FIRST HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION
PROGRESS REPORT
DR 69-059 593

If we assume they went there to transact some type of business, the possibility exists that they were invited into the house. Due to the clothing that Folger was wearing (long nightgown) and the fact that her bed appeared to have been slept in, investigating officers are assuming that Folger was in her bedroom either asleep or reading. An argument between the suspects and Polanski, Sebring and Frykowski probably aroused Folger. Prior to her getting out of bed and walking from her bedroom, up the hall into the living room, it is the investigating officers' opinion that Frykowski, Polanski and Sebring accompanied one of the suspects to the front door. Folger entered the front room and was either struck or stabbed by one of the suspects. The other suspect remained with the main group armed with the .22-caliber revolver.

Folger was probably attacked near the entrance to the hall which leads to the two bedrooms at the south end of the house. Folger is blood type B, and this is consistent with the B blood that is located at this position. Folger r a n south down the hall in an attempt to escape from her assailant. She arrived at the rear door of the master bedroom, and in her attempt to open the door her blood is smeared on the louvered portion of the door. After getting the door open, she exited and ran screaming in an easterly direction toward the split rail fence (Addendum 1B). She was ultimately caught and killed by her assailant.

Frykowski, who was being held at the front door by the suspect armed with the .22-caliber revolver, ran in a southeasterly direction from the front porch in an effort to assist Folger as she is screaming for help prior to being killed. The suspect fired one round, striking Frykowski in the back. Frykowski fell and this would be the first large blood spot southeast of the porch. Frykowski continued in his attempt to assist Folger and fell again accounting for the second large blood spot. He regained his feet and continued in a southeasterly direction where he was met by the killer of Folger, who is wielding the knife in a frenzy. He attacks and kills Frykowski, stabbing him numerous times in the side as he lay mortally wounded.

At sometime prior to Frykowski being killed, possibly in one of the above-described positions (large blood spots), one of the assailants struck Frykowski with either the butt or the barrel of a weapon, indicated by the numerous lacerations on the scalp.

The two suspects now turn their attention to Sebring and Polanski who are still on the front porch. It is possible that the suspects rendered Sebring and Polanski unconscious before going after Frykowski. This would be consistent with the fact that Sebring had a large abrasion to the bridge of his nose and when discovered had a large hematoma swelling and bruising of the left eye. The large pool of blood which is described as on the front porch, approximately 6.inches south of the north edge of the porch is Sebring's type, O-MN. Directly north-east and just off of the porch is a small hedge which was broken down as if someone had lain there for some time. The large pool of blood
