LOS ANGELES, Nov. 6 – The maid who discovered the bodies of actress Sharon Tate and four other victims of a mass murder has been located after disappearing 17 days ago, police reported today.

Winifred Chapman, reported missing Oct. 10. A police spokesman said she was found alive and well at an undisclosed location in Southern California Wednesday night.

    This was a horrific time in Winnie life, she was the live in nanny for me, and my siblings at the time of the murders. I remember as a child her screaming in the middle of the night, and her breath smelling like alcohol around that time as a kid, She was the bestest Nanny on the planet, she was like a mother to my siblings and I. Shortly after the murders she disappeared, and we now know she was in protective custody. I remember the media, and detectives banging on our doors and windows, and her telling us to get out of the window, and to lay on the floor, so they wud think no one was home. She was terrified. RIP Winnie Pooh…

    Thank you for replying. Can you confirm the assertion by your sister that Winifred Chapman was put into protective custody? Also, when exactly was Ms. Chapman a maid at your house?
