).
"It is conceivable that the personality of the actual killer was quite different from those of his helpers and that... one party.. carried out the preparations and precautionary measures while the other party or parties actually perpetrated the crimes..."
Thus, weeks before Charles Manson was found, Dr. Hacker predicted the existence of a man not even present at the scenes of the crimes, who had sent his "impulsively sadistic killers" to do his murdering. Hacker's report also went on to say that "the criminals might be looked for among fringe pseudo-religious groups"--a prophetic description of the cult of which Manson was the pseudogod.
Finally, in what I considered to be one of his most brilliant insights, Dr. Hacker said that the criminals might be a group of former associates of the victims who believed themselves "rejected, thwarted, cheated by one or more of the victims and who took revenge in this fashion."
Doctors claim speed makes people behave as though they are crazy. "When somebody has taken speed, there is much more tolerance for inflicting and accepting violence," claims Frederick Hacker, head of the Hacker Clinic in Beverly Hills. "Last year I was talking at a conference about the national nightmare resulting from drug abuses, and this murder is the kind of thing I was talking about."
...On November 21, 1968, Dr. Hacker was assigned as a psychiatrist to Donald Defreeze, (later) known as Cinque Mtume and “Field Marshal Cinque” of the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA). Dr. Hacker was also a close adviser to Randolph Hearst during the 1974 SLA “CIA Psyop” kidnapping of Patty Hearst.

Reassessing the Blood Evidence at 10050 Cielo Drive
Several months ago, George Stimson and I collaborated on a video analyzing the blood evidence from the murders at 10050 Cielo drive. Our goal was simple. Challenge the long-standing claim that the blood on the porch floor belonged to Jay Sebring and Sharon Tate-Polanski, and explore the possibility that Voytek Frykowski had been mistyped. Contrary that what people assume, I didn't take any theory to George. It emerged from many conversations where we both kept circling back to the same conclusion: something about the blood typing simply didn't add up. In all reality, George deserves the credit for everything in the video he put out, because this is a thought that has been circulating in his mind for years, and when we spoke about it many times, it kept coming back to the typing not making any sense. It was his long hours of research, and I helped him with things medically that he wasn't aware of. Those that do know me know I am a Nurse Practitioner, such as blood types exist differently in different locations. For anyone that wants to refute that, then you don't understand the simple fact as to why we have blood drives, and I also pointed out to him major inconsistencies in the reports.
You can watch the video here:
After our video came out, TabOrFresca (I hope I got that correct) made a call in to Twilight Garage, and it was weird, not in a bad way, it was like TF was in on the conversations George and I were having behind the scenes.
That video can be seen here:
To boil this down, one of the most glaring inconsistencies is this:
If Voytek Frykowski was type B, where is his blood? In over 50 years, no participant in the murders of Jay Sebring, Sharon Tate-Polanski, Steven Parent, Abigail Folger, and Voytek Frykowski haver ever placed Tate-Polanski and Sebing on the porch. In contrast, statements and testimony from Susan Atkins, Tex Watson, and Linda Kasabian consistently place Voytek there.
This aligns with the initial police interpretation in the First Tate Homicide Progress Report which describes two large untyped pools of blood near Frykowski's attempted escape, suggesting that the paused or struggled in those two locations. Near one of those blood pools, investigators noted a purple scarf as identified as Type O.
Near Frykowski... (credit to Michelle for finding it in this photo IF that is it. looks to be. But it's not visible in the other shots of his body including the bodies being covered and the police on the lawn.)
The color changes from purple to violet. That doesn't mean much concerning the evidence. G43 is listed as purple ribbons and or a fabric assumed to be from the scarf. it was found in or near the entrance way. Type O-MN. You can find this in testimony too.

Keypoints of the article are;
"Courtroom observers were left with another puzzle from Granada's testimony. He identified a larger pool of blood found on the front walk as being the same type as Mr. Sebring's O-MN. The other three victims, Abigail Folger, a coffee heiress, Voytek Frykowski, a polish writer and producer, and Steven Parent, an 18-year old friend of Miss Tate's housekeeper (though William was not the housekeeper of the main house, thought I would add that) all had blood types B-MN. Mrs. Linda Kasabian, the states principal witness testified previously that she had seen Mr. Frykowski stagger, bleeding, from the front door and fall in the area of the blood stained walk. Mrs. Kasabian said that Charles D. Watson pounced on him there and continued to beat and stab him. Mr. Frykowski's body was found on the lawn.
This is consistent with Atkins earliest of statements and other statements made there after. For example, in her 12/1/1969 interview with Richard Caballero and Caruso, she states, "I don't remember what exactly happened. I remember seeing Frykowski going outside, he was yelling for his life. he was screaming really loud and I said, Tex, help me, do something. Tex went over and hit him 5 or 6 times over the head with the butt of the gun (blood type O-MN), broke the gun handle, the gun wouldn't work anymore, and proceeded to stab him. While he was stabbing the man was still screaming, I'm surprised nobody heard anything. And he was pretty much half dead on the porch, that's why all the blood was there I imagine.
But you may say, type B was found on the gun? That is true. But lets look at recollection.
Atkins described Watson stabbing Folger inside the residence before returning outside to continue attacking Frykowski. This sequence provides a logical explanation. Folger's blood could have transfered to the gun via Watson's hands.
The blood smears on Sharon Tate-Polanski can easily be explained through statement's Watson made to Bill Boyd. I made this analysis from the John Hurst article who heard some of the "Tex Watson Tapes"
Hurst wrote " As he describes the shooting and stabbing slaughter of five victims, Watson's voice on the tape remains emotionless. His tone is almost disinterested as he tells of murdering Miss Tate, who was eight months pregnant. "I went back inside," he says on the tape recording. " and she was the only one...left that was alive, the Tate girl. She was pleading to me, pleading to me and pleading to me, but I didn't have a moment of hesitation. I took a knife and just slit a big slit across her face, you know, it was all lighting up to me" he continues "just like a big acid trip, all these colors and everything, and I just kept cutting her and carving on the body and started stabbing her in the chest from here up."
"How many times did you stab her?" asks Boyd
"I'd say maybe 15 cuts and stabs" is the matter of fact reply.

Conclusion
A reassessment of the evidence indicates the most coherent explanation, and the most logical one, is that Voytek Frykowski's blood type was incorrectly recorded during the initial investigation. Such and error would reconcile the presence of Type O blood along the path attributed to Frykowski, resolve contradictions between testimony and forensic findings, and account for long-standing anomalies noted by both the investigators, observers, testimony and evidence.
Witness testimony and statements made afterwards consistently places Frykowski on the porch and the lawn. The physical blood patterns align with this. Type O blood is present along the path. No credible evidence places Sebring or Tate-Polanski on the porch. This falls apart on the onset of this theory. Clothing evidence does not support the hypothesis that Sebring was the source of the blood on the porch. When all of these are placed together, Frykowski may have been mislabeled/mistyped. The scarf may not have been central to the prosecution, but it could be a likely key to understanding Frykowski's final moments, and revealing at how critical evidence may have been mishandled or misunderstood in the chaos of the investigation.
