His arraignment was scheduled for November three, 17 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: but he didn't show up. He skipped with the man, 18 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 2: now a fugitive, The police take a closer look and 19 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 2: determined that the missing man isn't James Willett, but is 20 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: in fact a twenty four year old named Michael Montfort. 21 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 2: Montford is wanted for escaping from a state prison camp. 22 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: He is also a suspect in at least three bank 23 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 2: robberies in the Los Angeles area.

It doesn't 31 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: take much to connect the dots from there. The police 32 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 2: drive by seven to twenty West Flora, a small ranch 33 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 2: house on a narrow lot with a glassed in front 34 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: porch facing the street. The station wagon isn't in the driveway, 35 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 2: so they hold off, assuming that Montfort isn't home. They 36 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: circle back later, and this time the car is in 37 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 2: the driveway. It's a thirty at night. They move in 38 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 2: They knock on the front door, which opens into the porch. 39 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 2: Another door leads from the porch into the house. A 40 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 2: woman named Sandy Pittman sticks her head out of the store. 41 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: There is an ex marked and scar tissue on her forehead. 42 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 2: She tries to brush off the cops, who are apparently 43 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 2: in plane clothes, because one of them identifies himself as police, 44 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 2: and she reacts by shutting the door. The cops continue 45 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 2: knocking and state they have a warn to search the house. 46 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: No one replies. The officers kicking the door and enter 47 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 2: the house in force.

They let Sandy Pittman hold the 50 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 2: baby and secure the other three adults. The cops can 51 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 2: tell that the women were associated with Charles Manson because 52 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: of the exes on their foreheads. There is Sandy and 53 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: a woman named Priscilla Cooper. The men give their names 54 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 2: as Earl Blake and Gordon Foot. These are false names. 55 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 2: One of them is named James Craig. The other is 56 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 2: actually Michael Monfort, who the police are looking for, but 57 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 2: they don't know what he looks like, so they continue 58 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: to search the house, searching for a man they have 59 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: already found. In the back corner of a bedroom closet, 60 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 2: they find a false floor. Beneath the floor they find 61 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 2: James will Let discharge papers from the Marines. Still searching 62 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 2: for Montfort, they examine the basement.

There is a gap between the top of 65 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 2: the concrete walls. In the house, dirt is laid under 66 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 2: the rest of the house about four feet below the stringers. 67 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 2: The cops see a brand new shovel with the handle 68 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 2: partly sawed off, as well as a pickaxe. Also what 69 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 2: seems to be a mound of freshly disturbed soil. Meanwhile, upstairs, 70 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 2: the phone rings. A cop answers it. A woman says, 71 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 2: the cop says. 72 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 3: Where are you. 73 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 4: At? 74 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,239 Speaker 5: The cops go to Bene Liquors.

And this is rip current. 77 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 6: Everybody is afraid script and that's what's holding things up. 78 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 6: Nobody's contented right now. It's like the world is created, 79 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 6: but their minds are all locked by a fear of. 80 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 5: Their episode three, the Story of James and Lauren Lulette. 81 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 2: When the Manton family was implicated in the Tate Loabianca murders, 82 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 2: it was not just the brutality of the acts or 83 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 2: the fame and glamour of the victims that made for 84 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 2: good copy. It was the Manson family itself. It's as 85 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 2: though all of Middle America's fears about youth culture were 86 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: made flesh in this one small, ragged commune, and even 87 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,119 Speaker 2: more so in the person of Charles Manson. The press 88 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 2: understood this and featured it in their reporting. 89 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 3: The involvement of a mystical hippie plan which despised the straight, 90 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 3: affluent society. Young girls, supposedly under the spell of a 91 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 3: bearded s Bengully, were allegedly masterminded the seven murders. One 92 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 3: of the girls was only sixteen years old. 93 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 2: Time Magazine characterized Manson follower Susan Atkins's description of the 94 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: Manson family in this way. 95 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 7: She sketched out a weird story of a mystical, semi 96 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 7: religious hippie drug and murder cold led by a bearded 97 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 7: demonic Mahdi able to dispatch his zombie life.

Time knew its audience. Susan Atkins's father, meanwhile, 102 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 2: seemed to speak for all Middle America parents who were 103 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,679 Speaker 2: mystified and troubled by what had happened to their kids. 104 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 3: I think they're all on dope. 105 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 7: And if you get under an a dope, you can be. 106 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 3: Involved in almost anything because the hypnotic trans you won't 107 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 3: do something that is basically against. 108 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 8: Who but you know is right. 109 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 3: But under dope you can do almost anything.

