Los Angeles AP police disclosed that the killer who murdered Sharon Tate and four others last August dropped spectacles indicating he was nearsighted. Detectives found thick lensed tortoise shell glasses near Tate’s body, aiding efforts to identify the killer and link the crime to a suspect with near sightedness and a face close to the glasses’ wearer's.
