It was 40 years ago that a group of young people led by Charles
Manson sent a wave of terror through the hills and valleys of the
Los Angeles area.
Manson, then 34, and a group of followers known as "the Family "
were convicted for killing seven people, including Hollywood
starlet Sharon Tate, who was more than eight months pregnant with
husband Roman Polanski's son.
On Aug. 8, 1969, Manson instructed Susan Atkins, Patricia
Krenwinkel and Leslie Van Houten to kill everyone at the L.A. home
rented by Tate. Later that day, Manson instructed his followers to
strike again. Members entered the Los Feliz home of Leno and
Rosemary LaBianca and killed the couple.
The gory slayings left the public stunned. The group was given life
sentences. They have spent most of their adult lives behind bars,
some claiming they have renounced their devotion to Manson.