She wrote, 120 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 2: the tension broke that day, the paranoia was fulfilled, but 121 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 2: the tension had not broken. Among the people who remained 122 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,239 Speaker 2: Manson followers. 123 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 8: There was a hardcore that was extremely loyal to Charlie, 124 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 8: mainly women, but also some men, and once things became 125 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 8: very real with murder charges and horrible crimes, alleged a 126 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 8: lot of people who may not have been as close 127 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 8: to the center. 128 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 2: They split Lynette from biographer Jess Braven. 129 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 8: They were not there for murder and certainly not there 130 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 8: to go to prison, so they were gone. Other people 131 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 8: may have been sort of attracted by the notoriety and 132 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 8: come into the scene, So at this point it's a 133 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 8: self selecting group. 134 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 2: Lynette and a small group of women made a show 135 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 2: of supporting Manson, hanging out outside the courthouse, eventually carving 136 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,599 Speaker 2: x's into their foreheads and shaving their heads and support. 137 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 2: They also were involved in more active ways, though their 138 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 2: plots were strange.

It was not 144 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 11: dropped The original charge was attempted murder. This was a 145 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 11: case where a girl allegedly received a Hamberger with Ellis Dan. 146 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 11: She allegedly received the hamburger in Hawaii. 147 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 6: And at that time I was. 148 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 11: In the States. 149 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 2: Lynette is referring to a bizarre episode involving an eighteen 150 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 2: year old Manson follower named Barbara Holt. She was not 151 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 2: considered an important witness in the Manson trial, but Lynette 152 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 2: and Ruth Anne Moorehouse, who was known as Wish, decided 153 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 2: they needed to do something to prevent her from testifying. 154 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 2: This led Wish to take Barbara to Hawaii, where they 155 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 2: hold up at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel.

Here is Lynette again 174 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 2: from her psychiatric interview. 175 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 11: Consequently, I accepted a disposition. 176 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 7: Isn't that chill. 177 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 5: See guilty and do some time or something? 178 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 11: No content, I wouldn't believe guilty, but I did believe 179 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 11: and received three months on the county jail. 180 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 9: Okay, you feel while you were incarcerated it was that 181 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 9: a red. 182 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 10: Man trip or along orion. Well, because of the place, 183 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 10: Los Angeles kind of jail is, I would say, a 184 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 10: very bad place to be incarcerable because of it, how 185 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 10: large it is. 186 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 9: Being very impersonal, I try. 187 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 11: But I've got on fine go along with the Innates life. 188 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 5: From the time of his conviction for the Tate LaBianca 189 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 5: murders until October nineteen seventy two, Charles Manson was an 190 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 5: inmate on death row at San Quentin Penitentiary. He'd already 191 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 5: been incarcerated for much of his life and he knew 192 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 5: how to function in that environment. He was small, only 193 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 5: five foot three, and well known, so he was a target. 194 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 5: He needed to protect himself. 195 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 8: You want to have friends, and he made friends with 196 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 8: the Aryan Brotherhood, white prison gang that was, yes, i 197 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 8: would say, dabbling in white supremacy, but more interested just 198 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 8: in hardcore criminal activity inside and outside of prison, and 199 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 8: essential arrangement seemed to be that they look out for 200 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 8: him and his people on the outside. Mainly women like 201 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 8: Lynette would help the AB guys when they got out 202 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 8: of prison, or write to them while they are in prison, 203 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 8: or or bring them things in prison. So it was 204 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 8: a kind of a marriage of convenience between Manson and 205 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 8: the Arian brother They each had something that the other 206 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 8: party needed and so AB members would contact or be 207 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 8: contacted by Lynette and other Manson women who were on 208 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 8: the outside, and when they got out of prison, those 209 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 8: women would be there to help them reintegrate, if you will, 210 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 8: to society generally criminal society, criminal or underworld activity. 211 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 4: Once they got out, they had a big flop house 212 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 4: near the prison where some of the family members who 213 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 4: were staying, and then Manson his fellow prisoners when they 214 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 4: were released, each set them up with his family and 215 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 4: his girls. I'm Darry Mantara, author of the book Charles 216 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 4: Manson Taming the Beast, Charles Manson's life in prison. So 217 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 4: they had this flop house near San Quentin where they 218 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 4: they all were hanging out, So they kind of merged 219 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 4: and blended together. Post helter skelter squeaky was dropping in 220 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 4: and out. 221 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 5: This was how Lynette got to know Michael Montfort, William Goucher, 222 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 5: and James Craig, three ex con members of the Arian Brotherhood. 