Roast in pieces?

There's a cockroach that I'd never thought live to see dead.

I always told myself if I was able to start the thread on Manson's death, it would be "Charles Manson RIH." For "Rot in Hell." Feel free to change it to that if you like.

Good thinking.

This year seems to be especially bad for very, awful people.

I'm surprised they got it in. I didn't see it until about 12:45.

Helter Skelter is a fascinating read. There's also a good Netflix documentary that visits all the sites involved in the case 40 years or so later (some of which are largely untouched since the Mansons left).

EDIT: It's available on YouTube:

Former Fort Worth Star-Telegram reporter Jeff Guinn wrote a great book on Manson a few years ago. His in-depth reporting really made the book.

I've always been fascinated by the case, even more so in the last 4-5 years after I found out Patricia Krenwinkel was arrested a couple of miles from where I live.

A photographer at my last stop, now freelancing, got an assignment from AP to cover a trip by investigators to a ranch in Inyo County frequented by Manson to see if there may be any other bodies. Still looking for the stories, but here's some of his photos.

EDIT: Here's the story link.
Desert may hold more victims of Manson family murders

Corcoran was in the circulation area there, so naturally every now and then someone would remind others Manson may be reading their story.

I read Helter Skelter when I was about 10 (way too young!) because my friend's older sister had it. I've since read a bunch of books on Manson/the murders. The Jeff Guinn book Flip Wilson mentioned above was very well-done. Also, the You Must Remember This podcast series about the murders was interesting, too. I got a little Manson'd out for awhile but just started listening to the new Young Charlie podcast.

Just imagine if Manson had social media in 1968.
