The witnesses showed up. A stenographer transcribed their statements verbatim.<br />

Bryan O'Byrne found Andy Prine and brought him in. Chapman and Wahlke braced him first. The<br />

interview began at 7:45 A.M. and ended at 8:54.<br />

Prine was 27. He said he met Karyn last December. She got a gig on his show. They started dating. He<br />

got Karyn pregnant last summer. Mark and Marcia Goddard took her to Tj. She got an abortion there.<br />

Chapman asked Prine where they stood lately. Prine said it was "minimized." He didn't want to marry<br />

Karyn. He wanted to date other chicks. Karyn was into their thing more than he was.<br />

Wahlke asked Prine if his buddies ever came on to Karyn. Prine said, "No." Wahlke asked Prine if<br />

Karyn would fight off a rape-o. Prine said, "Yes." Wahlke asked Prine if Karyn slept around. Prine said,<br />

"No."<br />

Wahlke asked Prine if Karyn had any enemies. Prine said some nut sent them both hate notes.<br />

It started last summer. The notes were made up from magazine clips. The nut placed them by his door<br />

and Karyn's. The nut knew when they were home and when they were out.<br />

Karyn got a dozen dirty phone calls. He got some weird hangups. He took the notes to the LAPD. They<br />

told him not to sweat it. Stuff like that happened to minor celebrities.<br />

Wahlke asked Prine when he last saw Karyn. Prine said they went to Palm Springs last weekend. Earl<br />

Holliman and his chick went with them. Earl was on Wide Country.<br />

The Kennedy snuff bummed them all out. They decided to hit the Springs and catch some rays. They left<br />

Friday night and got back Sunday night. He dropped Karyn off at 8:oo P.M. He never saw her again.<br />

Wahlke asked Prine when he last talked to Karyn. He said they talked twice on Wednesday--i 1/2 7. -<br />

She called him about 6:oo P.M. They discussed the baby that someone dumped on her doorstep. He<br />

went out that night. He took an actress chick to a movie. They saw A Streetcar Named Desire. They<br />

went out for a drink. He dropped her off at her pad. He went home and called Karyn. It was 11:30 or<br />

12:00. Karyn said the cops took the baby away.<br />

Wahlke asked Prine if he caused Karyn's death. Prine said, "No." Wahlke asked him if he'd take a<br />

polygraph test. Prine said, "Yes."<br />

Chapman and Wahlke braced Edward Rubin. The interview began at 9:07 A.M. and ended at 10:03.<br />

Rubin was a "free-lance writer." He shared a pad in Beverly Hills. He used to live next door to Andy<br />

Prine. Bill Mamches and Bob Hathaway shared the pad now.<br />

Chapman asked Rubin if he had sex with Karyn. Rubin said, "No." Chapman asked Rubin how long he<br />

knew her. Rubin said, "Five months."<br />

Chapman asked Rubin about the Karyn-Andy thing. Rubin said Karyn loved Andy more than Andy<br />

loved her. Chapman asked Rubin about Wednesday night. Rubin laid it out.<br />
