What happened to the other Manson family members?

New Post has been published on http://usnewsaggregator.com/what-happened-to-the-other-manson-family-members/

What happened to the other Manson family members?

Charles Manson, the cult leader who orchestrated killings that shocked the nation in 1969, died Sunday aged 83. The crimes were carried out by his followers, members of the so-called Manson Family. Here’s where they are now:

Charles Manson — The ringleader of the killer cult died Sunday aged 83. Denied parole dozens of times, he had been unrepentant as he served nine life sentences at Corcoran State Prison in California. He would have been 92 before he was due to go in front of the parole board again in 2027. During his time inside, he still appeared to be able to enchant women. In 2015, he and 26-year-old Afton Elaine Burton, also known as “Star,” got a marriage license. It expired before they could tie the knot.

Patricia Krenwinkel — Currently California’s longest serving female prisoner, the 69-year-old has been denied parole 13 times. She took part in the murders of the LaBiancas and was part of the crew that broke into the rented home of Sharon Tate. Krenwinkel chased down coffee heiress Abigail Folger and stabbed her so many times cops thought her white nightgown was red. During her time behind bars she has been described as a model prisoner and has expressed remorse for her actions. “What I am today is not what I was at 19,” Krenwinkel said in the 2014 documentary “My Life After Manson.”

Leslie Van Houten — Like Krenwinkel, Van Houten has also been described as a model prisoner during her time behind bars. She was convicted of helping stab Rosemary LaBianca to death. California Gov. Jerry Brown overturned a parole board recommendation last year that she be released, with the governor saying she still posed an “unreasonable danger to society.” This September, the board again granted her parole, starting a 150-day process that will likely culminate in a final decision by Brown, according to The Associated Press.

Susan Atkins — She was the third member of the twisted sorority that were “Charlie’s Girls,” and the first member of the cult to die behind bars in 2009. She was 61. Once known as “Sexy Sadie,” she married twice after she was jailed and her second husband represented her at several of her 18 parole board hearings. She was denied an exit every time.

Charles “Tex” Watson — One of Manson’s henchmen, Watson is now 71 and has been serving a life sentence. Behind bars, Watson became an ordained minister and fathered four children during conjugal visits. When California ended that perk in 1996 for prisoners serving life sentences, Watson’s wife left him for another man.

Bruce Davis — Once considered Manson’s “right hand man,” Davis is 75 and imprisoned at the California Men’s Colony in San Luis Obispo. Like Watson, he too became a preacher behind bars.

Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme — She was a member of the cult but was never charged with the murders. In 1975, Fromme was nabbed while trying to assassinate President Gerald Ford. Now 69, she served 34 years in prison before she was paroled in 2009.

Charles “Tex” Watson was granted a continuance on his plea to seven counts of murder and a charge of conspiracy to murder in the Tate-LaBianca killings, April 13, 1971. Wally Fong / AP file

Linda Kasabian — She was the getaway driver when Manson’s minions went on their murder spree. Horrified, Kasabian later abandoned her cohorts and was granted immunity after testifying against Manson and his followers. She is 68 and believed to be living quietly in New Hampshire.

Bobby Beausoliel — Nicknamed “Cupid” because of his good looks, Beausoliel is serving a life sentence for stabbing to death Gary Hinman, the first of the victims. Now 70, Beausoliel is serving his sentence in the Oregon State Prison. A California parole board last denied his bid in October last year. He will be eligible for a hearing again in 2019, according to the AP.

Mary Brunner — She was one the first members of the Manson Family and bore the cult leader a son named Michael Valentine. Although she played no role in the murders, Brunner was busted in 1971 for robbing a gun store as part of a hare-brained scheme to bust Manson out of jail. She was wounded in a shootout with cops and paroled in 1977.

Steve “Clem” Grogan — Manson called Grogan “Scramblehead” because he was so dim. Originally sentenced to death for his role in the murders. Grogan got life instead after a judge deemed him “too stupid and too hopped on drugs” to have orchestrated the slaughter. He was sprung from prison in 1985 — the only convicted Manson family killer to be released. He is 66.

¿Quién es Rosalie Jean Willis y cuándo se casó con Charles Manson?

Rosalie Jean Willis fue la primera esposa de Charles Manson.

La camarera del hospital se casó con Manson en enero de 1955 en West Virginia a la edad de 21 años.

Los apoyó tanto con el robo de automóviles como con trabajos de reparación de automóviles a tiempo parcial, y al verano siguiente se mudaron juntos a Los Ángeles.

Fue arrestado en octubre mientras Rosalie estaba embarazada por conducir un automóvil robado a través de las fronteras estatales, y estuvo encarcelado por tres años.

En 1957, ella vivía con otro hombre y acordaron divorciarse en septiembre de 1958.

Quien es Candy Stevens?

Candy Stevens era el nombre de la calle de la prostituta Leona Stevens que se casó con Manson en 1958, justo después de su liberación de la prisión.

Pero su relación duró poco desde que fue arrestado en junio de 1960, la última vez que sería encarcelado hasta sus horribles crímenes contra la familia Manson a fines de la década de 1960.

¿Quién es Afton ‘Star’ Burton?

El 17 de noviembre de 2014, Manson se comprometió con Afton Elaine & # 39; Star & # 39; Burton, de 26 años, mientras aún estaba en prisión. Obtuvo una licencia de matrimonio el 7 de noviembre.

Burton había visitado a Manson en prisión durante al menos nueve años y mantuvo varios sitios web que afirmaban ser inocentes.

Pero nunca se casaron porque su licencia expiró en febrero de 2015 sin una ceremonia.

Se ha alegado que el matrimonio se canceló después de descubrir que Burton solo quería casarse con Manson si ella y un amigo podían usar su cuerpo como atracción turística después de su muerte.

Burton dijo en su sitio web que no estaban casados porque Manson cayó enfermo.

Ella dijo que todavía esperaba que la licencia de matrimonio se renovaría y que el matrimonio se llevaría a cabo.

Charles Manson:

Who is Charles Manson? How many victims did he murder? When was he captured and when did he die? “I never thought I was normal, never tried to be normal.” -Charles Manson. Was Charles Manson a real singer? Charles Manson was not only an infamous murderer who spent the majority of his life in prison, but he was also a fairly talented musician who was professionally recorded by record producer Phil Kaufman. The album, “Lie: The Love and Terror Cult” was released on March 6. 1970 by record label Awareness Records. However, due to the notoriety of the murders, few music stores would stock the album and it sold just 300 copies if the 2,000 originally created. Was Charles Manson married? He married twice, first was Rosalie Jean Willis from 1955 to 1958. Then after they divorced, Charles Manson married a prostitute named Candy Stevens from 1959 to 1963. In 2014 he got engaged to twenty-seven-year-old women named Afton Elaine Burton, who’s known as Star. But their relationship was part of a scheme to profit by putting his body on public display after his death.

