The Manson murders shook America to its core in 1969. While much has been said about Charles Manson and the infamous Tate-LaBianca killings, today we turn our focus to one of his youngest and most tragic followers: Leslie Van Houten. From a picture-perfect suburban life to LSD-fueled cult devotion and brutal murder, Van Houten's story is one of manipulation, violence, and decades-long controversy. In this episode, Jamie and John take a deep dive into her journey through the Manson Family, her role in the LaBianca murders, the bizarre disappearance of her lawyer during trial, and the complicated road that led to her 2023 parole after more than 50 years behind bars. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

Scholar Dr. Anne Soon Choi has just written L.A. Coroner:Thomas Noguchi and Death in Hollywood, the first-ever biography of Dr. Tsunetomi "Thomas" Noguchi, the Chief Medical Examiner-Coroner of the County of Los Angeles from 1967 to 1982. Throughout his illustrious career, Dr. Noguchi conducted autopsies on some of the most high profile and controversial figures in American history, including Marilyn Monroe, Robert F. Kennedy, Sharon Tate and other victims of the Manson Family, Janis Joplin, John Belushi, and Natalie Wood. His elaborate press conferences, which often generated more controversy than they did answers, catapulted him into the public eye and made him a celebrity in his own right. He was the inspiration for the popular television drama Quincy, M.E. starring Jack Klugman, and penned the bestselling 1983 book Coroner.

You're supposed to be safe at home. Why wouldn't you be? And that sense of comfort must be even greater if “home” is a beautiful house you built yourself, where you live happily with your family in a town where you're successful and respected. You'd have no reason at all to think that someone was watching you with binoculars through the trees, their heart burning ever hotter with rage, ever closer to exploding with murderous fury. Join us for a story of madness and grandiose delusion, a case that rocked 1970s California almost as much as the Manson Family murders did.

Cass Elliot, AKA "Mama Cass" from The Mamas and The Papas, broke the mold of female pop superstardom and shattered expectations of what women in music “should” be. She also was arrested in London for theft, dated international drug dealers, and tanked what was supposed to be a career-defining solo performance while flying high on Iranian hashish. To this day, the biggest controversy swirling around the singer is her connection to the 1969 Manson Family murders. Her actions during the so-called “Summer of Love” might even be why the motive for the murders America has come to accept as fact…is actually entirely false.

The Manson murders have been told and retold—but rarely like this. In this special bonus episode, Anthony DiMaria, nephew of victim Jay Sebring, reveals the story behind the headlines.

In this gripping episode of Crime Time Inc., host Alex delves deep into the turbulent era of the 1960s to explore the complex social landscape that set the stage for one of history's most shocking crimes: the Manson Family murders. Episode 3, 'Charles Manson and The Summer of Love,' takes listeners on a journey from Charles Manson's release from prison in 1967 to his manipulative rise amidst the counterculture of Berkeley and Haight-Ashbury. Discover how Manson skillfully exploited the anti-war demonstrations, the growing racial tensions, the influence of the Black Panthers, and the psychedelic revolution to build his infamous 'family.' Through vivid storytelling, Alex paints a captivating picture of the societal upheaval and cultural milestones that allowed Manson to thrive. Special attention is given to the evolution of the student protest movements, the anti-establishment ethos, and the free-love philosophy that defined the Summer of Love. The episode also offers a detailed look at key figures like Mary Brunner, Lynette Fromme, and Susan Atkins, who became pivotal to Manson's plans. As always, join Tom and Simon as they discuss the intricate web of manipulations and societal trends that led to Manson's horrifying crimes.

The 1969 Manson Family killings gripped the nation for their sheer brutality and madness. But left unanswered is exactly how Charles Manson turned a group of hippies into assassins through mere persuasion. The book Helter Skelter says Manson convinced his followers of an impending race war, one they needed to be at the center of. But journalist Tom O'Neill uncovered loose connections between Manson and the head of the CIA's secret program MK-Ultra. He says the Manson murders read less like a spree killing and more like the LSD-fueled mind control experiments the government had been perfecting.From Oscar-winner Errol Morris and Netflix comes “CHAOS: The Manson Murders.” The director of “The Thin Blue Line” and “Wormwood” returns to the subject of MK-Ultra, exploring whether it can be blamed for the famous crime spree. Was Manson really a failed musician-turned-cult leader, or did he get help from an infamous Cold War program?OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "CHAOS" BEGIN IN THE FINAL TEN MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.

