John Fahey reported meeting Reg Witter at the Ambassador Hotel on June 1, 1968, but did not locate him. Instead, he observed two men entering the hotel, one described as having a light build with dark hair and the other taller with a round or stocky build.

Fahey then entered the coffee shop and noticed a woman who introduced herself as Virginia, claiming to be from New York. However, she later stated she was from Virginia and eventually changed her story again. Fahey believed she might be involved in a group that used radios for communication.

As they left the hotel, Fahey took Coast Highway 101 towards Oxnard, noticing a dark blue Volkswagen sedan following them. The car's driver appeared to lift his hand inside the parking area, and Fahey decided to leave, departing north towards Oxnard.

Fahey described the woman as having dirty blonde hair, a fair complexion, and a very good build. He also recalled her wearing a dress of unknown material with an "A" skirt and carrying a tan purse.

The men who entered the coffee shop were described as follows: one had a light build with dark hair, while the other was taller with a round or stocky build. The man driving the VW automobile was described as having a dark grey well-cut hair, straight back, and early forties appearance.

Fahey refused to buy the woman a drink and eventually dropped her off at the Ambassador Hotel on Wishbone around 7:30 p.m. He observed her walking towards the hotel and then drove away.

The woman did not ask Fahey for money and had offered to pay for breakfast. She displayed a wallet with a thick sheaf of bills in it.

Fahey recalled that the woman mentioned they used radios to communicate between themselves, but nothing further was said about this. He began thinking that she belonged to a group or organization.

The woman's behavior seemed suspicious to Fahey, and he got the feeling she was not from the area. He decided to return her to Los Angeles but only got involved for two or three days.

Fahey described the men who entered the coffee shop as having a light build with dark hair, one of whom was described as being 50-51 inches tall with a medium cut and curly thick dark hair. The other man was taller with a round or stocky build.

The woman's clothing appeared foreign or different from what was worn locally.
