Charles Manson: Reporters Recall Brutal Killings

[@cmm2145]

Psychopath/Sociopath one or the other. Tex was and is. He’s the one who killed Sharon. In fact he actively participated in every murder the Manson Family did that we know of except Gary Hinman. Susan Atkins originally said that she participated in stabbing Sharon. Then in the late ‘70’s or early ‘80’s she changed her story and she told 2 different stories. One was that she didn’t stab Sharon but she did hold her down so Tex could stab her. The other story is that she didn’t harm anyone, that Tex killed Sharon by himself but that she still deserved to be punished because she was there and knew what was going on but she didn’t try to stop it. She didn’t leave the Tate property to look for and find a working phone to call police not did she notify police at any time after the murders. She did tell but not until she was in jail because of the police raid that happened because of stolen cars. But even then she didn’t tell police. She told her cellmates and they told police. In the early ‘80’s Tex said that he killed Sharon by himself and Susan wasn’t involved. But we really can’t believe much of anything they said because both of them were in the habit of lying and they were good at it.

[@dextermoore278]

Susan Atkins was PURE EVIL, just like Manson. Two crazy Narcissistic Psychopaths and killers.

@@cmm2145 In some of her parole hearings even in the 90's and early 2000's Suasn stated that what she told before in court was the truth. Steven Parent's sister brought this up. Susan was a liar and did nothing but try to manipulate to get herself out of jail. I'm glad in the end she was shown the same compassion she had for Sharon Tate. Actually, it was put to her much more nicely than what she said to Sharon.

[@G0K3001]

The detailing in the book "Helter Skelter" of this reporter retracing the route finding the bloody clothes is still, in my memory. One of the overall best books of a brutal senseless crime in America. It stands next to "In Cold Blood " By Truman Capote. Authored by Vincent Bugliosa, the prosecuting attorney. I do not care to read it again.

[@crapple009]

But the thing is that they didn't immediately get rid of the bloody clothing. They first stopped to wash off with a hose in a yard up the road before continuing their journey. I'm guessing it would've put a 10 or so minute delay in arriving at the pull-over stop to throw the clothes down the embankment. That's amazing the news reporters stopped when they did!

Charles Manson admits returning to the house in the early morning hours and attempted to hang Tate from the porch rafters, leaving pools of her blood on the flagstone. Also, the stab wounds to her back were on the left side, indicating that she fell onto her right side from the couch and was stabbed in that position.

So basically _Once Upon A Time in Hollywood_ is an alternate timeline?

[@chaupin5]

Yep, seen the film

[@markmac2206]

its the fairytale ending version. good girl Brandy.

Back when journalism was journalism.

Always surprises me how cavalierly evidence is stored! Staples cardboard file boxes stacked haphazardly on open metal shelves?

[@franksantucci3038]

Remember the Tate, LaBianca murders very well. I lived in Chatsworth from 1966-75 about 5 miles from Spahn Ranch. Here's a little story most people don't know. On the afternoon before the Tate murders, Jay Sebring ran into his old friend Steve McQueen in Beverly Hills and told him that they were having a get together at Sharon Tate's later on. Steve was good friends with Sharon as well, Steve said he and his old Lady would try to make it. When Steve told his old Lady about it, she said she didn't want to go, so they didn't. Had they went there would probably be two more victims to add to the other five, one of them being McQueen. Actually Steve lucked out twice, as Manson had a hit list of famous people he wanted to kill. McQueen's name was number 2 on the list, right underneath Frank Sinatra...

I was curious on why the paperwork wasn't ever returned back

[@napnemeanix]

Wow they kept the evidence and clothes in boxes, very sad seeing that rope, rip to the victims.

[@CarlyCorrigan1]

How could someone live in that house. It should have been demolished out of respect.

[@ccn9001]

It was demolished in 1996 I believe and the producer of Full House built a big ugly mansion and changed the address.

[@CarlyCorrigan1]

@@ccn9001 ooh I see. Thanks for clearing that up. When I seen the gates I just assumed it was the same house behinde it. Xx

[@michellelambert8729]

I think Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails lived in that house for awhile.

[@curtc2194]

I heard the house and property were haunted...I know they tore the murder house down but some believe that the property is still haunted.

[@michellelambert8729]

@@curtc2194 I hope with all my heart those souls are not trapped tormented there, but have moved on to some place I know is so beautiful.

[@seabasssimpson4547]

The LoBianco's were not random victims, they had family members removed from their neighbors house. That's why they were targeted.

[@chrisv.4071]

I'm surprised the clothes are being picked up with no gloves !!!

Indeed 🤦‍♂️😡 and that SOB got married and even had four kids in which poor beautiful Sharon Tate never got the chance to be a mother!!!! 🤦‍♂️😡 How fucked up is that ?!!!! 😡😡😡😡🤦‍♂️

@Melanie Jarrett ever notice that Polanski dressed like Austin Powers? that ruffle collar thing.

[@rjs2085]

This is so cool! I wish I could personally see all the evidence from back then!

[@brucetimothy4525]

I think I saw this in Mentalist/Psych or Dexter episode...that journalist's idea of changing the clothes in the car just like the murderers and finding the clothes.

[@vickimingus9281]

WORST DECADE

[@travishaynes9682]

How in bloody hell did the did they go to the same street and kill two more people the next night and not get caught !!!

[@MrPatrickLong]

Not the same street/neighborhood.

[@markmac2206]

they actually went to a 3rd location the 2nd night but Kasabian lied and said it was the wrong apartment but thats why they werent caught right away the locations were spread out. the cops didnt think the 2 murder sites were related at first.

Those poor victims. I fear so bad for them, especially Sharon who’d have feared for her baby. Pure evil, killing those people but especially the baby. 😢

Channel 7 on your side indeed

[@sharonletchford9375]

The fact that the news team found the clothing before the police is amazing, sometimes a little common sense goes a long way. I'm wondering I'd they found clothing from all of them which would be proof how many of them were their. Just out of curiosity? Also what made them think they d have changed their clothes. ?

[@keithbell9348]

So wonderful to get Al Wyman's testimony on this presentation. It might help to have him either speak up, or hire a voice over, a ventriloquist, closed caption.

Once upon a Time in Hollywood brought me here

[@jbro8934]

And exactly twenty five years later in the summer of 1994 and also in the same neighborhood, O.J. Simpson brutally murdered his estranged wife in the exact same fashion. And once again, as did the Manson Family, enjoyed the spotlight and publicity. Sick.

[@bowtie3]

It was not the same neighborhood. Where did you get that info from?
