Hilmar traveled through the Midwest before embarking down the Mississippi River to Louisiana and, ultimately, Texas. He said that even if a full team was on scene they may not have been able to prevent Hunter from breaking in due to the size of the Getty House property, and the fact that it happened at a back entrance. The break in happened while Mayor Bass and her family were inside but unharmed, said Los Angeles Police Department officials. The shattered glass triggered an alarm that alerted police, who responded to the home immediately and took Hunter into custody. Gascón says that Hunter caused between $5,000 and $10,000 in damage to the home after he shattered the glass, which cut him, causing blood stains to be left behind throughout the house.

During the home’s restoration, the flooring was replaced by virgin pine obtained from another structure built at the turn-of-the-century.
