- As time goes by, information that was once seen as fact may become irrelevant. The 1969 murders by the Manson Family is a case in point. Journalist Tom O’Neill revisits the murders in his book CHAOS, reassessing a perplexing case involving not only Hollywood celebrities and cult leader Charles Manson but also the shocking role of the CIA in hiding the truth.
O’Neill finds holes within the narrative already established by prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi in his book Helter Skelter, visiting aspects of the story that were left untouched. O’Neill ended up spending twenty years of his life chasing clues in order to get as close as possible to the truth.
In March 1999, Tom O’Neill, a freelance journalist, hadn't worked in months. He had moved out to California when an editor for US magazine called him and gave him the opportunity to write a 30th anniversary Manson piece. The magazine wanted a 5,000-word piece, within three months, and the first thing Tom did was read Helter Skelter. The 2001 book was written by Vincent Bugliosi, the prosecuting attorney for the case, to present his account of the murders.
Reading the book, Tom felt that the murders looked like a picture-perfect puzzle where everything seemed to be in place. Tom also knew that detectives usually look for a motive behind a crime, but there appeared to be no motive for Charles Manson to tell four of his followers to go murder some movie stars. Yet on August 9, 1969, members of the Manson Family - Tex Watson, Susan Atkins, and Patricia Krenwinkel - entered the home of Hollywood actress Sharon Tate on 10500 Cielo Drive and murdered her and four others. Family member Linda Kasabian was present but did not take part.
The group of hippies rolled up to the house and shot the guard out front four times. Nobody on Cielo Drive heard. They then broke in through the dining room window. The victims were Sharon Tate, who was eight and a half months pregnant; celebrity hairdresser Jay Sebring; coffee heiress Abigail Folger and her boyfriend, aspiring screenwriter Wojciech Frykowski; and Steven Parent, an 18-year-old visitor. The hairstylist was shot twice, then stabbed repeatedly. Tate’s womb was stabbed 16 times. Frykowski was stabbed 51 times, and he had two bullet wounds and thirteen blows to the head. Folger was stabbed 28 times. Parent was shot four times.
The following night, Leno LaBianca, a grocery store owner, and his wife, Rosemary, were killed by Manson and Watson. The two broke into their home, carved “War” into LaBianca’s stomach, and stabbed him 26 times. His wife had 41 wounds. However, the police at first deemed the Tate and LaBianca murders unrelated.
On December 1, Ed Davis, the Los Angeles police chief at the time, said the Barker movie ranch, a property used by Manson and his Family, was home to killers in one of the biggest press conferences ever called for a court case. The official story said the killers were at the Barker Ranch, 200 miles northwest of LA.
In the 1960s, young people hitchhiked everywhere. The story of Manson and the murders worried people who were sending their kids to college where they often became hippies.
Manson was not charged with murder right away despite the evidence. His story was being told in the news. It was all about how Manson was in juvenile detention when he was 16, and had a wife and a kid by age 17. He moved out to San Pedro, California, where he started pimping women and stealing cars before disappearing to Mexico for a short while. From age 17, Manson had been under surveillance by the FBI, though they didn’t have a warrant. Manson dabbled in Scientology while going in and out of the prison system. He picked up the guitar and got decently good. He began having followers and grew out his hair.
The Tate and LaBianca murder trial started in July 1970, and Manson was suspected to be having acid flashbacks during the seven months of trial. He was making weird faces with an “x” carved into his forehead, and the freak show was massively covered by the media, which made it a huge stage onto which someone could push a certain narrative.
This Charles Manson documentary is based on the book CHAOS by Tom O'neill.
Mansons file which contained over 14 arrests and charges while he was on parole was looked at by a judge who worked during that time . The judge said of course he should’ve been sent back to prison breaking parole but he said “ obviously Manson was more valuable out of jail “. That right there tells you the why it happened .
Any CIA agent that has lost their life on duty, was lost as a traitor, not a hero.
That’s a pretty ignorant thing to say. Any agent, under any mission whatsoever even if it’s justifiable and actually helping people? Not everything is so black and white like you think it is, does the CIA do some horrible shit and have they? Of course, and it’s fucked. But acting like every mission is a mission of treason is absurd and childish
why did you speed up tom´s interview 😫
There's definitely a lot left out of the public record story, things we will never know. The government is very sus throughout the story.
Its like Kennedys' assassination or September/ 11, in that we may never have the full picture or know the full story when it comes to this case🤔
@@caveman3021
I mean, there's no "smoking gun" written down in a secret file anywhere, but....do ya' need it??
It honestly doesn't take THAT much research to get a clear picture about what happened in regards to any of those events...
@@caveman3021 and Jan 6th
O’Neill said Bugliosi was a corrupt prosecutor. Who (the hell) was he suppose to prosecute? The CIA? THAT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE. EVER! The CIA is beyond the reach of the elected government
manson didn't help tex kill the labianca's; it was leslie and pat.
Well he did cos he went in & tied them up ready for the understand so really he did have a part in it nit actually killing them but preparing them.
@@sharonletchford9375 true
@@sharonletchford9375 exactly! And why did he tie them up and leave the rest to it? No other reason than plausible deniability
There is no real proof that Manson even went in there and tied them up, the girls could have been coerced into saying that, on one interview with Manson the interviewer asked him if he went in the house and tied them up,he said"No".
@@Joseph-eu6jp Manson himself said he spoke to Leno labianca so he was in that house.
they speeded up Tom O'Neills speaking voice
Its not " BOOGGLIOSI " its "BOOlIOSI" The G is silent .
Now that `s Italian !
