The Manson murders mostly are remembered as two events that occurred 50 years ago this month: the killing of actress Sharon Tate and four others in Benedict Canyon and then the butchering of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca in Los Feliz.
But cold-case investigators and others long have believed that Charles Manson and his cult followers were responsible for many more deaths.
The Los Angeles Police Department officially has a dozen unsolved homicide cases linked to Manson. And there are additional slayings outside the jurisdiction that some believe to be the work of his “family.” Some of those ties seem more plausible than others, but all have been extensively examined and theorized — as are all things involving Manson.
The supposed suicide of one Manson follower’s boyfriend in England. The drowning of an attorney whom Manson declared during the middle of his trial he never wanted to see again. A young man killed during a game of Russian roulette with family members present. Two young women stabbed to death off Mulholland Drive and a couple of young Scientology followers who met a similar fate.
Manson “repeatedly” said many others were killed, said Cliff Shepard, a former LAPD Robbery-Homicide Division detective who worked some of those cold cases. “We may never know or identify all their victims.”
In all, Manson and his followers were convicted of nine murders — the Tate and LaBianca attacks plus the slayings of musician Gary Hinman and stuntman and ranch hand Donald “Shorty” Shea.

We could have..oh skip it the Earth is a cleaner place now that he gone.
“Now that he dead and gone?”
He isn’t the only Family member that was locked up, and some of them are probably coming up for parole soon.
I just watched a program on TV about this. I wasn’t paying attention so missed a lot but one was a really pretty girl.
Many leftist elites have some version of Manson’s mindset; trying to instigate a race war hoping to rule the aftermath.
Now that he’s dead and gone his so called ART is being exhibited.
God Help US!
Leslie won parole by the board but the gov of california denied it. She’s the most remorseful of them.
All three of those girls became normal again after three years in jail. After the drugs wore off and the brainwashing did too.
I read that Susan Atkins became a born again Christian in the 70’s sure hope her conversion was real as she passed a few years back.
Don’t know about the other two, I do know they preach a totally different tune than Sandra Good and Squeeky Fraume.
Well if those ladies are truly repentant they’d speak up about other murders wouldn’t they.
“two events that occurred 50 years ago this month”
1969 was a crazy year! The Jets win the Superbowl against all odds, the Mets win the World Series against all odds, the Celtics win the NBA Finals not really against all odds, but as underdogs, Nixon takes office, then in August alone: Woodstock sees hippie culture reach its apex, Manson means the end of hippie culture, Abbey Road, and so very much more.
By the way, if you are willing to tolerate the actor POS Leonardo di Caprio, the new movie with POS and Brad Pitt and Al Pacino called Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is pretty good.
Fictional two buddies — and actor and his stuntman personal assistant -— do studio work and hang out as buddies in LA with a tangential story line of neighbor Roman Polanski with Sharon Tate, and another tangential line of Squeaky Fromme and some cute chick and a bunch of hippie girls and a couple of dudes in the communal Manson family. Story lines connect at the ending in a...
A violent R rated Tarantino film. Set in 1969 LA / Hollywood.
—agree-I have to hold my nos about DeCrappio but it was a great movie-—
1969 was a crazy year!
and it was the best year for Camaro.
Manson was as evil as they come.
Diabolical little turd.
I see one in my area running around.
Beautiful car.
Agreed! Not to mention the Pontiac GTO!
Crazy Charlie should have been fried. He’s dead now. If there is any justice after death he’s getting it now
We bought my wife a 68 Camaro convertible, red and white with racing stripes and a spoiler from her brother.
It survived 2 teens, who occasionally drove it.
We had Midas replace the transmission.
When California, took the lead out of gasoline, a friend who was considered the best motor tuner in our area, predicted that the old engine would collapse.
It did and we put a rebuilt one in.
She broke her right wrist and a few fingers on that hand. She had a hand and wrist cast and brace for months. She could not shift gears. She quietly put her baby up for sale.
Families with teen drivers didn’t qualify. A retired patient bought it and had it for years until it became an estate sale item.
They would have been paroled but they killed hollywood actors.
“All three of those girls became normal again after three years in jail. After the drugs wore off and the brainwashing did too.”
Lots of people play a good game of having “reformed” when they want to get out of prison, but I don’t know if I would want any of these people ever running the streets again, having committed the kinds of crimes that they did.
I know a trustworthy person who says that one of the guys is quite remorseful as well. This person visits him in. It is good to see that God redeems even those who have committed the most depraved acts.