Charles Manson was an American criminal who directed a brutal movement for Manson's fans to make him one of the most controversial figures in the world of the convict. Notorious for his linking death to the barbaric massacre of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and others residing in California, Manson was sentenced to life in prison in 1971. Charles Manson’s early life: On November 12, 1934, Manson was born to the 16-year-old Kathleen Maddox who was an alcoholic and a prostitute both in Cincinnati, Ohio. Proceeding, the marriage ended suddenly, but Charles was in kindergarten with children at the age of 12. Katherine married William Manson, later. Charles then ended up homeless and was refused to return to his home and was undergoing minor crimes. Over the next 20 years, Manson spent time in and out of reform schools and prisons for various crimes. He was released from prison on March 21, 1967 and moved to San Francisco. The Family Cult of Manson was a group of roughly 100 Manson followers who embraced their love for unconventional lifestyle and the occasional use of the LSD and mushroom drugs. The Manson family eventually migrated to a barren ranch in San Fernando Valley from San Francisco. A limited, hard-core team of exceptional adolescents also included Manson's fans. Manson's argument that he was Christ and his race war prophecies began undoubtedly beginning to think.

Charles Manson and "Helter Skelter”; Manson was not only impacted by medications like LSD, but also through artwork and music, primarily by the 1968 album of The Beatles "Helter Skelter." Helter Skelter: Manson Murders The True Story continued to serve as the title of the best-selling book on Manson's murders authored by Vincent Bugliosi. Paul McCartney has said that the Helter Skelter Playground is a representation of Roman Empire up and down. Furthermore, Manson perceived Helter Skelter's lyrics as a trigger to start a race war. To justify his scheme and steer the followers to suicide, he turned to the album and the lyriques. The traits and obsessions of Manson in many ways were associated with gurus of cult-quasi-faith groups which began to emerge in the 1960s. His delusional illusion was that he was the prelude to the future of the planet.

“If you're going to do something, do it well. And leave something witchy.”-Charles Manson. “I have killed no one and I have ordered no one to be killed.”-Charles Manson. It is suspected that several 35 attacks were performed towards the Manson family, including Manson and also its young, committed supporters. Most of their prosecutions have not been reported, mainly due to extreme lack of any evidence. The victims already had already been sentenced to life for alleged assassinations on 9 August 1969 and two additional fatalities on 10 August 1969[ Tate, writer Wojciech Frykowski, his partner, coffee bean heiress Abigail folger and celebrity hairstyler Jay Sebring] (Caucasian Leno LaBianca and his aunt, Rosemary). In August 1969, Manson assembled a group of his most devoted family followers to carry out his assassination among the wealthy and "beautiful people" of Hollywood. Polanski, located at 10050 Cielo Drive in Benedict Canyon, a suburb just north of Beverly Hills, leased the first of Manson's victims. Polanski was out in London shooting a movie, and at the time of the murder, the four victims had just returned home from dinner.

While Manson himself did not participate in the actual killings, he addressed four of his most obedient followers — Charles "Tex" Watson, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel and Linda Kasabian — and directed them to kill all. According to one of the statements made by the family member, the Polanski household was targeted because it represented the showbiz world which had rejected Manson. Steven Parent had been visiting his friend Garretson when he became the Manson Family's first victim. As he drove away from the house in the dark early morning hours, he was spotted by the intruders and shot dead. Kasabian was shocked by the boy's shooting, so she sat outside to wait. During the case, Kasabian acted as the getaway driver and was to be the star witness. They herded Tate, Frykowski, Folgers and Sebring into the lounge when the other three broke into the house and tied them up. Sebring was shot and kicked brutally while trying to defend Tate. Frykowski and Folger both managed to escape from the building during the horrific murder spree but were pursued and stabbed to death. At the court, Kasabian explained how she had seen Frykowski stumbling out of the blood-covered house and being shocked at the sight.

Eight-month pregnant Tina has begged for her unborn child's life. Atkins went mercilessly punching her in the chest. Kasabian told Tate about Atkins ' chilling threats before she stabbed her: "Listen, slut, I have no pity on you. You'll die, and you'd best get used to it." Atkins then used Tate's blood to write the word "pig" at the front door. Instead of sating the psychotic Manson in this gruesome killing, though, he blamed the murderers for being incompetent. Manson took family members Manson, Krenwinkel, and Leslie Van Houten to the LaBiancas ' Los Feliz address the next night and the pair were killed in a strikingly gruesome manner. Interestingly, not because of fear of the Tate-LaBianca killings, but merely because they thought they had vandalized areas of the National Park Death Valley while they fled in the Mojave Desert. Manson and the family were not charged. In 1969 the county sheriff held them in jail and didn't realize that the murders were odious. Nevertheless, it was through the Susan Atkins testimony that investigators learned Manson and his associates were involved in the murders, while they were being held in custody on the suspicion of murdering Gary Hinmann during an unrelated event.

During the jury, various motives were investigated. It was most possible for Manson to leave a trail of ruin behind his narcissistic arrogance and paranoia and conviction in Armageddon. Manson claimed that he had been the new messiah and would be rescued by covering up in a secret world under the desert after a "nuclear attack." His prophetic visions included a conviction that the race war would lead to a black victory, and that, as the world would lose knowledge, Manson and his followers would have to steer the black community. Since Manson and the family should start receiving race warfare, he told his followers they would help to initiate it. The primary reason why they slaughtered the LaBiancas, according to Defense witness and killer Van Houten. To preparing to deposit Manson in the region of LA, he removed the wallet of the Rosemary LaBianca murdered. Use it and possibly then pinned murder on it where an African American would find it. Early on in court, Van Houten, only 19 at the time that she engaged in the assassination of LaBianca, alleged that she was weak to her and hated her husband, while she felt he was a genius like other relatives. 30 years later, Van Houten said she was terrified about what she did that night and desperately wanted to save herself during a hearing on a parole board. Between 2006 and 2010, she was denied parole.

