For me, the most interesting new information in O'Neill's book is contained in the chapter on Reeve Whitson. According to O'Neill's sources, Whitson was a CIA counterinsurgency specialist posing as a hippie who
- did some sort of surveillance of the house at Cielo Drive
- knew Polanski and his circle well
- appears to have been at the crime scene before the murders were discovered (which gives weight to the rumour that Manson and an unidentified man visited the house after the massacre had taken place which seems unlikely but would help to explain some inconsistencies of the crime scene)
- was very much involved in the investigation and cooperated in this as an "amateur sleuth" with Bugliosi as well as with Sharon Tate's father
- was a friend of Curtis Le May and at least an acquaintance of Otto Skorzeny and his wife
I very much suspect Whitson to have been an agent of Operation CHAOS -- just like Oswald Le Winter, who became involved in the Manson case later, and Ronald Stark of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love. For Le Winter, see: https://deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/sho...#post58257
