This poster on a defunct forum claims to have had connections to the case via her dad's friendship with Vince Bugliosi, and posted this re Gibbie:
When Abigail moved to NYC, she did so with the blessing of her father. He was eager to see her begin a career and was hoping that she might also be introduced to another blue-blood, marry, and have little blue-bloods. But we know that Gibbie liked the bad boys and had a few of them as paramours prior to her being introduced to Voytek.
Peter Sr. immediately became suspicious of the new man in his daughter's life, after all he was an immigrant who had only been in the US for a very short time and seemed to have neither ambition nor money.
What many do not know is that from very early on in their relationship, Peter Sr. had all of Gibbie's and Voytek's comings and goings monitored. Peter Sr. had an investigative and security team which could put the CIA and FBI to shame. In fact, both of these teams were made up of former members of these institutes and of the Secret Service as well as other high-ranking retired military men. His legal team was beyond reproach as well.
Needless to say, Gibbie was on a much shorter leash than she believed she was. And the heat on she and Voytek only increased with their move to California. Peter did not approve of Voytek whom he saw as an opportunistic cad who was riding on Gibbie's financial coattails.
This being said, Peter Sr. did have Voytek extensively investigated and traced his whereabouts in the US prior to meeting Gibbie and throughout Europe. Unfortunately, for those tin-foil hat wearers, Peter Sr. was only able to find out that Voytek was a deadbeat dad and husband having left behind in Poland both a wife and son who were barely getting by while he was flitting around Abigail's fortune. He also found out that although Voytek was a drug user, and a sometimes seller of the stuff, he was not a dealer of any notability.
It has been said that Voytek didn't want to marry Gibbie because of her money. That's total BS. He would have jumped at the chance at marrying her had it been possible. But it couldn't, because, #1 he was married already, and #2 Peter Sr. was in the process of putting in place an iron-clad pre-nup should the event ever occur. There was no way Voytek was ever going to inherit a penny from Abigail other than what she willingly gave him while alive.
Voytek was a cad, and a user...no doubt, but he wasn't a high-level drug-dealer as much as we would like to believe he was. ....
Abigail was watched the entire time she was living in LA. ...
Peter Sr. had people stationed in LA who reported back to him regularly about Abigail's whereabouts. I do know that he was concerned about the frequency of her visits with her psychiatrist. He was afraid that this information would get into public hands and that Abigail would be perceived as "unstable". Back then, seeing a shrink wasn't nearly as accepted as it is today. There was a definite stigma associated with it.
As far as Voytek was concerned, he was definitely low-level when it came to drug-selling. Peter thought him to be dangerous to Abigail not so much because of who he would expose her to, but rather because he could provide her with drugs that she could become dependent on. He was suspicious of Jay too but not for the same reasons. Abigail had asked her father to look into investing in Sebring International. Jay was not a great businessman. His forte was PR and the actual artistry of the cut. When he died he was in debt, not to drug dealers but to creditors. He tried to expand too much and too quickly and this is what Peter was wary of.
Peter Sr. was an incredible businessman and he did question Abigail's judgment in investing in Jay's company even though the amount of her investment was negligible. He was looking into Sebring International's fiscal viability at the time of the murders. I doubt he would have invested had that night not happened because Jay had bitten off more than he could chew.
I will say that Jay's investors were all legit. There was not money laundering within his business nor were there any sketchy shareholders. This was all confirmed via investigation by the DA's office.
