The drugs that Dareff supplied to the people at the Tate house might have been tainted with a lethargy-inducing ingredient. This would explain why they failed to take action at the sound of Parent's car crashing into the parking lot fence or when four shots were fired into Parent, killing him.
Yet what of the spotless William Garretson in the guesthouse, who avoided the carnage?
William, you should be following this thread at Education Forum JFK Assassination Debate, re: the Manson book Chaos by Thomas O'Neill. I have tried to alert readers there to your thread here at DPF.

Thanks for notifying me of the other thread. I have been out of town for the last few weeks. I see that I have some catching up to do.
As for Garretson, I cannot see how he could be an innocent bystander. Most researchers, including me, cannot believe he failed to hear what was going on outside. Garretson was in charge of the dogs, including a Weimariner noted for his viciousness as an attack dog. That the dog was not out prowling around must be due to the fact that Garretson had something to do with keeping him contained. Garretson had been the dogkeeper since March 1969, prior to Manson's visit to the Cielo house on March 23.
Garretson mentioned on his polygraph test on August 10 a "Patty Montgomery" who stayed with him for a while at the guest house. "Patty Montgomery" was an alias for Patricia Krenwinkel. The dogs probably knew her and got used to her presence. And of course, Garretson would have gotten to know the Manson Family. Patricia was probably his controller.
I saw on the other thread that Joseph McBride posted a transcript of Mae Brussell's October 13, 1971 show on Manson. I fully agree with her when she said "...the murder of Sharon Tate and the other persons in her home was a political massacre. ... It had to be planned well in advance of when it happened."
When Manson visited Altobelli at Cielo Drive four months before the murders, he noticed the aggressiveness of the Weimariner. For his Helter Skelter plan to succeed, he must have had some assurance that the dogs would not be a problem. Thus the dogkeeper had to be in on the plot.
