On October 24, 1980, Beasley and Stoeckley flew to California. While in the air, Stoeckley once again “admitted that she was in the MacDonald house on the night of the murders.”

She periodically dozed off during the flight and would wake up with a scared look in her eyes. Each time Beasley asked what was the matter and she stated that she could not get the MacDonald murders off her mind.3

And more details were offered up voluntarily. It is hard know what to make of any of it. Stoeckley had spent a day looking at photographs with Segal, Zillioux, Underhill et al. Was it possible, now, to distinguish her genuine memories from what had been enhanced or changed by repeated conversations with attorneys, prosecutors, FBI agents, detectives, acquaintances?

She began to cry and Beasley told her if it would make her feel any better to go ahead and talk about it. She then started repeating the words “rocking horse, rocking horse.” She said she was in one of the children’s rooms, but she didn’t know which one and there was a rocking horse there. Beasley asked her if she tried to ride it and she stated she didn’t try to ride it but that she sort of squatted down on it but it didn’t work because a spring was broken on it. She repeated over and over again about the rocking horse and hid her face saying that she just couldn’t talk about it. She also told Beasley that she was at the couch where MacDonald was sleeping and she did have a candle and the candle was lit. Beasley asked her who was with her and she was reluctant to say, although she did mention Greg Mitchell and a person known as Wizard.