In the early admissions, Susan Atkins confessed to her fellow prisoners that, although she had not had the time to cut Tate out of the unborn baby. She has also revealed that the victims must be sentenced to other gravely and macabre acts and a list of other highly famous Stars from Hollywood must now be named for murder and mutilation. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's friend, Frank Sinatra, Steve McQueen and Tom Jone were among these leaders. Once asked why you wanted to kill actors, Atkins responded that the Manson family wanted to kill people and to shock the world. The trial began in June 1970 and the counsel of Manson and van Houten was chosen by prosecutor Ronald Hughes. Hughes soon fell off Manson as a buyer and, according to Hughes, the jurors could be convinced that the cult leader manipulated Van Houten unduly. Hughes went camping late in the year and died and his decomposed body returned several months later. The change may have cost him his life. He's thought to have been the perpetrator of a Manson cult violent assassination. During the trial Manson released an album called Lie to raise his defense money. He was attentive to the public, so he twisted with an X etched in his forehead at court proceedings. Some of his wives copied and rasped their ears, sometimes outside the courtroom. Throughout the proceedings, the killers frequently rattled and exchanged riots with Manson, showing no remorse for their crimes. The X became a swastika. On 25 January 1971, the perpetrator of Tate-LaBianca was found guilty of first-degree murder. He was convicted but was transferred to life in prison after all death sentences had been annulled by 1972 by the Supreme Court of California. He's been sentenced to life in prison and remained behind bars for four decades. On her part, as a star witness Kasabian won immunity. Susan Atkins was fined but later commuted to her life imprisonment. Since 1969 until her passing in 2009, she was jailed.

Who did the Manson Family Murder? While the Charles Manson Story may include many other perpetrators or even undiscovered remains, the following are the victims of mostly Tate / Labianca shootings, which are known to be the main victims of the notorious 1969 Manson massacres. ABIGAIL FOLGER … (VICTIM) DONALD “SHORTY” SHEA (VICTIM) GARY HINMAN … (VICTIM) JAY SEBRING … (VICTIM) LENO AND ROSEMARY LABIANCA … (VICTIMS) SHARON TATE … (VICTIM) STEVEN PARENT … (VICTIM) WOJCIECH FRYKOWSKI … (VICTIM) Manson and his family remain suspects in other murders. For example, 12 unsolved killings could be related to the Manson family, the Los Angeles Police Department said in 2012. Manson’s family cult had about a hundred followers, Manson claimed to be Jesus; he wanted to be a musician and he never murdered anyone himself. “Look down at me and you see a fool, look up at me and you see a God; look straight at me and you see yourself.” -Charles Manson. “I'm probably one of the most dangerous men in the world if I want to be. But I never wanted to be anything but me.”- Charles Manson.

Charles Manson, the infamous cultic leader whose murderous followers in the summer of 1969 committed eight gruesome murders, finally passed away on 19 November 2017. For the killings that he was accused of masterminding, he served over half a century in a jail in California and lived behind bars until he was struck by cardiac arrest at age 83. But with his fiancée, his friends, and his family still sparring about his body, his gray story kept on unfolding even with Charles Manson gone. He created a bleak chain that took up headlines throughout the world, even after the death of Charles Manson. Whatever the motivations Manson had for these killings, a jury found apparent that he was led to the 10050 Cielo Drive and kill everyone in his family — Tex Watson, Susan Atkins, Linda Kasabian, and Patricia Krenwinkel — in Tate, as well as other members of his family on scene, Wojciech Frykowski, Abigail Folger, Jay Sebring and Steven Parent. The evening after the murders of Tate, Leno and Rosemary LaBianca stormed into the house and killed them just as violently as they had the night before.

In the early hours of 2017, Manson had been found guilty of gastrointestinal bleeding and had him taken to hospital. It became apparent within months that Manson was dying from colon cancer and in a critical condition. He did however hold on until November of that year. He was sent on 15 November to a Bakersfield hospital with the signs indicating that he was reaching his end. Charles Manson was certainly killed in hospital by a 19 November cardiac arrest and respiratory collapse. The cancer that has spread to other parts of his body since his diagnosis has led to his death. In the final analysis, the reaction to "how was Charles Manson dying? “It was entirely easy. And one of the most notorious criminals of the 20th century was gone with Charles Manson dead. But the entire saga of the murder of Charles Manson was just beginning thanks largely to a woman named Afton Burton.

According to The Daily Beast, when a friend told her of his environmental activism, Afton Burton first learned of Charles Manson. His rallying cry known as ATWA–sun, earth, water, animals–seemed to have so inspired the young woman that, after talking, she shared not only a bond with Manson but also began to develop romantic feelings for him. In 2007, she left her Midwest home in Chicago, Bunker Hill, with a budget of $2,000 at the age of 19 to visit the aging inmate in Corcoran, Calif. Burton helps him handle his Manson Direct web site and commissioner finances, and Manson eventually warmed her desire to marry him. The two started developing an friendly relationship. Nevertheless, this 53-year-old relationship was not truthful, according to The New York Post. Since establishing her friendship with Manson, Burton — who became known as "Sun" — sought only custody of his body since he died.

It is claimed that she and a friend Craig Hammond have planned to take the Manson corpse in custody and view it in a glass crypt, where people can pay to see fawning or just interested. But this program never happened. It never did. Manson himself, who slowly began to understand that Burton's motives were not what they originally appeared, was effectively thwarting this strange scheme. Journalist Daniel Simone said Burton and Hammond, who wrote a book on the subject, had abandoned their cry pot scheme and initially tried to have Manson sign a document which would grant them his body's rights after his death. Simone clarified that Burton and Hammond would be transported from prison of toiletries and other toiletries, and keeping the donations coming was exactly why Manson held his stance on the deal nebulous. He said that he wanted Manson to adhere to their arrangement. "It wasn't enough to have Manson in the street. Yet Manson chose not to comply with the scheme at the end of the day.

"He knew he was finally played for a joke," Simone said. "I hope he's never going to die. Yeah, he feels it's an idiotic idea to start with. "When the first proposal of Burton and Hammond didn't work, he was only more concerned with marrying him that would allow him to retain his body after his death. And Manson got a marriage permit to marry Burton before he died, but they never did. When the case ended, an announcement on the website of Burton and Hammond told viewers worldwide that the program was still in motion. "We intend to extend the license, and in the next few months things will move on," reads the document. The website also reported that the service was postponed "by an unwelcome administrative disruption," which presumably related to the relocation of Manson to a psychiatric facility for an infection. At the end, Manson did not recover, the wedding proposal did not come to fruition and Burton never fulfilled his plan to protect Manson's body. It left Manson with him at least for two months. Burton's program was left incomplete with the death of Charles Manson on November 19, 2017. But with Charles Manson dead, so began the battle for his body that took months to finally conclude. “So, for you people who are filled with fear that I might someday be released: breathe easy, I don't see it happening.” -Charles Manson.

