Telephone and electric lines leading to the red, barnlike house had been severed. The word "pig" was scrawled on the front door in blood. Inside, police discovered the body of Polanski's pregnant wife, Actress Sharon Tate, 26. She was clad in a bikini nightgown. A nylon cord, looped around her neck and passed over a beam, linked her body to that of Jay Sebring, 35, who had been her beau before her marriage.

Actually, some are Pinkerton men scanning the ID cards of 17-year-olds, barred by the movie's X rating...
...hospital steward, George Henry Haydon, was an amateur artist and encouraged Dadd further. Dadd dedicated The Fairy Feller's Masterstroke to Haydon, gave it to him before he died at the age of 67 in 1886.
