Martin had never called her before.. Marty added, “There was blood all over and it was real gory and
it was a mess.” Martin also said it was in “all the papers” including the [San Francisco] Chronicle, page
8 of section B”, and it was “on all the news.” Marty said he'd taken Marilyn to a bar, and that's where
he'd been when the incident had occurred. According to Andrews, Martin had 6 kids from a prior
marriage, the oldest being a daughter of 12 and the youngest 6-7. Most of the kids were in foster
homes. Marty was a cook by trade, and had been one in the military. Martin “made comments about
how bad the [Viet Nam] war was, and then would turn around and talk about how neat it was.” Joan