Who is Manson? Who is Manson? Has he killed how many victims? Where has he been arrested and when has he been dead? "I never claimed that I was average, I never wanted to be normal." What a true artist was Charles Manson? In addition to being a notorious killer who spent most of his life in prison, Charles Manson was also a fairly talented art maker, Phil Kaufman. On March 6 was released the album "Lie: The Love of Terror" 1970 Awareness Records record label. 1970. Thanks to the famous murders, though, the album would only stock few music stores and sell just 300 copies if the 2,000 were originally created. Who wed Charles Manson? He married two times, first from 1955 to 1958, Rosalie Jean Willis. Charles Manson then married a prostitute named Candy Stevens between 1959 and 1963 after their divorce. In 2014, he married Afton Elaine Burton, a 27-year-old woman named Star. Yet their partnership was part of a scheme to profit from putting their body after his death on public display.

TIME-LIFE Killer Cults: Inside the Mind of Charles Manson and Other Cult Leaders

In the summer of 1969, musician Gary Hinman was the first to lose his life. Stuntman and actor Donald Shea the last. Other victims included actress Sharon Tate and coffee heiress Abigail Folger. Prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi wrote the book Helter Skelter, the definitive account of the case, from slaughter to trial.

When Charles Manson walked into Los Angeles Superior Court on the morning of July 24, 1970, a bloody X was cut into his forehead. The mark had been carved there the night before, and if the reaction from onlookers was audible, the cult leader's unspoken message was equally so: accused along with three acolytes of seven brutal murders, Manson could wrest control of the narrative - even before opening arguments.

"I have X'd myself from your world," the cult leader wrote in a statement distributed by followers outside the court building where the Tate - LaBianca trial was starting. "You have created the monster ... My faith in me is stronger than all of your armies, governments, gas chambers, or anything you may want to do to me. I know what I have done. Your courtroom is a man's game. Love is my judge."

Manson in February 1970 gave a lengthy interview that later ran in Rolling Stone, in which he declared among other things, that "death is pyschosomatic." Then, when Keene refused to allow Manson to represent himself, the cult leader used a California rule that allowed for the removal of a judge deemed to be prejucided against a defendant.

In fact, it was Manson, not Judge Older, the defense team or the prosecutors, who dominated the courtroom. He concluded the first day of trial attempting to bribe the bailiff with $100,000 to allow him to escape. He hurled insults and threats willy - nilly and coordinated outbursts by Atkins, Van Houten and Krenwinkel. When Older warned that the antics might influence the jury in unexpected ways, Manson threw his arms out to mimic the crucifixion. "You leave me nothing," he declared. "You can kill me now."

Older again ordered Manson out of the room, the cult leader yelled, "In the name of Christian justice, someone should cut your head off!"

Manson's life was spared by a 1972 California Supreme Court decision outlawing capital punishment, so he remained a guest of the state for a total of 46 years - at a cost of roughly $1 million to taxpayers - until his death in 2017.

Over time, the killer attempted to win parole a dozen times but was always denied. He was incorrigible and unrepentant, cited for more than 100 infractions - assaults, making threats to guards and fellow prisoners, and a range of other misbehavior that included smuggling in drugs and weapons and plotting an escape.

Retired prison counselor Edward George, who struck up a kind of friendship with the convict in the late 1970s, recalled him a volatile and manipulative. "He could be sweet and kind, then a raging maniac ... He knew how to play people, how to set them up. He was the devil reincarnated. But he was bright."

In 1983, he recorded 13 acoustic tracks that were released a decade later as Live at San Quentin by Grey Matter Records. More than 50 years his junior, Afton Elaine Burton, a groupie who visited regularly for almost a decade, was engaged to Manson in 2014, but he broke it off after learning Burton planned to someday display his corpse under glass, like Lenin's - as a tourist attraction.

Why Some Women Are Attracted To Serial Killers

t may be hard to wrap your head around, but even after being convicted in the brutal killings of actress Sharon Tate and several others, cult leader Charles Manson still had women pursuing him romantically. Three years ago, Manson ― who died Sunday after nearly five decades in prison ― became engaged to Afton Elaine Burton, a 26-year-old woman who went by the name Star and ran a website called Release Charles Manson Now. The romance fizzled out. The couple’s marriage license expired in February 2015 amid tabloid rumors that Burton wanted to marry the killer so that she could put his body on display for profit after his death ― a claim her parents later denied.

Charles Manson, cult leader and convicted murderer, dies aged 83

Manson and his family became notorious for the murder of Sharon Tate and six others during the summer of 1969

Charles Manson, the pseudo-satanic sociopath behind a string of killings that shocked California out of its late 1960s cultural reverie, died on Sunday after almost a half century in prison.

The 83-year-old, who died of natural causes, had been serving multiple life sentences in state prison in Corcoran, California, for orchestrating the violence in 1969 that claimed the lives of Sharon Tate, the heavily pregnant wife of film director Roman Polanski, and six others.

While his death prompted the inevitable and renewed questioning around why his grim notoriety had been so enduring, Michele Hanisee, president of the Association of Deputy District Attorneys for Los Angeles County, said: Today, Mansons victims are the ones who should be remembered and mourned on the occasion of his death.

She went on to quote the late Vincent Bugliosi, the prosecutor who put Manson behind bars, who had said: Manson was an evil, sophisticated conman with twisted and warped moral values.

Who was Charles Manson?

Charles Mansonwasone of the most notorious murderers of the 20th century. Heleda cult known as the Manson Family in California, most of whom were disaffected young women. Some became killers under his messianic influence.

Murder from afar

Despite spending more than 40 years in prison for the murders of seven people in 1969,Manson did not carry out the killings.Insteadhe convincedmembers of his familyto murder. One of their victims was the actor Sharon Tate, who was married to Roman Polanski and was more than eight months’ pregnant when she was killed.

Celebrity friends

By the time of histrial in 1971, Manson hadspent half of his life in correctional institutions forvarious crimes. He became a singer-songwriter before the Tate murders andgot a break in the music industry when he metBeach Boys’ Dennis Wilson,who let him crash at his home.

Helter Skelter

It is believed that Manson intended using the murders to incite an apocalyptic race war he called Helter Skelter, taking the name from the Beatles song.

Thank you for your feedback.

As the leader of a cult known as the Manson Family, Manson had instructed his followers, made up mostly of disaffected young women, to carry out the killings. The brutality of the murders set Los Angeles on edge, and ended the sunny optimism of the 60s counterculture and its aspirations to a new society built on peace and love. Manson presented himself as a demonic force: at trial, he carved a Nazi swastika into his forehead.

