Summary

On August 8th, 1969, intruders broke into the upscale home of movie producer Roman Polanski and his 8 and a half months pregnant wife, actress Sharon Tate. On that night, the intruders savagely murdered Tate, along with 4 others. Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, Wojtek Frykowski, and Steven Parent. The killers were Susan Atkins, Linda Kasabian, Patricia Krenwinkel, and led by a man named Tex Watson. They were all there at the direction of Charles Manson… their messiah and head of their quasi-commune, later known to the world as The Manson Family. The following night, Leslie Van Houten and Clem Grogan joined the 4 killers from the previous night, and the 6 of them slaughtered supermarket executive Leno LaBianca and his wife Rosemary. It would take months for the two murder crime scenes to be connected by police, but when they were, the world soon found out about the cult of about 50 people living out at Spahn Ranch. They believed that Charles Manson was a manifestation of Jesus Christ, and that his prophecies about an apocalyptic race war were soon to come true. In this first part, hear about the early life of Charles Manson, how he became to be who he was, what motivated him, and why he wanted the people at 10050 Cielo Drive dead.

0:56.3	Today's episode, as you can imagine, is not going to be brief. I guess you could binge it if you
1:02.4	wanted to, but it's about the Manson family. I think maybe literally everyone in this country
1:07.8	has heard about Charles Manson and the cult family that he collected
1:12.1	and carried out a series of murders with. Because there are so many different characters,
1:17.4	so many details, so much to talk about, this episode, along with the next one, is not going to be
1:24.0	10 minutes. There's really no way possible to tell the Manson family story
1:28.4	in 10 minutes. I've gotten so many requests to talk about Charles Manson that I can't not talk
1:34.6	about also the Manson family. And in doing that, you have to talk about how Charles Manson grew up,
1:40.9	what motivated him, his history of crime before he collected his cult following,
1:47.3	and then what happened after. So, I mean, I suppose I could have done 10 minutes on Charles
1:52.3	Manson, but I don't think it would have been worth listening to. It would have been just stuff
1:56.5	that you already know. So this is part one of the Manson family. You people have done everything in the world to me.
