It's a 22 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 6: big myths, and it needs cleaning up. People are going 23 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 6: to survive. Change is necessary. There are many, many people, 24 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 6: thousands of people, children included, who are tired of the 25 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:32,199 Speaker 6: destruction of the environment, the wildlife, the rivers, the oceans, 26 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 6: miss good cutting down of trees and could we. 27 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: Talk about that in a minute. 28 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 3: From tries to keep Sandra focused on Lynnette's assassination attempt, 29 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 3: but Sandra keeps bringing it back to the degradation of 30 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 3: the environment and the violent action. She says it will 31 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 3: provoke many people. 32 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 6: All over the world are doing to be assassinated. This 33 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 6: is just the beginning. This is just the beginning of many, 34 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 6: many assassinations that are about to take place. 35 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 2: Ms. Good, How come you're talking about trees that you 36 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 2: care about and yet you don't mind killing men. 37 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 6: Men that kill life, that kill harp fields, that kill trees, 38 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 6: that poison oceans and rivers and air are killing all 39 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 6: of us because we need these things to live. 40 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 2: Do you think that what Lynette from did is going 41 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 2: to somehow dramatize your case? 42 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 6: Woman? 43 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: I mean, do you think it was worthwhile? 44 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 6: Mature world? Woman? Start looking at the world you're leaving 45 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 6: for your kids and quit putting sensational news stories and 46 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 6: what you look like and your social position over life. 47 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 3: The interview continues to falter. From tries to get things 48 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 3: back on track. She asks Sandra about Charles Manson, who 49 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 3: is in prison for what will be the rest of 50 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 3: his life. 51 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 2: You have been quoted as saying that his job is 52 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 2: to straighten out the world. 53 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 6: His job. It's yours job, woman, it's your job. He's 54 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 6: been left out of this world's madness. You better pray 55 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 6: he'll help you fix yourselves up. You better pray. I 56 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 6: don't think he wants to. It's your job, woman, to 57 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 6: start making gardens rather than pushing your husbands to destroy things. 58 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 6: I'm talking to the executives, the killers of wildlife and 59 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 6: of the earth. You stop. There's a wave of assassins 60 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 6: called the International People's Court of Retribution, and they're watching you, 61 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 6: Miss Good. 62 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 2: Was the attack on President Ford justified, then. 63 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 6: Yes, any attack on any lie is justified. Any attack 64 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 6: on anyone who puts money and lies over people's lives 65 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 6: is justified. 66 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: Are you disappointed that President Ford wasn't killed. 67 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 6: Nope, I'm not disappointed. There'll be many, many, many killings. 68 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 3: It continues like this for a couple of minutes, and 69 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 3: then when I. 70 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 6: Talk about killing, I'm saying there'll be a wave of 71 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 6: assassins killing those who are killing the environment, eight wildlife. 72 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 2: Trees, killing mis good. 73 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 6: To the children and the people. 74 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 7: Miss Good for them, don't interrupt me, miss Good. I'm 75 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 7: Toby Ball and I'm Mary Catherine Garrison, and this is 76 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 7: rip current. 77 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 8: I find it absolutely incredible and inexcusable that someone of Lymb's, 78 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 8: Squeaky From's past history, and her reputation would be permitted 79 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 8: to get within two feet of President. 80 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 7: Four, episode four Nice Girls. 81 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 3: Lynette From had fallen out of the public eye after 82 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 3: Charles Manson's imprisonment in nineteen seventy, but people would have 83 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 3: read the headlines on September sixth, nineteen seventy five and 84 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 3: remembered her, probably as Squeaky From, perhaps the most outspoken 85 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 3: member of the Manson family. As we have mentioned, her 86 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 3: notoriety did not lead to a comfortable lifestyle. She lived 87 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 3: on the margins of society, and her life continued to 88 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 3: revolve around Charles Manson. In the months leading up to 89 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 3: September nineteen seventy five, Lynette, Sandra, and a third Manson 90 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 3: night named Kathleen Murphy lived in Sacramento at seventeen twenty 91 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 3: five Peace Street, a house that had been subdivided into apartments. 