Howdy folks of the interwebs! Your host Double J is back with another edition of OpGCD Live! Today, Double J is discuss'n "Manson Family" Style Murders: Parapolitics & the Idaho 4 case.In today's journey, your host Double J takes you Folks of the Interwebs on a journey of the HIGH-strangeness of "Manson Family" activity surround'n the Idaho 4 case!We are talk'n gruesome murders, drug traffick'n - notably the Process Church relative to the "Manson Family" murders, and of course the at minimum tertiary connects from the Idaho 4 murders and the murders of actress Sharon Tate and friends - courtesy of the "Manson Family" in the Hollywood hills of Los Angeles, CA in August 1969!Murders that shocked the general public & grasped the attention of millions - not unlike the Idaho 4 murders!This case against Bryan Kohberger for the murder of 4 young college students in their off campus home in Moscow ID/Univ of ID on Nov 13, 2022 has grasped the attention of folks worldwide!I suspect early on it was the brutal nature and rare occurrence of such horrendous murders - especially to 4 young adults who allegedly slept in their beds while attacked - at least that is what authorities wish the public to believe.Over time I suspect for many, like myself, that the apparent malfeasance and violations of protocol by law enforcement have caused that attention to remain on this case.However, it is law enforcement authorities' own actions and statements that have yielded the only reasonable conclusion in this case - that is Bryan Kohberger did NOT do it!

Before Roswell made headlines, strange objects were already falling from the sky—and not all of them were weather balloons.IN THIS EPISODE: When you hear the words “UFO crash” you likely think of Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. And while that is the most famous of supposed extraterrestrial spaceship crashes, it is by no means the first. In fact, there were several taking place before Roswell became a household name. (UFO Crashes Before Roswell) *** But first – we'll take a look at Roswell itself… and what might have been behind the crash, the UFOs, and the aliens! (Behind Roswell's Aliens) *** Numerous travelers have gone missing in Nahanni Valley… and many whose bodies have been found, have been decapitated. It's no wonder it has been nicknamed “The Valley of Headless Men”. (The Valley of Headless Men) *** In 2016, construction in a San Francisco family's backyard unearthed a terrifying find… a glass coffin. And the history behind it tells a morbid history of the city. (The Karner's Backyard Glass Coffin) *** Former Green Beret Jeffrey MacDonald claimed that a gang of acid-crazed Manson Family copycats brutally murdered his pregnant wife and two daughters in 1970, but then he was found guilty. Did he commit the crime, or did the law convict the wrong man? (The Evil Deeds of Jeffrey MacDonald) *** It's understood that scientifically, alchemy – attempting to turn a substance or element into gold – is impossible. But then, there is that one incident that took place in the early seventeenth century that has some people wondering if that's wrong.

Could You Be Manipulated Like the Manson Family? The Psychology of Cults What makes a person look at Charles Manson and think, “Yeah, this guy seems like a great life coach”? For most of us, his wild-eyed ranting and swastika-scarred forehead scream “run,” but for his devoted followers, he was the ultimate guru. So how did this failed musician and career criminal convince a group of lost souls to commit some of the most infamous murders in history? Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to dissect the twisted psychology of Manson—his extreme narcissism, manipulative genius, and uncanny ability to prey on the vulnerable. Was he a true believer in his own Helter Skelter fantasy, or just an opportunistic con man who knew how to play the game? And more importantly, could anyone be pulled into a cult like his under the right circumstances? If Leslie Van Houten can get parole, can we ever really trust that someone has escaped the psychological grip of a cult? Or is there always a risk they'll be selling Amway by the end of the week? #TrueCrime #CharlesManson #CultPsychology #MindControl #HiddenKillers #ShavaunScott #CrimeAnalysis Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Could the Manson Family Happen Again Today? The Psychology of Control What makes a person not just follow, but kill for someone like Charles Manson? Sure, he had the whole unhinged, scruffy cult leader aesthetic going, but what was it about him that made people not just listen, but actually pick up knives and do his dirty work? Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dive into the dark psychology of Manson—his charm, his manipulation, and the perfect storm of personality disorders that made him a walking nightmare. From LSD-fueled brainwashing to the lost souls he preyed upon, we're breaking down how Manson turned a group of young drifters into a murder squad. But was he truly in control, or just a delusional lunatic who lucked into the right kind of followers?

In 1969, Los Angeles was on edge after a bloody killing spree in the Hollywood Hills - one of the victims, a pregnant movie star. The killers all said they committed their crimes at the direction of their leader, Charles Manson. While the Manson Family murders still fascinate today, one question remains unanswered: how was the mastermind able to convince his followers to kill at his direction? Was his charismatic hold that strong? Or did Manson's powers of persuasion get a boost from the government? In CHAOS: The Manson Murders, Oscar-winning filmmaker Errol Morris explores the connections between the infamous cult leader and the CIA's MK-Ultra mind control experiments. Were the slayings truly motivated by Manson's Helter Skelter plans for a race war? Or had Manson unwittingly become part of the government's secret research into brainwashing? In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews director Errol Morris. SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched CHAOS: The Manson Murders yet, make sure to add it to your watch-list before listening on. Dig deeper into all of your favorite Netflix documentaries and films at Tudum.com.

