Bryan O'Byrne found Andy Prine and brought him in。 Chapman and Wahlke braced him first。 The interview began at 7：45 A。M。 and ended at 8：54。
Prine was 27。 He said he met Karyn last December。 She got a gig on his show。 They started dating。 He got Karyn pregnant last summer。 Mark and Marcia Goddard took her to Tj。 She got an abortion there。
Chapman asked Prine where they stood lately。 Prine said it was 〃minimized。〃 He didn't want to marry Karyn。 He wanted to date other chicks。 Karyn was into their thing more than he was。
Wahlke asked Prine if his buddies ever came on to Karyn。 Prine said； 〃No。〃 Wahlke asked Prine if Karyn would fight off a rape…o。 Prine said； 〃Yes。〃 Wahlke asked Prine if Karyn slept around。 Prine said； 〃No。〃
Wahlke asked Prine if Karyn had any enemies。 Prine said some nut sent them both hate notes。
It started last summer。 The notes were made up from magazine clips。 The nut placed them by his door and Karyn's。 The nut knew when they were home and when they were out。
Karyn got a dozen dirty phone calls。 He got some weird hangups。 He took the notes to the LAPD。 They told him not to sweat it。 Stuff like that happened to minor celebrities。
Wahlke asked Prine when he last saw Karyn。 Prine said they went to Palm Springs last weekend。 Earl Holliman and his chick went with them。 Earl was on 〃Wide Country〃。
The Kennedy snuff bummed them all out。 They decided to hit the Springs and catch some rays。 They left Friday night and got back Sunday night。 He dropped Karyn off at 8：oo P。M。 He never saw her again。

Chapman asked Rubin if he had sex with Karyn。 Rubin said； 〃No。〃 Chapman asked Rubin how long he knew her。 Rubin said； 〃Five months。〃
Chapman asked Rubin about the Karyn…Andy thing。 Rubin said Karyn loved Andy more than Andy loved her。 Chapman asked Rubin about Wednesday night。 Rubin laid it out。
He walked over to Karyn's pad。 He got there around 8：30。 They talked for an hour。 Karyn got antsy and went for a walk。 She ran into Bob Hathaway。 She brought him back up。 She served cake and coffee。 They all watched TV。
Karyn mentioned the baby she found。 Chapman asked Rubin if he thought she made up the story。 Rubin said； 〃Possibly。〃
Karyn dozed with two guys right there。 He walked her into the bedroom and watched her get into bed。 He watched TV with Bob。 They split。 They walked down to the Raincheck Room。 They spent fifteen or twenty minutes there。 They walked to Bob's car and drove to Bob and Bill's place。 They got there about 11 ：30。 Bill was asleep。 They watched a flick on TV Andy Prine showed up a half…hour later。 They gabbed until 3：oo A。M。 Andy lived next door。 He dropped by a lot。 Long bullshit sessions were mon。 Andy said he went to a rodeo。 He went to Grassari's Bar right after。
Rubin's statement contradicted Prine's。 Prine said he took a chick to a movie。
Wahlke asked Rubin if Andy had a bad temper。 Rubin said； 〃He is usually very calm。〃 Wahlke asked Rubin if he ever saw Andy perform violent acts。 Rubin said； 〃No。〃 Wahlke asked Rubin if he'd take a polygraph test。 Rubin said； 〃Yes。〃
Chapman and Wahlke braced Bob Hathaway。 The interview began at 10：15 A。M。 and ended at 10：34。

Karyn was restless and tired。 That baby…on…the…doorstep thing had her wheels spinning。
Wahlke asked Hathaway if he ever hit on Karyn。 Hathaway said； 〃Never。〃 Wahlke asked him about Karyn and Andy。 Hathaway said they were on…again； off…again。
He confirmed Rubin：
Andy said he went to a rodeo
