Susan At Sept. 2nd Parole Hearing

Well, Susan finally achieved the freedom she had so long sought, albeit in a pine box.

Dead at 11:45 pm on September 24, 2009, at the Central Women’s Facility in Chowchilla, California, Susan is the first of the five Tate-LaBianca murderers to die.

As of this publishing, there was no information given as to whether or not her husband/lawyer, James Whitehouse was with her when she passed, nor any details on the transfer of her corpse or burial details.

Linda Deutsch of the Associated Press broke the news early this morning and she was a fitting reporter to do so, as it was Linda as a cub reporter who sat vigil everyday in the Hall of Justice courtroom, witnessing first hand The Family spectacle in the halls and listening everyday to the grizzly testimony given about the murders in ‘69.

Susan is survived by her husband James and her two brothers Steven and Michael and as yet no public announcement has been made by any family member.

Her last words spoken in public were done so at her final parole hearing in front of the Board of Prison Terms, as she was wheeled into the room on a gurney, “My God is an amazing God.”

It is now, at this hour, that Susan Atkins is finally finding out if He truly is.

Sharon, Why Didn’t You Flee?

Yes… A post really meant for the “What If” Department Store of Life [another store, no doubt, Charlie would have had Mary and Sandy skulk into, to buy stuff on a stolen credit card while the rest of the principal Family members sliced, diced and julienned their way into the criminal history books]. But my imagination has always fed thoughts in me that in the wee hours of many a night, when mere outsiders like us are sound asleep in our oh so safe beds, the really affected, surviving family members of this Cielo slaughter - Paul, Doris, Patti & Debra Tate - would have laid awake, utterly haunted, wondering all sorts of “Whys”. Now, I’m sure they had more detailed inside information than we do even today, as to why Sharon didn’t at least attempt an escape from that Living Room that night, and maybe, hopefully, for them, there never was any need for this particular questioning torment. I really DO hope that’s the case and that I’m wrong even in pondering this question. S

Charles Denton “Tex” Watson…The Man Behind The Monster Part One

  Top to Bottom– Present Day, 1969, High School Of all the Hinman/Tate-LaBianca killers, “Tex” Watson is one of the most difficult to understand from where old MsBurb is sitting. He’s not had the traumatic childhood like Sadie, nor the self-conscious and unattractive drawbacks of Katie, nor the baseline intellect of Charlie. No, for me Tex Watson is more than just an enigma and as such has been so very difficult to study. I’m sure, if you’ve been following TLB2, you have been wondering when MsBurb would get around to old Tex, and it’s not like I’ve been avoiding the issue, it’s just been because the more I read on this man, the less I know and the more questions for which there seem no clear answers. Having no idea where to begin with this guy, I decided to begin, not with a true scientific nor psychological approach but to begin with the wholly unscientific definition of the man through, yes, dare I say it, his Natal Astrology Chart ! Sure, heck, why not? I said to mysel

And Now For Something Totally Inappropriate...The First 25 Anyways...

It's been close to 40 years now and you'd think with the onslaught of the online information highway, we aficionados of all things Manson would have had all the answers to all the questions by now...and yet we don't. And while we don't, and while Charlie's killers are still breathing, I thought it might be a good time to sit down at an imaginary dais table with the entire murderous gang and ask those haunting questions possibly no one has had the courage to ask. Not to say that I expect answers... I just feel like I'd better ask those questions before one of you psychopaths kick the bucket, is all, or before I get too old to remember what those questions should be! Shall we begin? 1) Sadie, Katie, Linda - why go in bare feet to the Tate house? I mean, who goes barefoot to a blood bath? This wasn't the running of the bulls in Pamplona , you know! 2) Why not continue down Cielo Drive and to the next houses, as planned? You had the changes of cl
