If he had died today, the New York Times would've run the headline,
ummm...i listed who went to the Tate-LaBianca homes.....duh.
Terry Melcher was hardly a Family member....
You forgot Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson, there are a couple of interviews from 1968/69 where he talks about Manson as his guru and living at Spahn’s Ranch with 14 girls and sex with 15 year olds. Hollywood and the music industry has been messed up for a long, long time.
That’s not the entire list. There were kids coming and going in addition to that group.
I had a classmate from high school who would run away from home and end up in Hollywood. This would have been fall 1968. He’d bounce back to OC and want us to go with him to hang out with what he called “the family”. To us it sounded something like a rock group so it must have been when Dennis Wilson was letting them live at his house.
A few years later I worked at an OC restaurant with a 20 something girl who barely spoke. She could speak, she just didn’t do it much. I asked her sister what was up with that, and she said “oh, Leslie used to live with the Manson family and they took too many drugs” which was easy to believe in her case.
