Hidden away in her newly built California mansion, a young movie star surrounded herself with her closest and most socially upscale friends. The actress built the home in hopes that her and her lover, Roman Polanski, could raise their unborn child there; she was eight months pregnant. With Roman out of town, the lonely actress was protected by only her friends; an internationally known hair stylist, a coffee heiress, and her husband. A young and built groundskeeper stayed alone in the actress's guesthouse. The actress, known as Sharon Tate, had the life that many dreamed of, but no one could foresee what absolute horror was to frame Tate's life and death that late August night. .
One body was found beaten to death, another had several gunshot wounds. Tate's very pregnant body was found with a noose around her neck that went up around the ceiling and connected to the neck of another man. Like most of the other victims, she had been stabbed several times; the first few stab wounds killing her, and the last few mutilating her pregnant body. And that was only one of three nights of the killing spree.
The strange and twisted group of people responsible for these murders liked to call themselves "The Manson Family-. They were lead by Charles Manson; a misguided hippie who's ambitious yet perversely subjective leadership skills attracted the attention of the world. His unmistakable and innovative methods of assembling a "family- to mold and control may have been cruelly corrupt, but this cult hero was on the road to success before he was apprehended. If Manson had not been caught, there is no forecasting how many would have lost their lives; his control of members in this nation's society was mercifully short-lived. A leader is not measured by the decency or righteousness of their work, but by their ability to meet their objectives with victory. Although Manson's strategies were illicit, his lack of morality held no barge on his capacity to lead.
