She is! Dead is the word for it, since Susan Atkins died in 2009.
I have a tenuous connection to Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme. I used to manage the Olde Sacrament Armoury, a gun shop on 22nd and J Street in Sacramento. She was living near the shop and would come in wearing her red monk's robe, looking completely crazy. . . and I would kick her out at least twice a week. As a convicted felon, she had no business being in a gun shop. . . and she was looney!
The last time I kicked her out was the morning of the day in September 1975 when she attempted to assassinate President Gerald Ford with a Colt .45 Automatic — but she never got off a shot because, although she had a loaded magazine, there was no round in the chamber. Years later she claimed she had deliberately ejected the chambered round that morning.
Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme was in Alderson, West Virginia. I remember she she escaped and was caught. This is the same joint Martha Stewart was put in. I find it strange she and that other chick was let out but the other three are still in.
Really interesting story. And on the day she headed out to kill President Ford, too.