92 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 3: They were poor Lynette received food stamps much of her 93 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 3: time in Sacramento. Journalist Dan Walters. 94 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 9: It was well known that this group of Manson and 95 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 9: acolytes was in Sacramento because he was in fulsome prison 96 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 9: at the time, which was just a few miles from Sacramento. 97 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 9: So they were here is his support group, I guess 98 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 9: should say, so it was well known if they were here. 99 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 3: Their arrival in town prompted Sacramento TV station KCRA to 100 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 3: send a reporter named Mary Murphy to visit them at 101 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 3: their apartment, and in the aftermath of the assassination attempt, 102 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 3: she described her experience on air. KCRA does not allow 103 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 3: the use of footage of their reporters, so we have 104 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 3: recreated some of her report using an actor. The report 105 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 3: has been slightly edited for length. 106 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 10: We have an opportunity to meet Lynnette from and her 107 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 10: roommate Sandra Good and their apartment in downtown Sacramento. They 108 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 10: said they had moved here to be closer to Charles Manson, 109 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 10: who was then at FOLSOM, even though they couldn't communicate 110 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 10: with him. Somehow there was some kind of a mystical 111 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 10: connection there if they could be closer to him just 112 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 10: in this that it would be better for Charlie, and 113 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 10: they wanted to be closer to the center of political 114 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 10: power in California. They said they wanted to meet Governor 115 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 10: Brown and Attorney General Evelyn Younger, and they had ideas 116 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 10: on how the state. 117 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: Should be run. 118 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 3: Their apartment at seventeen twenty five p Street was modest. 119 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 10: I think they said they paid about eighty five dollars 120 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 10: a month in rent. It was furnished mostly with books, 121 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 10: very plain furnishings. They did have a television set and 122 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 10: they did have a stereo, which interested me. They also 123 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 10: had a picture of Charles Manson hung almost like an image, 124 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 10: like an idol, a religious thing, hung over their window. 125 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 3: They later took down Manson's picture at their landlord's request. 126 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 10: They had a lot of grains and herbs and teas around. 127 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 10: They were very interested in natural foods and in cultivating them. 128 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 10: They gathered a lot of things themselves, but actually it 129 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 10: was a very plain space. I kept trying to get 130 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 10: back to this idea of where did your money come from? 131 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 10: And they kept saying that were outside of the money system, 132 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 10: and I kept saying, well, who pays your rent? And 133 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 10: the arguments would go round and round, and finally they 134 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 10: started in telling me about how they would gather things 135 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 10: out of garbage cans, and how they would always find 136 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 10: things on the street when they needed them. Food was 137 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 10: somehow provided. Things were provided. They didn't really have to 138 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 10: go looking for things because Providence was taking care of them. 139 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 3: Providence's care apparently included encouraging them to panhandle in a 140 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 3: nearby park, which they did until a group of men 141 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 3: assaulted them and threatened further harm if they continued to 142 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 3: work there. The Sacramento Bee ran an article the day 143 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 3: following the assassination attempt about Lynette, Sandra, and Heather titled 144 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 3: nice Girls neighbors tell impressions of Manson followers. The title 145 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 3: is a little strange because the reaction in this article 146 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 3: is decidedly mixed. A young woman named Chris Doherty said 147 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 3: that she'd heard Lynette say that she had planned something 148 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 3: bigger than the tape killing that would happen in the 149 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 3: next couple of weeks. Because of this, Doherty had obtained 150 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 3: a gun for self protection. She described Lynette as nice, 151 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 3: but strange, always touching parts of your body with her hands. 152 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 3: Another neighbor named Mona Lynch was aware of their past 153 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 3: association with Manson, but thought they'd turned their lives around. 