The Los Angeles "Herald Examiner of August 29, 1969, carried an article entitled "The Tate Case; Friends of Mama Cass Quizzed". This article stated Frykowski's mother and brother departed on August 28, 1969, enroute to Poland; and that the ashes of Frykowski were to be flown via a separate Scandinavian Air Service flight to Lodz, Poland, on August 29, 1969, where they will be placed at St. Josef Cemetery.