The five received the death penalty but were spared when capital punishment was temporarily abolished following a ruling by the supreme court in 1972.

Manson and three female followers, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel and Leslie Van Houten, were convicted of murder and conspiracy to murder. Another defendant, Charles Tex Watson, was convicted later.

Tate, the wife of Polanski, who was out of the country the night of her murder, was eight and a half months pregnant when Mansons followers broke into her home in Los Angeles. They stabbed and shot Tate and her visitors, Jay Sebring, Voytek Frykowski, coffee heiress Abigail Folger and Steven Parent.The word Pig was written in blood on the front door. Tate, who had starred in The Valley of the Dolls, was stabbed 16 times, and an X was carved into her stomach.

The next night, his followers murdered couple Leno and Rosemary LaBianca.

Although the followers committed the murders, Manson had ordered them. At the LaBianca home, he tied up the couple before leaving others to carry out the killings.

After his death on Sunday night, Tates sister Debra told NBC: One could say Ive forgiven them, which is quite different than forgetting what they are capable of. It is for this reason I fight so hard to make sure that each of these individuals stays in prison until the end of their natural days.

In the 2004 book Sharon Tate Recollection, Polanski wrote: Even after so many years, I find myself unable to watch a spectacular sunset or visit a lovely old house or experience visual pleasure of any kind without instinctively telling myself how much she would have loved it all.

Prosecutors at the time said Manson and his cult were trying to spark a race war that he believed was foretold in the Beatles song Helter Skelter, and hoped the Black Panthers would be blamed for the killings.

Before the murders, Manson spent most of his teens and 20s in and out of prison, and he later became a singer-songwriter. He got a break in the music industry when he met the Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson. The group later recorded Never Learn Not to Love, which Manson had written.

He became friends with the Byrds producer Terry Melcher (the son of Doris Day) and even recorded 13 folksy songs for an album that eventually was titled Lie: The Love and Terror Cult; it was released in March 1970 to help pay for his defense.

Manson had established himself as a would-be cult leader in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco. He took a handful of followers, some of whom would later be convicted in the killings, to the old Spahn Movie Ranch north of LA and turned it into a hedonistic commune.

Van Houten, the youngest member of the original Manson Family, later said that Manson had used sex, LSD, Bible readings, repeated playing of the Beatles White Album and rambling lectures about triggering a revolution to brainwash her.

Van Houten, 68, was convicted of the killings of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca. She was recommended for parole in September but Californias governor, Jerry Brown, has yet to approve the recommendation. He rejected an earlier decision, concluding that Van Houten posed an unreasonable danger to society if released from prison.

In June, officials denied a parole request by Krenwinkel, the states longest-serving female prisoner, after her attorney said she had been abused by Manson or another person. She has been denied parole multiple times in the past.

Mansons lawyer, Irving Kanarek, claimed his client was innocent during a 2014 interview with the Guardian. No question he was legally innocent. And, more than that, he was actually innocent, Kanarek said, arguing that there was no evidence connecting him to the case.

At a 2012 parole hearing, which was denied, Manson was quoted as having said to one of his prison psychologists: Im special. Im not like the average inmate. I have spent my life in prison. I have put five people in the grave. I am a very dangerous man.

According to the LA Times, Manson committed hundreds of rules violations while being held at the Corcoran state prison, including assault, repeated possession of a weapon and threatening staff. Officials said he has spat in guards faces, started fights, tried to cause a flood and set his mattress ablaze.

In 2014, Manson and Afton Elaine Burton, a 26-year-old Manson devotee, were granted a marriage license, but it expired before the two could marry. She had faithfully visited him in prison for seven years. Manson had been denied parole 12 times, with his next hearing set for 2027.

His death is unlikely to end interest in his crimes. Quentin Tarantino is believed to be preparing a film that uses the murders as a backdrop for its main plot, and an adaptation of Emma Clines bestselling 2016 novel, The Girls, is on the way.

Writer Joan Didion interviewed Linda Kasabian, the Manson family member who acted as a lookout in the Tate and LaBianca killings and later gave evidence at the trial, and described the atmosphere in Hollywood in an essay from her collection The White Album (1979).

Everything was unmentionable but nothing was unimaginable Didion wrote. A demented and seductive vortical tension was building in the community. The jitters were setting in. I recall a time when the dogs barked every night and the moon was always full.

I remember that no one was surprised.

Reached at home in Manhattan, Didion, 82, told the Guardian: Mansons legacy was never obvious to me. It wasnt obvious when I went to talk with Linda Kasabian, and it isnt obvious to me now. But I do find it easy to put him from my mind.

In 2008, California officials ordered the search of a deserted ranch in Death Valley where Manson and his family briefly resided. The search turned up no evidence of human remains.

Manson may be gone but the persistence of his dark vision endures. I am crime, he proclaimed in a telephone call to the New York Post from prison in the mid-2000s.

Charles Manson Dead

The notorious cult leader, Charles Manson, dies in prison at the age of 83. Manson, who got his cult followers to kill 9 people, died of natural causes after reportedly looking very sick. He was hospitalized on the 22nd of November and was told that just in a matter of time he would die. While many celebrated his death, you always have those few crazy groupies who treated him as if he was Jennifer Lopez. His “wife” Afton Elaine Burton aka Star is probably one of the craziest groupies. The two meet when Star was only 17 and she would visit him for hours a day and despite him not wanting to get married, claiming that marriage was “garbage” he went along with it. Even tho he was in prison he would always say “all women want me” doubt it. Rumor is when Manson died she wanted his body on public display just to make a profit. But he ended up not going threw with the marriage saying” she was to crazy” ironic huh?

Charles Manson Dead at 83

New Post has been published on http://gossip.network/charles-manson-dead-at-83/

Charles Manson Dead at 83

Charles Manson, the cult leader of the Manson family who masterminded the Tate-LaBianca killings of 1969 and one of the most reviled and fascinating figures in American pop culture, died Sunday night, CBS Los Angeles reports. He was 83. Manson had been rushed to a Bakersfield, California hospital from Corcoran State Prison earlier this month for an undisclosed medical issue.

Manson died of natural causes at Kern County hospital, according to a California Department of Corrections statement.

A career criminal, amateur musician, enigmatic cult leader and unrepentant racist, Manson became synonymous with the dark underbelly and ominous end of the Sixties. The two-day killing spree he orchestrated in August 1969 left seven people dead and, as legend has it, sprang from his mad interpretation of the Beatles’ White Album – specifically the song “Helter Skelter” – which he believed foretold a coming apocalyptic race war.