154 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 3: They sunbathed in bikinis and occasionally brought her vegetables. She 155 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 3: did not seem aware that Manson remained the key figure 156 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 3: in the women's lives. A television reporter interviewed Jesse Faine, 157 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 3: Lynette's landlord, why not what kind. 158 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 5: Of a girl was she? She was a gentle, quiet, 159 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 5: I felt, peace loving girl. 160 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 3: He recalled a meeting with other tenants where they discussed 161 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 3: whether they were comfortable having the Manson followers live in 162 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 3: the house well. 163 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 5: The meeting was a round the table discussion type of 164 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 5: meeting that was held here in our apartment. It was 165 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 5: attended by all the attendants that were home at the time. 166 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 5: The general outcome was that most of them felt that 167 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 5: since the girls had never bothered them, or had never 168 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 5: bothered us, had never given us a bad time in 169 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 5: any way, even though we knew that some of their 170 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 5: ideas were a little far up, that we would let 171 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 5: them stay. 172 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 3: Others, though, experienced less friendly interactions with the women. Charlene Jacobs, 173 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 3: was the supervisor of a community garden that Lynette and 174 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 3: Sandra belonged to, claimed that they stole vegetables from other gardeners. 175 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 3: Quote they'd send five or six or seven people over 176 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 3: the fence and just harvest the whole place. She said 177 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 3: that Lynette was friendly and worked hard on the plot 178 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 3: in the garden, but that she had angry exchanges with 179 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 3: Sandra about the stolen produce. Despite Lynette being the one 180 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 3: to ultimately take action against Ford, it was Sandra who 181 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 3: seemed most confrontational in her words and attitude. Ksecra's Mary 182 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 3: Murphy described being surprised by how politically oriented the women were. 183 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 3: She said that she saw underground literature in the apartment 184 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 3: critiquing the government and the course of the country. Again, 185 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 3: this segment is recreated by an actor. 186 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 10: A lot of conspiracy theories, and they would bring out 187 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 10: pamphlets from time to time to show me but no weapons. 188 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 10: Their main idea in life is to get Charles Manson 189 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 10: out of jail. Their whole life revolved around Charlie, and 190 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 10: she actually thinks that Charlie could be president of this 191 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 10: country and run it better than the present political leaders. 192 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 3: In fact, they were actively trying to spread messages through 193 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 3: the press. First, they were trying to get newspapers to 194 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 3: run articles on how important Manson was to the future 195 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 3: of the country. They also brought press releases to reporters 196 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 3: about the need to protect the environment. 197 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 2: Oh sure. 198 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 11: She and Sandra Good, her fellow Manson family pal would 199 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 11: come up to the barrel occasionally with news releases about 200 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 11: the end of the world, the environment, that sort of thing. 201 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 11: And so it was a small office and we all 202 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 11: know them. I'm Bill Mucy. I'm a former journalist and 203 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 11: I was with the United Press International in Sacramento when 204 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 11: Gerald Ford came to visit and had a big surprise. 205 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 11: You know, I was in my twenties. They're very attractive 206 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 11: and very self possessed and clearly didn't really care if 207 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 11: a lot of people didn't like them. I mean, they 208 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 11: just had their agenda and they were going to follow 209 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 11: through on it. And they had the swastikas in the 210 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 11: middle of the forehead, which was kind of disconcerting. But 211 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 11: they were always polite, nice and dropped in to say hi. 212 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 11: I think they had kind of a crush on one 213 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 11: of the guys in the office. They immediately went straight 214 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 11: to his desk every time. 215 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 3: Associated Press reporter Rodney Angove related a story that on 216 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 3: July third, nineteen seventy five, Lynette had shown up at 217 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 3: his office with a homemade cake for him. And a 218 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 3: handwritten note that she wanted published. It was another pro 219 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 3: Manson screed, calling for his release from prison. If Manson 220 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 3: continued to be held, The note threatened, quote what happened 221 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 3: at the Sharon Tate Residents will happen all over again everywhere. 