RIP. Don’t know much about him but he started my love of true crime. I bought his Helter Skelter book when I was too young to be reading it, and when the phone rang I’d jump a foot while I was reading it. It being so close to home and all gave me even more creeps.
One time, within a few years of reading it, a friend and I were coming home from the beach, stopped to shop at a little second hand shop in Topanga canyon, and I asked to use the restroom. The proprietor said she didn’t have a restroom, but if I went out to the alley and to the left, there was a little primitive one stall bathroom behind another store. So I did, and when I closed the stall door, the back of it read in huge old, peeling, red paint HELTER SKELTER. Talk about hair standing up.
