$2 Million Left by Slain Woman
Friday, August 22nd, 1969
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 22 – A 38-year-old woman, killed in a way that reminded police of the deaths of actress Sharon Tate and four other persons, left an estate of about $2 million.
Rosemary La Bianca, and her husband Leno, 44, a grocer, were found stabbed in their hillside Los Feliz area home Aug. 10, a day after the Tate killings in Bel Air 10 miles away.
As in the earlier killings, a victim was hooded and words were scrawled in blood near the bodies.
That would be the same as nearly 13 million in today’s money (2014).