On August 9th, 1969, tired of waiting for that war to break out, Manson sent four members of his so-called Family to a house on Cielo Drive in Los Angeles with the order to “totally destroy everyone in [it], as gruesome as you can.” They killed the eight-and-a-half-month pregnant actress Sharon Tate, 26, wife of director Roman Polanski; celebrity hairstylist Jay Sebring, 35; screenwriter Voytek Frykowski, 32; heiress to the Folger’s coffee fortune Abigail Folger, 25; and 18-year-old bystander Steven Earl Parent. The next night, Manson ordered the crew, with one additional member, to a different home on Waverly Drive, where grocery-store-chain owner Leno LaBianca, 44, and his wife, Rosemary, 38, were stabbed to death. At both houses, the culprits left words like “rise,” “piggies” and “helter skelter” scrawled in blood.

Manson and three other members of his Family – Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel and Leslie Van Houten – were found guilty of the murders and received death sentences, which were later commuted to life in prison. The trial became a spectacle in and of itself and Manson’s notorious legacy was cemented when he carved an X (later changed to a swastika) onto his forehead in protest of what he saw as unfair treatment by the law. Manson’s absence during the murders and the grip he maintained over his Family underscored one of the case’s most chilling aspects: Atkins, Krenwinkel and Van Houten also carving Xs into their foreheads.

Manson was born in 1934 to a 16-year-old girl in Cincinnati. He never knew his father, and his mother was an alcoholic. He was raised in juvenile halls, reform schools and prisons, ultimately spending approximately 60 of his 82 years incarcerated. Prior to the Tate-LaBianca killings, he was an easy target for cops, bungling burglaries and carjackings, and failing as a pimp. He divorced twice, fathered and abandoned two sons and ultimately earned himself a stay in McNeil Island Prison in Washington for forging checks and transferring women across state lines for the purpose of prostitution.

On March 21st, 1967, Manson was released on parole after seven years. He was 32, it was the Summer of Love and he headed to San Francisco. As Rolling Stone wrote in a 2013 profile, Manson “had the mystique of the ex-con, he had a good you-can-be-free metaphysical rap” — and he played the guitar. Within months, Manson had corralled several young women into his orbit, starting with the Berkeley librarian Mary Brunner, and soon after 18-year-old Lynette Fromme (later known as “Squeaky”), Ruth Anne Moorhouse, Sandra Good, Krenwinkel and Atkins.

That fall, Manson relocated his growing Family – both Atkins and Brunner would become pregnant – to Los Angeles, in part to chase a dream of rock and roll stardom. During this time, Manson recorded a handful of demos that producer (and one-time Manson Family roommate) Phil Kaufman released in 1970 as Lie: The Love and Terror Cult. Decades later, his songs would be covered by an array of artists including Guns N’ Roses, the Lemonheads, Devendra Banhart, Brian Jonestown Massacre and Rob Zombie, but at the time he was unable to score a record deal.

Nevertheless, Manson managed to infiltrate the late Sixties Los Angeles music scene through a haphazard connection to the Beach Boys after Dennis Wilson picked up several Family members hitchhiking on Sunset Strip. Manson and the girls eventually moved in with Wilson where they mingled with other members of the Los Angeles scene, like producer and Beach Boys associate Terry Melcher. While Manson was never able to impress Beach Boys mastermind Brian Wilson, the group did record one of his songs, “Cease to Exist,” which they reworked heavily, renamed “Never Learn Not to Love” and released on their 1969 album, 20/20, and as the B-side to “Bluebirds Over the Mountain.” Manson did not get a writing credit.

In an extensive 1970 interview with Rolling Stone, Manson spoke with David Felton and David Dalton about his music career (their notes from the interview are in italics). “I never really dug recording, you know, all those things pointing at you,” Manson said. “Greg would say. ‘Come down to the studio, and we’ll tape some things,’ so I went. You get into the studio, you know, and it’s hard to sing into microphones. [He clutches his pencil rigidly, like a mike.] Giant phallic symbols pointing at you. All my latent tendencies … [He starts laughing and making sucking sounds. He is actually blowing the pencil!] My relationship to music is completely subliminal, it just flows through me.”

In March 1969, after failing to get a record deal with the Beach Boys’ label, Brother Records, Manson decided to take his anger out on Terry Melcher. He went to the producer’s house on Cielo Drive, but discovered Melcher had moved out. Instead, new resident Sharon Tate was throwing a party.

In July of that same year, Manson and his Family perpetrated two other murders. First, they killed a drug dealer named Bernard “Lotsapoppa” Crowe, whom Manson associate Tex Watson burned in a deal. Not long after, Manson joined his friend Bobby Beausoleil as he sought revenge on Gary Hinman, a member of the Straight Satans biker gang, over another bad drug deal. Several weeks later, Manson ordered the Tate and LaBianca murders.

For months, the Los Angeles Police Department treated the two killings as unrelated. In October, 27 people were arrested at the Manson Family’s home base, Spahn Ranch, for car theft, but it wasn’t until a month later that authorities got their first big break when Susan Atkins bragged to fellow inmates about the murders.

Manson entered prison on April 22nd, 1971, for seven counts of first-degree murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder. He was convicted of first-degree murder in 1971 and was originally sentence to death. However, in 1977, Superior Court of California in the County of Los Angeles commuted Manson’s sentence to life in prison.

Even after his conviction and sentence, Manson remained a prominent figure in American pop culture. Los Angeles deputy district attorney Vincent Bugliosi chronicled the case in his 1974 book Helter Skelter, which became the biggest selling true-crime book of all time. A year later, Manson acolyte Squeaky Fromme attempted, and failed, to assassinate President Gerald Ford. Meanwhile, Manson maintained a high profile from prison, granting interviews throughout the Eighties and Nineties. During one infamous chat with Diane Sawyer, he roared, “I’m a gangster, woman. I take money!”

When Hedegaard visited Manson in prison in 2013, he painted a picture of an old man with gray hair, bad hearing and bad lungs who walked with a cane. Throughout the interview, Manson maintained his innocence, saying he never killed anyone nor gave orders to kill anyone. He also denied the Helter Skelter race-war theory presented in Bugliosi’s book (“Man, that doesn’t even make insane sense!”) and downplayed the idea that he was any sort of leader: “Go for what you know, baby; we’re all free here. I’m nobody’s boss!”

Yet Manson was also frequently joined by a new companion, Star (real name Afton Elaine Burton), a young woman who moved to Corcoran, California for Manson, drawn by his stances on environmental issues. In 2015, Manson and Star were granted a marriage license, but it expired before they could marry. Nevertheless, Star devoted several years caring for Manson and attempting to rehabilitate his public image. She too carved an X onto her forehead.