222 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 3: She left his office, but called his desk later that day. 223 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 3: She asked if he was going to print the letter. 224 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 3: He said he wasn't sure. To this, she said, quote. 225 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 7: Life that's on the line. This is very important. I 226 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 7: don't have to explain it. All our lives are on 227 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 7: the line. 228 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 3: And Angov was not the only reporter to be threatened 229 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 3: over their coverage or lack of it. This is Bill 230 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 3: Busey talking about an incident that happened a couple of 231 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 3: years after the assassination attempt, when Sandra Good was arrested 232 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 3: for mailing one hundred and seventy one threatening letters to 233 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:30,359 Speaker 3: corporate executives. We'll hear about this endeavor later in the episode. 234 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 11: When Sandra got arrested and put on trial. I was 235 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 11: working at The B, the newspaper Sacramento B and she 236 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 11: sent me a letter saying she didn't like what I'd 237 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 11: written in that story that I wrote when I was 238 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 11: at UPI the jail interview and the Manson family was 239 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 11: going to crucify me on a telephone pole. I thought 240 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 11: it was somewhat amusing since all the people who are 241 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 11: really violent or demonstrably violent in the Manson family were 242 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 11: already in prison doing life, you know, so I didn't 243 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 11: worry too much about it. I wasn't able to keep 244 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 11: the letter though the editor at the B and I 245 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 11: turned it over to some kind of law enforcement agency. 246 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 11: Really would have liked to have kept that, But it's still, 247 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 11: you know, a good anecdote saying, well, the Manson family 248 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 11: threatened it crucify me on a telephone poll. Now top that. 249 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 3: As for Lynette's cake and go found it good and 250 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 3: not too sweet. And about those one hundred and seventy 251 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 3: one threatening letters, they were part of a strange effort 252 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 3: of threats and intimidation carried out by Lynette and Sandra 253 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 3: in the weeks before September fifth, an effort that Lynette 254 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 3: would later tie to her assassination attempt. 255 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 7: In nineteen seventy five, Lynette from and Sandra Good, the 256 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 7: most famous followers of Charles Manson living outside of prison walls, 257 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 7: had settled in an apartment in a subdivided house in Sacramento. 258 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 7: While there they seemed to develop an interest in saving 259 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 7: the environment, an interest that they addressed with characteristic menace. 260 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 12: Lynette, I think, like a lot of people in the counterculture, 261 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 12: was skeptical and cynical of industrial society, and this was 262 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 12: a period where obviously the environmental movement was really breaking forward, 263 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 12: and those ideas and issues fit in well with her 264 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 12: own kind of attitudes, and so she, I would say, 265 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 12: adopted them and superimposed them on the Manson cosmology. She 266 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 12: would talk about you know, air and trees, you know animals, 267 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 12: I mean, these things mattered to her, and she seemed 268 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 12: to conflate environmentalism and respect for the earth with Manson's message. 269 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 12: Not something that Manson really directly spoke about, ever, but 270 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 12: he spoke in such elliptical ways that one could read 271 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 12: a lot into whatever he had to say. In fact, 272 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 12: more broadly, I would say this was part of the 273 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 12: Manson charisma. He spoke in a way that people could 274 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 12: fill in the blanks on their own, and certainly I 275 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 12: think Lynette did throughout her association with him, that her 276 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 12: idea of Manson reflected her own wishes or preconceptions or 277 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 12: ideas more than what he seemed to be. 278 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 7: About a month before Lynette failed to kill Gerald Ford, 279 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 7: she and Sandra Good made a trip from Sacramento to Berkeley. 