223 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 5: The three sported prominent Aran Brotherhood tattoos on their torsos. 224 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 8: Lynette ended up with a group of Rian Brotherhood members 225 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 8: and fellow travelers who were committing various crimes and robberies 226 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 8: in California. That group included a young couple, including an 227 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 8: ex marine named James Willette and their young baby. 228 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 5: James Willette, whose body was found in his shallow grave 229 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 5: in Gernville, was from the family that owned the Willlette 230 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 5: Distillery in Kentucky. He'd done a tour of the Marines 231 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 5: in Vietnam, re enlisted, and been sent to Okinawa, Japan, 232 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 5: when Willlett encounter from Montfort and the rest he'd been 233 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 5: teaching under priv kids in Los Angeles. His father described 234 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 5: James as intelligent and public spirited that he'd wanted to 235 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 5: reform racial problems in the Marines. The father also said 236 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 5: that since the Marines, James seemed to be living a 237 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 5: hippie lifestyle. He was married to a young woman named 238 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 5: Lauren known as Rennie. She'd run away from home after 239 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 5: dispute with her parents about school. She was eighteen, he 240 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 5: was twenty six. They had an infant daughter named Heidi. 241 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 5: Their landlord in Los Angeles described James, who she for 242 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 5: some reason called Tom as a quote very gentle and 243 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 5: sensitive lad. She at one point asked him about his 244 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 5: experience in Vietnam and said he became very bitter and 245 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 5: said that if people in America knew about the atrocities 246 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 5: that he had seen, but that he didn't want to 247 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 5: talk about it. She befriended the Willettes and would bring 248 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 5: them baby clothes and toys. She and her husband went 249 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 5: away to Minnesota for the summer They returned to stories 250 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 5: from their neighbors of hippies coming and going from the 251 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 5: apartment at all hours of the day and night, of 252 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 5: the baby crying instantly, and of a woman who had 253 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 5: not paid for her own electricity but was tapping into 254 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 5: the Wallettes. The Wallettes left soon after. It's not clear 255 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 5: how Lynette met James Willette, but she introduced him to 256 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 5: the Aryan Brotherhood guys in San Francisco in September nineteen 257 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 5: seventy two. At the time, the three men, Montfort, Goucher, 258 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 5: and Craig were making frequent trips down to Los Angeles 259 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 5: to commit armed robberies. James had that nineteen sixty five 260 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 5: Ford station wagon white with wood paneling. It would be useful. 261 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 5: Lynette wanted the robberies to continue because some of the 262 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 5: takings would finance paying Manson's lawyers. The Wallette stayed with 263 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 5: the three men and two women, Montfort's girlfriend Nancy Pittman, 264 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 5: who would later receive the police in Stockton, and Goucher's 265 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 5: girlfriend Maria Alonso. They lived north of San Francisco in Gernville, 266 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 5: at a private campground on the Russian River called Parker's Resort. 267 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 5: From this point forward, the Wallette story becomes less certain. 268 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 5: There are two versions. The first is the story that 269 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 5: came out in the Papers. In this story, James travels 270 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 5: with the Aryan Brotherhood men down to la to participate 271 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 5: in a series of robberies. At some point, James tells 272 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 5: Rennie that he wants to leave the group. Rennie, for 273 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 5: whatever reason, relays this information to Nancy and Maria. The 274 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 5: word gets to Montfort and Craig, and they kill James 275 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 5: in Gernville. Rennie stays with the group. The papers speculated 276 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 5: about Rennie that she might have actually agreed to James's 277 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 5: murder and witnessed it. The second version of this story 278 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 5: is told by Dariy Matara and Edward George in their 279 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 5: book Taming the Beast. In this story, James does not 280 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 5: participate in the robberies. Rennie is initially excited by the 281 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 5: fast living lifestyle of the group at Parker's resort. James 282 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 5: is more hesitant. He tries to reason with her, but 283 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 5: she doesn't hear it at first. James's father comes to 284 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,239 Speaker 5: visit the couple in their baby but is alarmed by 285 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 5: the people hanging around the house. He doesn't stay long 286 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 5: his father tries to con events James to leave. James 287 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 5: is afraid of the group, but won't abandon Rennie. James 288 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 5: discovers that Montfort, Craig, and Goucher are supporting their lifestyles 289 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 5: through robberies. This is the last straw. He tells Rennie 290 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 