Although Charles Manson passed away in 2017, the tale surrounding him continues to resonate. Known as one of the most infamous cult leaders and criminals in U.S. history, Manson is primarily associated with the so-called “Manson Family Murders” that occurred in 1969. During this time, followers of Manson such as Charles “Tex” Watson, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel, and Linda Kasabian are believed to have murdered actress Sharon Tate, her unborn child, and Tate’s guests. The following night, the same group—which also included Manson himself and Family members Leslie van Houten and Steve “Clem” Grogan—carried out a similar attack on grocery business executive Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary, resulting in their deaths as well.