280 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 7: Dressed in red capes, they visited the offices of the 281 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 7: executives of several industrial plants. They claimed to represent an 282 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 7: organization called the International People's Court of Retribution, the one that, 283 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,040 Speaker 7: in her contentious interview with the CBC, Sandra said, I 284 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 7: would send a wave of assassins their message. If the 285 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 7: executives didn't reduce smoggy missions, then some serious problems would arise. 286 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 7: Lynett's arrest on September fifth exposed a broader effort to 287 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 7: threaten executives who they felt were damaging the environment, an 288 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 7: operation that apparently sent hundreds of threatening letters. Sandra would 289 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 7: later be convicted of sending one hundred and seventy one 290 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 7: of the letters. This is from an interview with La Moran, 291 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 7: who had been the California State Forester from nineteen seventy 292 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 7: one to nineteen seventy four. He'd receive threats from the 293 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 7: International People's Court of Retribution. 294 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 5: Did it make you a little fearful, little shaky. 295 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 13: Well, yes, a little bit, but not to the point 296 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 13: where I won't go on doing my job or take 297 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,479 Speaker 13: any necessary precautions. I would rely on any authorities here 298 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 13: in Sacramento to tell me what I might do, But 299 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 13: I don't feel that shaky about it. 300 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 5: Any idea why your name was on that list, I. 301 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 13: Didn't have any idea to start with, but I think 302 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 13: I have gathered a few clues since that Sandra said 303 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 13: something about trees being cut in California. I was state 304 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 13: Forester from nineteen seventy one through nineteen seventy four, and 305 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 13: we have an authority to regulate timber harvesting in California 306 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 13: on private lands. 307 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 7: The International People's Court of Retribution never actually existed, neither 308 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,199 Speaker 7: did the thousands of assassins who were going to make 309 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 7: Tate la Bianca look like child's play. But that does 310 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 7: not mean that Lynette and Sandra were harmless. Their neighbors 311 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 7: and people they interacted with found them strange and occasionally belligerent. 312 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 7: Their continued support of Manson showed a level of comfort 313 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 7: with deadly violence. It poses the question, how was a 314 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 7: person with Lynette's notoriety able to not only get close 315 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 7: to the president, but get close to him while armed. 316 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 7: The thing do you understand is in nineteen seventy five, 317 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 7: presidential security was far different than it is today. On 318 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 7: the internet, you can find film footage of Ford walking 319 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 7: through the park that day, and the security around him 320 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 7: is almost quaint. There just doesn't seem to be that 321 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 7: much of it. Why, knowing that Ford was coming to Sacramento, 322 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 7: weren't Lynette and Sandra put under surveillance. Ford's press secretary, 323 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 7: a former NBC News correspondent named Ron Nesson, told the 324 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 7: press that the Secret Service had no reason to suspect 325 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 7: that Lynette or Sandra had any designs on harming the president. 326 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 7: This response drew astonished reactions from many people, including one 327 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 7: Vincent Bugliosi. Bugliosi, as we heard last episode, had prosecuted 328 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 7: Manson and his followers who committed the nineteen sixty nine 329 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 7: Tate la Bianca murders. His book on Manson and the murders, 330 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 7: Helter Skelter, had been published the previous year, in nineteen 331 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 7: seventy four. He thought that Lynette and Sandra should have 332 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 7: generally been under surveillance, but he was particularly outraged that 333 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 7: they weren't watching the two women during the time that 334 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,360 Speaker 7: Ford was in Sacramento. This is from a press conference 335 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 7: he gave following Lynnet's attempt. 336 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 4: During the trial, she and Manson and several other members 337 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 4: of the family expressed open hostility, as you probably well know, 338 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 4: towards President Nixon and President Ford. Being the appointee of 339 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 4: President Nixon, it's understandable to me that in their minds 340 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 4: he should also be the object of their hatred. I 341 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 4: find it absolutely incredible and inexcusable that someone of Lynn 342 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 4: Squeaky From's past history and her reputation would be permitted 343 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 4: to get within two feet of President Ford. