He had come onto the Cielo Drive state to visit William Garretson,
Tate's caretaker, who was living in the guesthouse. His hobby was hi-fi
equipment and he wanted to show Garretson a radio he brought with him.
Garretson wasn't interested and Parent left the guesthouse around
midnight. When the police arrived they found him, shot to death, in his
Rambler in the driveway.
