In the desert of California in the late 60s, a cult of evil led by Charles Manson, was preparing to carry out one of the bloodiest killings of the twentieth century .
Drugs and the manipulative power of the founder of the Manson family motivated the young members to kill 7 people, with the intention of unleashing a racial war called by its founder as Helter Skelter. What happened to the members of this sect? This is how their lives went after perpetual barbarism.
The Manson family today
Susan Atkins
This was one of the most faithful followers of Charles Manson , willing to do anything to get the approval of his leader, even giving his life for his 'messiah' if necessary.
Susan Atkins, troublemaker and LSD addict, became a member of the Manson family at age 19.I actively participate in the homicides of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca .I also confess to having slashed actress Sharon Tate by stabbing for being "tired of hearing her begging and pleading" so she wouldn't hurt her neither to her nor to the 8-month-old baby she had in her womb.

For his involvement in 7 murders, was sentenced to death on March 29, 1971.A sentence that although he could not be applied by the prison system, due to the commutation of the death penalty for the life imprisonment in California in 1972 , life itself would be responsible for executing it later with an aggressive brain cancer that affected 85% of his mobility and ended with his existence at 61 years.
Mary Brunner
Mary Brunner was the first member of the Manson family and a key piece in the recruitment of the rest of the sect affiliates that overshadowed California in times of 'peace and love'.
Before meeting Charles Manson in 1967, Brunner worked as a librarian in Wisconsin, but shortly after their meetings, the woman from 21 years would abandon everything and blindly follow the crazy ideas of the founder of the sect, with whom maintained a relationship, which resulted in a son, Valentine Manson. Both left in search of the 'family' with which they would carry out the brutal massacres, in which That Brunner allegedly had no direct participation.Except for the murder of Gary Allen Hinman that he did have his presence.

Brunner was arrested and imprisoned with other members of the Manson family in 1969.However, unlike the The rest, he had judicial immunity for the murder of Hinman.I testify against his cooperators, thus cutting his sentence to six years in prison, for the charges of armed robbery, theft of a credit card and indecent exposure.
Upon leaving the women's correctional in 1977, Mary Brunner changed her name and never knew about her.
Charles 'Tex' Watson
Charles Watson happened to be a promise from soccer, a student with merits in high school in Texas, to become a murderer of the Manson family.
On August 8, 1969 he was placed in an address occupied by the to actress Sharon Tate, Abigail Folger, Wojciech Frykowski and Jay Sebring, in the company of other family members.That night he shot Sebring and tied him up and aimed him at Folger and Sharon Tate.True to Manson's orders, hands Watson's blood stained again the next day with the murder of businessman Leno LaBianca and his wife Rosemary.

Like the rest of the family members, he was sentenced to capital punishment, later replaced by chain perpetual.And although he has been imprisoned since 1971, behind the bars he was able to continue his life, marrying and having four children. On the other hand, he became minister of a religious order created by him prison, far away from Manson's vision that I have rectified a few decades ago, considering it “destructive.”
Bruce Davis
Davis was the mastermind behind the operation of the Manson family.In his charge was the assignment of false ID cards with which the members of the The sect also distributed the stolen credit cards used to finance the cult of Manson.

He was charged with the murder of Donald Jerome Shea and was present in some of the murders perpetrated by followers of the sect.At 74, he remains in prison, serving a life sentence.For decades he claims to be a 'new' man, converted to Christianity, with a PhD in philosophy under his belt.
Davis He has long fought for probation, but each of his petitions has been revoked especially by Governor Edmund G.Brown, who considers it ra “a danger to society.”
Lynette «Squeaky» Fromme
The use of drugs and alcohol influenced Lynette Fromme to distance herself from a promising career as a dancer who I take her to appear in the White House and take a tour of the United States and Europe, to approach the Spahn Ranch with family members, welcomed by Charles Manson with his apocalyptic philosophy.

Fromme did not participate in the murders of Tate and LaBianca, but he was with other followers of the cult outside the courthouse in support of his trial partners and in attempts to prevent the imprisonment of Manson. For this reason he went to prison for a short time Even so, his destiny would not be different from that of the other followers of Manson's bloodthirsty family punished by justice.
In 1975 also be He was sentenced to life imprisonment, although for different reasons.Fromme tried to assassinate US President Gerald Ford with a 45-caliber pistol.However, despite his violent attitude and links with extremist groups , in 2009 he was granted parole and has been released since then.
Patricia Krenwinkel
She became the inmate with the longest stay in the California women's jail after Atkins' death in 2009.

Patricia Krenwinkel, responsible for assassinating Abigail Folder and participating in the murder of the LaBianca, has had opportunities to get out of prison under parole for her profile of good conduct within jail.But society has not been able to forget the crimes of a bestial nature in which it was involved .Much less the cynical smiles that adorned the faces of Patricia, Susan Atkins and Leslie Van Houten during the trial, despite the terror and pain they caused to the victims and relatives.
Clem Grogan
For the Manson family, Glem Grogan was a poorly respected “fool”, despite being one of the oldest members of the sect.Perhaps that is why Grogan was ordered to wait in the car during the murders.

Except for the murder of Donald «Shorty» Shea in 1969, actor, whose body dismembered by Grogan, Manson and Davis was found by the police in 1977, with the help of Grogan himself.For this crime he was sentenced to capital punishment, later replaced with life imprisonment, after Judge James Kolts alleged that Grogan was "too stupid" and "drug addict" to kill someone for vol untad own.In 1985 she was released from prison and dedicated to music.
Linda Kasabian
Linda Kasabian was abandoned by her husband when she was waiting for her second child.until a friend talked to him about a ranch inhabited by a group of hippies.Alli went on July 4, 1969 and met the Manson family.
Her job was to watch and wait outside the raided houses by the sect members, but I never participate in the murders. Kasabian awoke from the spell of Charles Manson and the family when I hear the cries of the victims being killed in Sharon Tate's house.Two days later of these crimes he decided to leave for New Mexico.

Kasabian was not charged with any of these charges by serving as a cooperator in the family's trial.In subsequent years he suffered harassment by the media, however he preferred to keep a Low profile refusing to offer interviews.It was not until 2009 that he agreed to participate in the documentary Manson , although protecting his face to avoid being recognized today.
Most former members of the Manson family have shown regret for having been part of all this madness devised by Charles Manson, justifying their acts with the excessive use of psychoactive substances, which abounded in meetings at Rancho Spahn where sinister plans were orchestrated.