Melcher should have warned Sharon that he had been threatened by Manson, she could have got police protection if he had for Gibbie Voytek and Bill Garretson
That’s because melcher was never in danger as to why he didn’t warn Tate . Melcher met up with Manson 3 times after the murders .
The manson familly called and told tate not to be there. But they disregarded the warning.
@@country4lyfe365 Sharon should have listened to the warning and gone to stay with her friend Shiela, Voytek and Abigail should have gone home and Garretson too
I hate all the BS about Charlie targeting Melcher's old house because he wanted to kill Melcher or get revenge for not signing him. Melcher told reporters that he received a letter from Charlie at his beach home in Malibu. That happened sometime after Manson had tried to pay him a home visit (when he had already moved) and came across Sharon Tate. So if Charlie really wanted to whack Melcher, he knew exactly where to find him. As for having a personal vendetta towards Melcher. There are better ways to take revenge on someone than to kill the people presently at their former residence. I mean seriously, how was that even suppose to hurt Melcher?
@@country4lyfe365 your source?
Manson was their drug guru ,they were on drugs when they committed these horrible crimes.
They speeded up the Tom footage, speeding up his voice.
Wouldn't that have made it a higher pitch?
O’Neill says that Terry Melcher went to see Manson after the murders and literally got on his knees and begged Manson for forgiveness. If that were true then what prosecutor in his right mind would not want Melcher to testify to that in court, That would help to develop motive
Steve Parent was a courier in the narcotics scene and went to that house to make a delivery that evening. He didn’t go to a property he had never before set foot on at midnight on a Friday night to try and sell a clock radio.
Very interesting!
This isn’t true. There’s no evidence of this claim and if you have it you should point to it or retract your statement.
How do you no?
🙄🤡
Speculation. Gay men will drive to a residence they’ve never actually step foot on for a possible hook up. Garretson was tricking atlobelli to stay there , he could’ve flirted with parent leaving that impression or parent who spent time in Judi hall for fencing stereo equipment. Parent may have hoped to sell a clock radio from his work place. And or a hook up. If he was a drug delivery boy Watson sure got there in time. I suggest parent was last to die.parents car was banged up in back fleeing in reverse hitting the fence overlooking the canyon. Nomonewantsto address this.also parent went unidentified for 12-18 hrs when he had his drivers license in his wallet easy to identify. Watson thought he killed the guesthouse owner when he’s not parent 4 x.
Azbury 😆 "Acquired a house in Haight Azbury" 😆 He lived in a garage.....
Watnick : "They wanted him out. He (Manson) was more important to somebody out than in. You gotten find out who it was."
O'Neill : "How do I do that?"
Watnick : "You are not going to be able to"
Huh? This is definable a hole in O'Neill's or the Watnick's story.
Why does nobody ask the most obvious question about her father? They all but spoonfeed it to you and you still can't see a clue staring you in the face
A bad seed from the start. He wasn’t the KNOWN murderer (Tate/LaBiance) but he did murder others not really mentioned in the main stream news. He was an outlaw
Last names were butchered so bad it feels personal.
Great video!🙂
Thanks for posting 👍
And you!! YOU were on a horsey!
More speculation than fact, coming from a man who had been a Hollywood gossip reporter
Manson was in FBI custody in 1960 in Texas… yet the FBI claims to have no record of it.
Where did you get the info re Tx?
From the June 2, 1960 edition of the Laredo Times newspaper. I’d post the link, but TH-cam doesn’t allow links in the comments section.
That's some scitso narration.
Very informative. Thank you.
Why is Tom's interview with Rogan sped up?
Very well made and informative, nice job
Thank you!
manson didnt kill anyone in these two murder sprees ... if your gonna make a video do some research
Aspiring = unemployed
Or bum, however you want to say it.
Does prosecutors full of s***
Tex
Very well done.
Thank you!
One of the most interesting and puzzling details of this case is how hatami was notified of Sharon's murder almost 2 hrs before Winifred Chapman discovered the bodies
Cass Elliot discovered them. She drove down there in her golf cart. She was ultimately killed when she started talking a few years later. That place was grand central that night. The bodies were moved, supposedly by Manson later that night. All the people that didn't show for the " party" aka orgee, knew. Robert Evans (head of Paramount), Steve McQueen, etc. McQueen was a regular partner of hers at the "parties".
@@nonyabiz550where are you getting this information from. Of course we all have heard the rumors about a party and that Cass Elliott went there but none of this has ever been proven. There's no proof the bodies were even moved, manson never admitted to it, although I believe the evidence supports the theory that the bodies were moved. It is a fact however that hatami was notified hours before the police discovered the bodies.
@@Ryan-Kako Deductive reasoning mostly. Paul Tate had to have known too, don't you think? Everybody in town was talking about the sick stuff going on there and his buddy, Reeve, was on site. She had to be working for the same ones her father did, IMO. Why else would she be making blackmail tapes,having sex so indiscriminately and be willing to walk around with such severe VD?
@@Ryan-Kako Go watch the very first news conference at Cielo with the cop and Noguchi. He says, 'She IS pregnant'. Just file it away.
@@nonyabiz550 I'm very familiar with that news conference. I'm not sure what that proves. Maybe refresh my memory, I'm involved in so many conversations on here regarding this topic. We're we talking about hatami getting notified hours b4 Chapman even arrived?
Leno and rosemary were killed because Leno gambler owed money why killed Sharon was killed because it's was Jay's baby
This is a great video!
Thank you!
True
Manson was innocent you people screwed him over big time
🤡🙄
Let me guess Cindylou.. ur a dude.
