Bloody footprints and one shoe heel print found on walkway which leads onto front porch and into the entry of Polanski residence, type 0.

These blood spots are also identified in Addendums 1 and 1B of this report. Additional blood smears were found on the electric button and housing inside the gate separating the Polanski property from Cielo Drive, blood type O. (This button and housing is depicted in Addendum 1 and 1A.)

Entrance to the Polanski property by car can be gained from only one entrance. This entrance is located at the northwestern edge of the property and is protected by a wrought iron fence and gate. The gate is 12 feet wide and is in the center portion of the fence. It is 6 ' high and electrically controlled from both inside the property and outside. The outside electric button and housing has a key slot which can be locked, thus preventing the button when pushed from activating the gate. At the time of investigating officers' arrival, this lock was in an open position and the button activated the gate. The gate button and housing inside the Polanski property operate in a similar manner to the outside device.

After entering the gate for an area of approximately 130 feet there is paved parking area and a two-story, three-car garage.  There is a steep hill to the south of the entrance and a cliff to the north. (For a detailed description of this area, see Addendum 1 and 1A.)

There are four entrances to the Polanski residence; No. 1 is the front door which is entered from the east and opens into the entry hall which leads to the dining room or to the living room on the south. The second entry is from the service area porch which leads into the service area and then into the kitchen. It is located on the west side of the house, northern portion. The third entrance is located on the west side of the house near the center and opens into the living room.  The fourth entrance is located at the south end of the house and opens into the master bedroom. (The house and entrances are depicted in Addendum 1 and 1B.)

There are four entrances into the guest house; No. 1 is located on the east side of the house and is reached by walking through a screened porch area and then into the living room. The second entry is located on the north side of the house and leads into a pantry and kitchen. The third entrance is located on the west side of the house and leads into a large room where several dogs are kept. The fourth entrance is located on the south end of the house and opens into an enclosed patio area. (The house and entrances are depicted in Addendum 1 and 1C of this report.)

There were no indications of ransacking noted in either the Polanski home or the guest house.
