Today is the 52nd anniversary of the brutal murders of Sharon Tate and her friends by members of the Manson Family.
On August 8th, 1969, Tex Watson, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel and and Linda Kasabian broke into the home of Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski and murdered Sharon Tate, who was pregnant and her guests that were there that night.
This set off a wave of terror in Los Angeles and there would be more murders from the Manson Family before they were finally caught and put in jail.
Below are six links to online articles about the Manson Family and a video link to a documentary about The Manson Women.
And then there’s the MBIP Coming Attractions as to what’s happening on the blog next week!
