Summary

We left off last week with the murder of Gary Hinman. Bobby Beausoliea was the one said to have murdered Hinman and when he was arrested Charlie was not happy. Nervous in fact. Thought that bobby’s arrest may point the finger at the rest of the family, mostly himself. And Charlie had plans that didn’t include that. Still wanting to be a rockstar but likely confidence dwindling in that category after Terry mulches said "no" to him….

He was good at the power of suggestion and manipulation…he was good at targeting and finding people men and women that would be susceptible to it. He was good at the art of the con. And if he wasn’t going to be a rockstar in 1969 he was going to become famous for something else.

Helter Skelter, his family of lost souls, his wayward insane personality that he would ride straight through until the end.

This is the story of the nights of August 8-10 1969, the murder that followed that, and death valley…the place they thought they were safe from all harm or punishment but the place that they would slip up, get caught, and stand trial for the murders that ended the summer of love.
