“I saw her outside talking with him and it seemed like a pretty hostile conversation,” Pettit told The California Post.<\/p>\n

“She turned around and went inside and slammed the door, like she was fed up with whatever was going on.”<\/p>\n

Pettit also told CBS Los Angeles that Wolfson had moved into the home about six months earlier.<\/p>\n

“He was pretty mysterious. He wasn’t talking to us, you know, he would come outside, smoke a cigarette and play some guitar,” he said. “That’s kinda the extent of the relationship we’ve had with him over the last six months or so.”<\/p>\n
