The reason for this...

It's a story that will never die but one that will live on, flourishing in the minds of generations to come. 
 The brutal murders of seven innocent people by a group of drug using, fame hungry reprobates right in the heart of Hollywood over one hot weekend in August, 1969 will forever be known as The Tate-LaBianca Murders
 On August 9th, 1969, actress Sharon Tate and four others were stabbed and shot to death in one of the most well documented and heinous home invasions of the 20th century. The following night, miles away, in an area not as grand, Leno and Rosemary LaBianca encountered the same group of murderous hippies, taking the death toll to seven.
 Much has been written about the victims, maybe not as much as what has been written about their murderers over the last 40 something years, but one victim has until now, remained an enigma to writers, bloggers and commentators. 
 Until now. 
  This blog aims to present Abigail Folger, not as a dead body, bloody and lifeless, lying in the yard of Cielo Drive, but as a human being, a woman born into wealth who tried to make the world a better place while she was in it. Let's not put her in a box in the wall and have only the sad reminders of her death be the only visible knowledge the general public has of her.
