Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. He lived too long.

Tex Watson is still alive! Denied parole 18 time, but he gets another chance next month.

Even Gavin Newsom doesn’t want to go near that one.

I only knew of Tex Watson, Bobby Beausoleil and the crazy chicks. First I heard of this guy.

I read Helter Skelter also and I don’t remember the guy either.

You’re probably thinking of Danny DeCarlo, one of the Family’s connections to the Straight Satans motorcycle gang. Bruce Davis was their connection to Scientology headquarters in London.

I don’t think so. According to wiki he wasn’t there for the Tate–LaBianca murders.

Manson wanted him to go but he refused.....some right-hand man. 🙄

I remember when Manson finally croaked.

The news announced he died after being “rushed to the hospital.”

Seriously? Rushed? I would have been fine if the ambulance crew stopped for Slurpees.

He butchered the nine-months-pregnant Sharon Tate. They’ll pull for his release in Massachusetts.

The Manson “family” was quite a lot larger than most people realize. Only a few were involved in the murders. At least the ones they got busted for.

There are several unsolved murders in that time frame they are suspected of, that cannot be proven.
