Bugliosi ignored the cut wires at the Sebring residence. He also ignored another "cut wire" at the Cielo house. Researcher Josh Casey has posted this:
Pageant, Nov. 1969 issue
Ironically, the house where Sharon and her friends were found murdered had been wired to the Bel Air Patrol, but the service had been discontinued.
It is possible the disaster might have been averted if the service had
been "on," because an alarm is set off when power or telephone lines are
cut.
"the service had been discontinued."
....uh... by who? Sharon, Roman, or Rudy? Or was it at the Bel Air Security Patrol end?
Under what circumstances?
When?
If the service had been discontinued a year before, perhaps by Altobelli
in a cost-cutting move, it would have been unfortunate, but not
especially significant. But what if the service had been 'discontinued'
a week before, or the night before? Then it might have been very significant indeed.
(It
reminds me of the security guard at the estate adjoining the LaBianca
residence who was supposed to be there that night but was inexplicably
absent.)
You'd
think a little tidbit like this would have been considered worth
investigating, but this is the first I've ever heard of this. Now the
source might be a little sketchy, but it makes sense. Logically
speaking, the exact level of security the Polanskis were entitled to,
given what they were paying, would have been of interest to detectives.
But as far as I know, this topic has never come up anywhere.
The Bel Air Security Patrol got a full pass on this, imo. No harsh spotlight was ever shined their way. But they had a lot to answer for.
Chaos, by Tom O'Neill, pg200
On Doris Tate: "Like her husband, she'd conducted her own investigation through the years, becoming convinced that the Cielo house was under surveillance by some type of law enforcement at the time of the murders."
What would make a more perfect cover for the surveillors than as a member of the Security Patrol?
