The Gang Saw Holmes On Their Way To Rob Eddie Nash
Just a cool bit of info regarding the robbery of Eddie Nash. David Lind told a similar version of events. He says that Holmes held his raised fist out the window and shouted “Go Get Him!”.
I wish this part would have been in the movie. It would have been awesome!
******************************************
Dona Pegita is the street shown in the picture below…and the one they had just turned onto when McCourt mentions seeing Holmes in his Malibu coming down the hill, the gang going up in the stolen Ford Granada. You would take a left at the yellow arrow, then go another 150 yards and Nash’s cul de sac “Dona Lola Place” is down a bit on the right. They got impatient waiting for slow poke Holmes to come back from unlocking the back door and so they headed that way on their own to commit the robbery. It was about 8 AM.
Tracy McCourt: So we left the house on Wonderland Avenue, and we passed John on our way to Nash’s. He was driving down the hill and we were going up the hill. We stopped and he told us, “Get him!” He went like, “Get him!” So we went to the house and got him.
“Go Get Him!” LOL

I never understood this aspect of the crime. They hit the guy at 8 am. The time when little kids are off school and playing in the street and the time when the milkman and paperboy show up. The time when people leave to go to work in a residential neighborhood. Eddie’s house was in a pretty nice neighborhood but not grand by any means. 8 am is just such a crazy time to do a hit. If it was 5 or 6 am, I could see that. 8?…you got people comin’ and goin’ in broad daylight. Of course, according to Lind, Launius did a hit of H beforehand. Maybe that’s why. They were some strung out people, man. I wonder what their women saw in them. I mean, they were not nice and probably smelled pretty bad to boot. 🙂

I don’t think they planned it very well. You are right, earlier would have been better. But, they got away initially, so maybe with all the morning rush hour stuff they (and the lone gunshot) went unnoticed.