In January, Manson was taken from Corcoran State Prison, where he was serving a life sentence, to a nearby hospital in California’s Central Valley for an undisclosed medical issue, per the Los Angeles Times. According to a source, Manson was seriously ill, but could not provide details. Officials from the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation declined comment, saying inmates’ medical information must remain private.

Manson spent the majority of his life behind bars, but even he seemed to recognize it was where he belonged. In 1970, he told Rolling Stone, “Being in jail protected me in a way from society. I was inside, so I couldn’t take part, play the games that society expects you to play.” He even espoused his love of solitary confinement: “I began to hear music inside my head. I had concerts inside my cell. When the time came for my release, I didn’t want to go. Yeah, man, solitary was beautiful.”

Over forty years later, his opinion had not changed. During his interview with Hedegaard, he reiterated his love of prison, as well as his false claim that the Beach Boys’ song “In My Room” was based on his own tune, “In My Cell.” “Like all my songs, it’s about how my heaven is right here on Earth,” Manson said. “See, my best friend is in that cell. I’m in there. I like it.”

USA, è morto Charles Manson, il santone che sconvolse l’America

Dopo un breve ricovero in ospedale, è morto alle 20:13 di domenica (le 5:13 di lunedì in Italia) al Kern County Hospital Bakersville in California Charles Manson, uno dei serial killer più sanguinari della storia americana. Capo della setta “Family” resasi protagonista di alcuni tra i più efferati omicidi dell’epoca, come quello passato alla storia come “la strage di Cielo Drive” in cui perse la vita tra gli altri, la moglie del regista Roman Polansky, al suo ottavo mese di gravidanza. Ma chi era Charles Manson? Charles Manson venne messo al mondo a Cincinnati, nell’Ohio il 12 novembre 1934 da una prostituta di appena sedici anni. La sua infanzia è stata caratterizzata da una serie di problemi che lo hanno visto protagonista di furti e rapine fino all’età di sedici anni quando conosce per la prima volta la privazione della libertà a causa dell’ingresso in riformatorio, all’interno di uno dei riformatori in cui era stato mandato si macchiò di un ulteriore crimine per cui perse l'opportunità della libertà condizionata per avere sodomizzato un giovane detenuto puntandogli una lama alla gola. Appena tornato in libertà, nel 1955, si sposa con l’infermiera Rosalie Jeans Willis che non aveva ancora compiuto 16 anni e dalla cui relazione nasce, nell’aprile del 1956 il loro primo ed unico figlio Charles Milles Manson, Jr. I due divorziano nel 1958, dopo meno di tre anni di matrimonio. Nel corso della sua vita fuori dai vari penitenziari in cui “soggiornava” con frequenza, non smise mai di commettere crimini. Nel 1960 venne incriminato per “trasporto di donne da uno stato all’altro a scopo di prostituzione”. Condannato a dieci anni di prigione, è proprio durante la detenzione che si avvicina a negromanzia, magia nera, esoterismo, il cui studio lo porta, una volta fuori, a fondare la sua setta, denominata “Family”. Durante la detenzione impara anche a suonare con buoni risultati la chitarra, abilità questa che lo aiuta ad avvicinare diversi giovani con cui inizia una vita “on the road” in giro per gli Stati Uniti a bordo di un vecchio scuolabus ridipinto di nero. I ragazzi che si erano uniti alla famigerata “Family”, lo consideravano un leader religioso e Manson avvalorava questa tesi sostenendo di essere la reincarnazione di Gesù Cristo e di Satana allo stesso tempo. La “Family” era nota per la pratica di sesso di gruppo e viveva in una sorta di atipica cultura hippy che però invece di ispirarsi a principi di pace e di uguaglianza, era conosciuta per l’odio razziale e la predisposizione all’uso della violenza messa in atto in occasione dei numerosi furti e rapine con cui si sostentava soprattutto per l’acquisto di hashish e LSD di cui i membri della setta facevano un uso massiccio. Proprio le droghe, unite a menti già molto disturbate, causò una escalation della violenza che ebbe il suo picco il 9 agosto 1969, quando Manson pianificò un assalto alla villa del regista Roman Polanski nel quartiere esclusivo Cielo Drive di Los Angeles. Charles Manson non partecipò attivamente alla strage all’interno della abitazione, ma di fatto ordinò ai suoi “seguaci” Charles «Tex» Watson, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel e Linda Kasabian di compiere il massacro in cui morirono, trucidate in una spietata mattanza, 7 persone tra cui la moglie del regista Sharon, all’ottavo mese di gravidanza. Roman Polansky si salvò perché al momento dell’irruzione si trovava a Londra dove aveva da poco terminato di girare il film “Rosemary’s Baby”. Alla fine della mattanza, i membri della setta lasciarono all’interno della casa delle scritte fatte con il sangue delle vittime. Tra queste resta celebre “Helter Skelter”, espressione a cui Manson attribuiva il significato “fine del mondo”, oltre che titolo di una canzone di “Beatles”. Il giorno dopo di questo massacro i seguaci di Manson commisero altri due atroci delitti. Vennero uccisi infatti, con oltre quaranta colpi di forchetta alla testa ognuno, l’imprenditore Leno LaBianca e sua moglie Rosemary. L’ultimo delitto attribuito a Manson e alla sua setta fu quello di un membro della stessa “Family” Donald Shea, colpevole di aver sposato una donna nera. Il suo cadavere fu fatto a pezzi, i resti impacchettati e gettati nel letto di un torrente. Manson aveva 83 anni e stava scontando l'ergastolo per sette condanne per omicidio e una condanna per tentato omicidio. Secondo quanto riferito dalle autorità carcerarie della California, è morto per cause naturali. Manson era in carcere dal 1971 e nel periodo tra il 1978 e il 2012 aveva presentato ben 12 richieste di scarcerazione, tutte rifiutate. Nel 2014 era stato vicino al matrimonio con la 26enne Afton Elaine Burton con cui intratteneva da nove anni una relazione epistolare. Il matrimonio saltò all’ultimo momento in quanto Manson, aiutato anche dai familiari, si era accorto in tempo che il vero obiettivo di Afton Elaine Burton era sposarsi con Charles Manson, aspettare la sua morte e creare un mausoleo in plexiglass in California, ovviamente a pagamento. Un business che avrebbe arricchito oltre a lei anche io suo vero compagno con cui aveva ideato il diabolico piano. Charles Manson durante il processo in seguito al quale fu condannato, registrò diverse canzoni, ed un suo album venne pubblicato nel 1970, con il titolo “Lie”. Molti brani presenti sul brano sono stati in seguito reinterpretatiti sotto forma di “cover” da diversi artisti. I Guns N’ Roses, nel 1994 hanno registrato una loro versione del pezzo Look at Your Game, Girl, mentre gli altri che si sono ispirati a Manson per la loro musica sono: GG Allin, Rob Zombie e chiaramente Marilyn Manson, che oltre alla sua musica a attinto anche al suo nome. Infine, particolare poco conosciuto, nel 1994 Trent Reznor, membro e mente del gruppo Nine Inch Nails, ha registrato il famoso album The Downward Spiral proprio nella casa di Cielo Drive in cui sono stati compiuti i famosi omicidi. L’improvvisato studio di registrazione venne chiamato Le Pig, come uno dei messaggi scritti con il sangue delle vittime sui muri, e vi fu registrato anche l’album di debutto dello stesso Marilyn Manson.