Episode 358: In Los Angeles, California, in the autumn of 1969, along winding Mulholland Drive, a young woman's body was discovered, brutally stabbed more than 150 times, her identity shrouded in mystery for nearly half a century. This Jane Doe, known only as case number 59, would lie nameless for the next 46 years, her story untold and her family unaware of her tragic fate. In a chilling twist, the proximity of her death to the infamous Tate-LaBianca murder scenes led investigators down a twisted path of speculation. The brutal nature of the crime sparked whispers of a possible connection to one of America's most notorious cults — the Manson Family. It wasn't until 2016 that modern forensic techniques finally gave her a name: Reet Silvia Jurvetson, a 19-year-old from Montreal who had ventured to L.A. with dreams as big as the Hollywood sign. Despite her identity now being known, Reet Jurvetson's murder remains unsolved. Her family is still hoping for answers more than 55 years later.

Today our guest is Amanda Rae, host of YouTube channel by the same name and former member of the Kingston Clan, or the Order, a polygamist group in Utah, not to be confused with the FLDS. Some of you may remember our previous guest Priscilla from the same group - both of these gals were on Escaping Polygamy. Amanda's going to tell us who the Kingstons are, how many mothers she had, and the principle of “pure Kingston blood” that led to people sometimes intermarrying with relatives - some of whom were underage girls. She'll tell us about how her 2 years at public school helped her think critically about the differences between what the cult SAID about outsiders and people of color - versus the reality that they were just normal people, how children as young as 9 are sent to work after school, and why the day she left began with a physical altercation with a grown man in the group.

This story is a fan favorite from Redacted: Declassified Mysteries with Luke Lamana.When journalist Tom O'Neill set out to write a simple story on the anniversary of the Manson Family murders in 1999, he was pulled into an investigation that lasted 20 years. In the first part of this two part episode, we explore O'Neill's findings about Charles Manson's relationship to the CIA, drug studies at a CIA funded medical facility that the cult leader frequented, and the alleged role CIA assets might have played the night of the Manson Family murders.Listen now: Wondery.fm/RedactedSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today our guest is Maggie Rowe, former writer on Arrested Development and author of Sin Bravely, a book about her experiences with moral scrupulosity, or sin-focused OCD. We talk a lot about OCD on this show, so here's a guest who wrote an entire book about growing up with religious obsessions! She'll tell us about her first obsessions about what was and was not sin, how she started to analyze the Bible with a critical mind to try to understand how to avoid hell, and how her parents tried to help but her church leaders didn't understand OCD and made it worse. We'll talk about the compulsions she would engage in to make sure she was being the right amount of righteous, how she checked herself into a treatment facility for Christians, the incorrect diagnosis of bulimia she received, and how she finally got diagnosed with moral scrupulosity and began getting the treatment she actually needed.

Former pastor's son Caleb Ward joins Lola and Meagan to share his experience about the height of evangelical culture in the early 2000s in a church called Kingdom Life Ministries. Caleb discusses growing up in an environment where everyone was speaking in tongues and having loud prophecies in the middle of church, the pressures that come with being the son of a pastor, how heightened emotional experiences keep people connected to their churches, wild evangelical youth culture involving Christian rock, how good church leadership can actually exist, and why shunning is one of the worst parts of modern Christian religion.

Today is part 2 with Uriah Wesman, former member of THREE different cults. This week he'll talk to us more about cult #2, the Hearts Center (which was an offshoot of cult #1 from last week), what it was like being a rebellious emo kid slowly starting to realize inconsistencies in the church, and how his dad discovered cult #3 in Canada, the Ideal Society. We'll talk about why he loved Canada so much, how he became obsessed with Alex Jones in his rebellious phase, and what that third cult - a vegan meditation cult - was like, being surrounded by adults who spoke French and didn't want him there. Plus, how he ended up leaving, and how creating a one man show helped him process his experiences.

In 1969, the Manson Family disrupted the “Summer of Love” when they murdered multiple people across a two-night span in Los Angeles. After Charles Manson and his followers were caught later that year, one of the strangest and most highly-publicized trials in American history followed. This is the story most people know. But some believe the Manson Family may have at least one more victim…the man who was defending one of their own. Conspiracy Theories is on Instagram @theconspiracypod!