5: that if she doesn't leave with him and go to Kentucky, 291 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 5: that he will turn the men in. Rennie doesn't want 292 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 5: to leave. She tells Nancy Pittman and Maria Alonso what 293 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 5: James has told her. She wants them to explain the 294 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 5: robberies away and get him to stay. She hasn't read 295 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 5: the situation. Then James is killed in Gernville, but Rennie 296 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 5: is told that he just picked up and left. She 297 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 5: doesn't know he is dead, and she and the baby 298 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 5: stay with the group. Goucher even says later that she 299 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 5: has a passing relationship with Craig. Where the stories reconverge 300 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 5: is in the freshly turned soil beneath the house at 301 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 5: seven twenty West Flora after the break. 302 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 2: On November tenth, nineteen seventy two, two days after James 303 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 2: Willett's body was found in a shallow grave in Gernville, California, 304 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 2: and one day after news of this discovery was reported 305 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 2: in the newspapers, Stockton police obtained a search warrant to 306 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 2: investigate a mound of freshly disturbed dirt beneath the house 307 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 2: at seven twenty West Flora. They found the body of 308 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 2: Runnie Wilette. She'd been shot once in the head with 309 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 2: a thirty eight. The police already had six people in 310 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 2: custody for her husband's murder, three men who were involved 311 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 2: in the Aran Brotherhood, Michael Montfort, William Goucher, and James Craig, 312 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 2: and three women, Nancy Pittman, Priscilla Cooper and Lynette From. 313 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 2: All three women had exes carved in their foreheads. From 314 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 2: and Pittman had been members of the Manson family and 315 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 2: continued to support him. Cooper's only connection to Manson seemed 316 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 2: to be the ex The story they told was this, 317 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 2: Michael Monfort was showing the group the danger in handling guns. 318 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 2: He put the thirty eight to his own head and 319 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 2: pulled the trigger, but the gun didn't go off. He 320 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 2: then pointed it at Rennie's head, pulled the trigger and 321 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 2: shot her dead. A stupid accident, but an accident, the 322 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 2: cops were dubious. The obvious scenario was that Rennie did 323 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 2: not know that James had been killed, and once his 324 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 2: body was found, she had to be silenced the same 325 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 2: way that her husband was silenced. In June of nineteen 326 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 2: seventy three, William Goucher pled guilty to murder charges and 327 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 2: agreed to testify against Montford and Craig. His life was 328 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 2: threatened and he was kept in hiding. According to Goucher, 329 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 2: their group had known the Willettes for about a month. 330 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 2: Two of those weeks had been spent at Parker's resort 331 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 2: in Gernville. The men, including James Rolette, took trips down 332 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 2: to la and pulled four armed robberies. Soon after they returned, 333 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 2: James told Rennie about his plan to turn in the 334 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 2: other men. Rennie then told Nancy and Priscilla, who told 335 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 2: the men. They waited a week after Rennie told them 336 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 2: about James's plan. They told James to go somewhere in 337 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 2: the woods and dig a hole to bury some money. 338 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 2: This was to be his grave. They drank that night. 339 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 2: Goucher had purchased a shotgun earlier and had sawed off 340 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 2: the barrel. He said he wanted to go and shoot. 341 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 2: They walked to roughly the spot where James had been digging, 342 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 2: but they couldn't find the hole. They grew tired and 343 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 2: sat down. They shone a large flashlight across the road. 344 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 2: Goucher loaded four rounds into a shotgun and shot at 345 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 2: a tree. He told James to check the tree formage. 346 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 2: As James walked over, Montfort began the shooting. Goucher couldn't 347 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 2: remember how many times he fired. Then Craig's shot will 348 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 2: Let twice with a twenty gage shotgun. Goucher shot him 349 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,199 Speaker 2: once or twice with a twelve gage sowd off shotgun. 350 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 2: They rolled James's body down the hill and covered it 351 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 2: with leaves and some dirt. It lay there until it 352 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 2: was discovered by the hiker weeks later. There were no trials. 