Owen Davis never returned for the glasses (no deposit paid). The doctor has been unable to locate Davis as he did not teach at the school in DelMar. After consulting with investigators, Doctor Sloan, who is the president of the San Diego County Optometric Society, distributed 230 letters that he had mailed out himself providing virtually 100 percent of the optometrists in the county with the information on Owen Davis. At the time of this report, investigators are checking approximately six other phone calls made by optometrists to this office regarding glass prescriptions similar to the concerned eye glasses. On 10-25-69, this Department made a national news release concerning the eye glasses found at the crime scene. On 9-5-69, Mr. Mike Gavin, National Broadcasting Company, news room, Burbank, was interviewed regarding Charles Tacot. He told investigators that he had first talked with Tacot via telephone sometime in July of this year. On July 9, 1969, he had lunch with Tacot at the Hamburger Hamlet in Hollywood. They had discussed Tacot making some short film strips regarding the use of marijuana. There was no mention of Jamaica or any large amounts of money to be paid to Tacot. There was no mention of any long documentaries to be produced by Tacot. There was no mention of NBC financing in any way Tacot's film making. Tacot was very smooth and polished according to Gavin. He passed on names during the conversation such as George Emerick, the head treasury agent at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City (now deceased). He also mentioned Larry Katz, another treasury agent in San Diego. Tacot stated to Gavin that he was a producer for Jutaric Films Incorporated. Although Tacot inferred he had made films in Mexico and was very familiar with the making of films concerning marijuana, he at no time actually produced any film strips or any other items which would prove that he indeed had made any movies. The meeting between the two men concluded on the note that upon Tacot's return Gavin would be willing to look at any short strips of film available and that Gavin might be willing to purchase approximately 45 seconds of footage. Gavin would be authorized to purchase this material for as much as $300 maximum. On 9-8-69, an appointment was made by Kate Saxton, aka Baird, Pegrum, and Marilyn Kirk to talk with Sergeant Calkins at Parker Center at 1630 hours. Both women arrived at approximately 1900 and were interviewed in room 318. At the beginning of the interview it was noted that Kate Baird had been drinking to the point where she was slurring her words to a noticeable extent. Kate Baird, with the help of Marilyn Kirk, related the following information: Kate Baird is from England and had been an actress in that country for a number of years. She was married to a male Negro by the name of Harry Fredericks Patterson Baird, an American, born May 12, |
