In September 1967, Folger decided to move away from California in order to find herself and to probe the other side of life.

In Los Angeles, Abigail found a two-storey hilltop home to rent at 2774 Woodstock Road for her and Wojciech in Laurel Canyon, and bought herself a 1968 yellow Firebird.

Social work

Like her mother, Inez, who was active doing charity work with the Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinic in San Francisco, Abigail continued to be involved with volunteer work. She registered as a volunteer social worker for the Los Angeles County Welfare Department in September 1968. Earlier, in the spring and summer of 1968, Abigail attended fundraisers set up by her mother to aid the Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinic. It was around the same time many of the Manson family women were being treated there.

Meanwhile, Folger's work as a social worker soon began to take a toll on her and she became depressed. Adding to her depression was the knowledge that the children that she worked with in the poor areas of Los Angeles, such as Watts and Pacoima, were deprived. She would later admit that the suffering affected her deeply. Around this time, Abigail bought herself a Dalmatian puppy, which she named Tom.

On March 23, 1969, an odd incident occurred at 10050 Cielo Drive. That afternoon, Abigail and Wojciech went over to the Polanskis home for a going away dinner party for Tate, who was leaving for Rome the next day. Sebring was there, as well as Tate's friend, Shahrokh Hatami, an Iranian photographer. Rudi Altobelli, the owner of the Cielo home, had attended the party briefly, but soon returned to his guest house to pack for his upcoming trip to Europe. The incident involved a strange looking man who had appeared on the property as the occupants of the house sat in the dining room, which faced the front of the residence. Hatami felt uneasy about this stranger roaming the Polanski estate, looking at people he did not know, so he left the house to confront the man. From the front porch, the party inside could be seen through the large dining room windows. Hatami asked the stranger if he could help him. The stranger said he was looking for someone by the name of Terry Melcher, a name Hatami did not recognize. Hatami made it clear to the stranger that this was the Polanski residence, and suggested that perhaps the person he was looking for lived in the guest house. Later, this stranger was identified as Charles Manson.

Politics

From April to May 1968, Abigail became a political volunteer for the ill-fated presidential campaign of New York Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Folger donated both time and money to the Kennedy campaign. Abigail believed strongly and shared in Kennedy's political views, so she naturally supported him. Sadly, the dream soon came to an end when Kennedy was assassinated in Los Angeles in early June.

The next year during the month of April and continuing through most of May, Abigail was a political volunteer for the campaign of Tom Bradley, a black councilman running for mayor of Los Angeles. She contributed both her time and a large amount of her own money to the Bradley campaign. The defeat of Bradley by Sam Yorty in late May was due to a racial smear campaign, and it left Abigail feeling both bitter and disillusioned. This led her to become very involved with the civil rights movement that summer.

A day earlier, Abigail had quit her job as a social worker. It was at this time that Abigail's relationship with Wojciech began to crumble.