353 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 2: Montfort pled guilty to second degree murder in both cases, 354 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 2: and Craig to accessory after the fact. Goucher had already 355 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 2: cut a deal to plead a second degree murder in 356 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 2: James's death in exchange for his grand jury testimony. Priscilla 357 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 2: Cooper and Nancy Pittman pled to accessory after the fact. 358 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 2: In Rennie's murder, Lynette didn't face any charges in either case. 359 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 2: The story didn't quite end there though. For months after 360 00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 2: the murders, James will Lett's parents receive threatening phone call 361 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 2: at all hours from women threatening them with bloody deaths 362 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 2: or saying they would leave James's head on their doorstep 363 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 2: somehow or another. Word later got around that James Craig 364 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 2: was an informant who was burned nearly to death in 365 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 2: his car. He was transported to a nearby hospital, whereas 366 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 2: last words were reportedly she's dangerous. It was not clear 367 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 2: who he was referring to. 368 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 8: This is a period where what starts as at least 369 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 8: a sensibly a kind of hippie love cult has transmographied 370 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 8: into a violent prison gang criminal enterprise where they're going 371 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:47,959 Speaker 8: around robbing places and killing people. There's no real philosophy 372 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 8: around it. It's just what they do because they're criminals. 373 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 5: With Manson in prison indefinitely, Lynette shifted her attention to 374 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 5: helping him any way she could from outside. As we've seen, 375 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 5: this meant providing assistance to arian brothers who were released 376 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 5: from prison. Though her allegiance to Manson continued, her life 377 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 5: was no longer centered around communal living and following Charlie. 378 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 5: She was instead in a world of professional criminals. 379 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 8: She's there because it's part of her loyalty demandsa not 380 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 8: because she is specifically interested in a criminal lifestyle. 381 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 5: In fact, during this time, she was working on her 382 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 5: memoir Reflection, which we read from last episode. Not surprisingly 383 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 5: given her unstable lifestyle. The manuscript was written on whatever 384 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 5: Lynette had available at any given time. Some pages were tight, 385 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 5: some handwritten in different colors of ink. She later used 386 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 5: a typewriter in the office of her lawyer, Doug Vaughan. 387 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 5: Vaughn also kept a photocopy of the manuscript in his 388 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 5: office in case the original was lost. 389 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 8: There's this utopian vision that she experienced, and that, to 390 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 8: her is what the reality is. It obviously was a 391 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 8: very important work to her because she felt that her 392 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 8: mission was to explain and to help the world understand 393 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:09,239 Speaker 8: what Manson's meaning or message actually was. And it is 394 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 8: quite removed from the reality of horror that he inflicted 395 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 8: on dozens of actual people and their families, and more 396 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 8: broadly than the damage he caused to American society. 397 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 5: Reflections is a product not just of Manson's beliefs and 398 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 5: From's experience with him, she also gives her interpretation of 399 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 5: these events and the people who surrounded Manson. Manson was 400 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 5: her leader, but she kept her own will. 401 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 8: This is a follower who is not just carrying out 402 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 8: orders or instructions or what have you. This is a 403 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 8: follower who is really superimposing her own ideas and her 404 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 8: own vision and her own values onto the leader and 405 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 8: making that leader into the leader she wants him to be, 406 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 8: as opposed to the one that he really happens to be. 407 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,719 Speaker 8: And it's a very striking difference. So there's a lot 408 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 8: of side about what is in it for a follower 409 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 8: other than just the comfort of being told what to do. 410 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 8: Because most of her time, Manson is not telling her 411 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 8: what to do. He can't he's in prison. You know, 412 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 8: She's deciding what to do based on that experience. This 413 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 8: is somebody who had the dice rolled slightly differently, could 414 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 8: have been a very different person. 415 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 5: Lynette's companion during much of this period was Sandra Good, 416 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 5: perhaps the one person whose devotion to Manson could rival 417 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 5: her own former Manson follower, Diane Lake. 418 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 10: The two of them were pretty pretty close and very devoted. 419 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 10: They proclaimed as Innocence Forever. 420 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 8: If you look at things. Sandra said to reporters on 421 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 8: camera and in writing, her vocabulary is much more violent, 422 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 8: much more threatening than Lynnette's. 423 00:26:54,920 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 6: Everybody is afraid. Yeah, that's a holding up nobody's content 424 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 6: right now, with the world they've created, that their minds 425 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 6: are all locked by a fear of death. Unless Manson 426 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 6: gets the court room and it's allowed to speak, country 427 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 6: will be bloodier than the Tate Lavianca house put together. 428 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 6: Your children will rise up and kill you. Your own children. Sah, 429 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,959 Speaker 6: what you've done. They see what you're doing to your world. 430 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 6: They see that you lie. 431 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 5: In Sacramento. Whnette and Sandra will continue to live on 432 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 5: society's margins, making their presence known through press releases, threats, 433 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 5: organic treats, and a national campaign of intimidation aimed at 434 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 5: America's corporate executives.