Charles Manson, wild-eyed leader of a cult "family" who killed seven people in a bloody rampage in Los Angeles that shocked the nation in 1969, died of natural causes Sunday, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

Manson, 83, had struggled with gastrointestinal problems and been shuttled back and forth to hospitals in recent years. He had been serving multiple life sentences at California's Corcoran State Prison.

The ghastly "Tate-LaBianca killings" — a murderous blend of 60s sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll — were carried out over two nights in upscale Los Angeles neighborhoods. Manson did not actually participate in the killings, but directed them.

Vincent Bugliosi, who prosecuted the Manson case and later wrote a bestselling book, Helter Skelter, about the killings, said in 2009 that the "very name 'Manson' has become a metaphor for evil," The Los Angeles Times reported.

"He has come to represent the dark and malignant side of humanity, and for whatever reason, there is a side of human nature that is fascinated by pure, unalloyed evil," he said.

Among the victims butchered on Manson's orders on the first night of carnage, Aug. 8, 1969, were actress Sharon Tate, 26, the pregnant wife of movie director Roman Polanski, coffee heiress Abigail Folger, 25, celebrity hair stylist Jay Sebring, 35, writer Wojciech Frykowski, 32, and Steven Parent, a teenager visiting the house in Benedict Canyon, above Sunset Blvd.

The Manson "family" killers, including protege Charles "Tex" Watson, Susan Atkins and Patricia Krenwinkel, shot their victims and stabbed them more than 100 times. Before leaving, they wrote the word "pig" in blood on the front door.

Manson, in comments to his followers, dubbed the rampage "Helter Skelter," after the Beatles song of the same name, and said he wanted the murders to start to a race war by leaving clues pointing to black killers.

The house previously belonged to Terry Melcher, a TV and record producer who once declined to sign Manson, an aspiring musician-songwriter, to a contract. Although Melcher no longer lived at the house in late summer 1969, Manson sent his cult followers to the location to kill anyone there.

On the second night, two other "family" members, Leslie Van Houten and Steve "Clem" Grogan, accompanied the original band of killers to the Los Feliz neighborhood in L.A. There they stabbed to death Leno LaBianca, a wealthy supermarket executive, and his wife, Rosemary.

Charles Manson through the years

Manson, then 34, had been unhappy with the "messy" operation at the Tate house and gave precise instructions for the second killings, instructing his followers to bind the couple with lamp cords and cover their heads with pillowcases before stabbing them repeatedly.

Manson and the five members of his “family” were convicted in 1971 of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. They were all sentenced to death. The verdicts were commuted to life when the death penalty was briefly outlawed the following year.

Another member of the cult, Linda Kasabian, had driven the killers to the LaBianca house because she was the only person with a valid driver's license, according to The Los Angeles Times. She received immunity for testifying against the group.

Bugliosi, the prosecutor, said the Manson "family" — which operated out of an abandoned ranch in the Mojave Desert— was likely responsible for as many as 35 killings in and around Los Angeles.

In the trial, Bugliosi denounced Manson as the “dictatorial maharajah of a tribe of bootlicking slaves.”

During the seven-month trial, Manson continued to hold sway over his cult members, both in the courtroom and outside the building. Some of the young defendants giggled and sang during the proceedings. At one point, Manson arrived in court with an "x" carved in his forehead. His "family" followed suit the next day.

In testimony at his trial, Manson denied the charges and described himself as a chameleon-like character: "Charlie never projects himself ... People see in Charlie their own reflection ... Linda Kasabian testified against me because she saw me as the father she never liked ... I do what love tells me."

Jeff Guinn, author of The Life and Times of Charles Manson said his two-year research into Manson's background, including interviews with his relatives, debunks any notion of Manson as mystical or magical figure.

"He's a gifted psychopath who's a talented liar who's lied about just about everything," he told USA TODAY in 2013.

"I recognize Manson as an intelligent man," Guinn said. "He's uneducated but he's not stupid, but from his childhood he's been a violent con artist; that has never changed. But I do not consider him in any way insane. Which makes what he did even more horrifying."

In prison, Manson was denied parole 12 times. At one hearing, the parole board commissioner said Manson, who turned the mark on his forehead into a swastika, had amassed more than 100 serious disciplinary violations, including threatening a police officer, possession of weapons and possession of a cellphone.

In 2014, Manson obtained a marriage license to wed Afton Elaine Burton, a 26-year-old fan. But the license later expired without the pair marrying.

Manson, then named Charles Milles Maddox, was born in Cincinnati in 1934 to a single, 16-year-old girl involved in petty crime and prostitution, according to Biography.

In a lengthy interview with Tom Snyder more than 35 years ago, Manson recounted spending most of his early years in jail and reform schools.

"I never thought I was normal, never tried to be normal," he said. At the schools, he said he had to "lay down and get my ass whipped until I couldn't walk."

Manson recalled a dysfunctional childhood in which his mother once hit a man with a bottle, then grabbed her son and fled for Indiana. A drifter in and out of jail and reform school for crimes such as theft and check forgery, Manson eventually made his way to the West Coast where he served 10 years in Washington state prison for pimping and passing stolen checks.

After his release, he drifted south to California, attracting scores of followers, mostly dropouts and misfits on the streets of San Francisco. He eventually settled down with a hard-core group of followers, mostly young girls, at a deserted ranch in the San Fernando Valley where he held court with a mix of drugs, group sex and homegrown prophecies, portraying himself as Jesus Christ.

Over the years, Manson fathered at least two sons, including Charles Milles Manson, Jr., who killed himself with a shotgun on a desolate road in Colorado in 1993, CNN reported. The younger Manson son, Jason Freeman, who changed his name to avoid the "family curse" of being named Manson, said he believed his brother "couldn't live down who his father was."
