1931, probably in British Guiana. Harry Baird was educated in England and at the present time has no known means of support. According to Kate Saxton, Harry Baird is a close friend of Mohammed Ali and ex-pro football player, Jim Brown. All three of the individuals are active in a black power movement which encompasses both England and the USA. Kate Saxton states she has received numerous severe beatings from her ex-husband prior to their separation and divorce. She came to the United States and is presently living at 1875 Ocean Way, Laguana Beach, with Marilyn Kirk. She is convinced that the homicides were a means of the black power movement in this country to show their force and strength. She states she is afraid for her own safety if it becomes known that she has contacted the police. She has been contacted by a male Caucasian by the name of Otelio DiBolchona, Reverse Runaway Productions, Inc., 9000 Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, (no record), and another male Caucasian by the name of Eldon Shelby Setterholm, DOB 8-20-23, CII 606232, LA 339159, FBI 309 2709, 777 1/2 South Coast Highway, Laguna Beach. Both these individuals have made indirect threats on Kate Saxton's life. She states that Setterholm is a drug salesman for the "jet set" in the Hollywood area.

McCaffrey stated that on August 7, 1969, she had talked to Sebring and he had informed her that he had been burnt on $2,000 worth of bad cocaine. McCaffrey stated that in her opinion Sebring would do almost anything to get back at the person who had burnt him. McCaffrey was arrested on 4-13-69, along with Rostau after two armed men had entered Rostau's apartment at approximately 0600 and tied both Rostau and McCaffrey up and subsequently shot Rostau in the foot.
