NYT: A young woman was viciously stabbed to death, her body found in 1969 not far from the notorious murders by Charles Manson’s band of followers. For decades, the circumstances led people to wonder about the woman known only as Jane Doe 59: Was she another victim of the cultlike group? more
There are probably many, many more.
“while leaving open, if only narrowly, the possibility that Mr. Manson played a part in her death.”
I’m going out on a limb her and say sense she was stabbed 120 times and found right up the road from where the Manson crew murdered Sharon Tate it’s not all that narrow of a possibility.
A while back I read something, somewhere that tied A murder cult to mind control experimental drugs supposedly under the control of CIA or some such. I read a few hours worth of stuff. Does anyone know if it was the Manson group that was the subject of such articles or not? I have no opinion on this, but it sounds interesting or is it just tin foil hat stuff?
Manson is exhibit “A” for why the death penalty is perfectly reasonable justice when there is absolutely NO doubt as to the culpability of the accused.
@Plain Jane – You may be referring to MKUltra, a CIA program (illegal, BTW) investigating uses of LSD. You’ll find tons of stuff on the ‘net about that program, so much that it suggests the possibility that MKUltra was deliberately leaked and reported in order to draw attention away from other CIA projects, also mostly illegal. You will certainly find a bunch of tinfoil hat stuff mixed throughout, but that’s yet another way TPTB discredit investigations where unwanted.
I don’t recall a specific connection between MKUltra and any murder cult, especially not Manson, but this is an area I have never really spent a lot of effort looking into. It is quite nasty stuff.
hard left wing violence needs to be dealt with right away, chucky and all his followers should be executed NOW
Thank you Uncle Al. That was it, now that you reminded me. I would like to know more about it but don’t have much time to invest in trying to sort the reasonable from the ridiculous and figure out which is which. Wish someone would just make a documentary (factual please) about it.
Darn, my bucket list is so long now, I may never finish it. 🙂
I read “Helter Skelter” by Vincent Bugliosi, the prosecutor of Manion, years ago. I do not wish to revisit it.
That’s the one time I had respect for Geraldo Rivera, when he interviewed Manson in prison and Manson said to him (from memory)
Manson: What if I up and kick the piss out of you right now?
Rivera: You and what army?
Maybe the authorities can ask the nice rehabilitated lady manson follower they are releasing from prison.
This is why it’s a fucking travesty for that piece of shit Leslie Van Houten to be paroled. She likely did more than one murder, and this is just more evidence of that.
Milhouses’ mother was in the Manson family?
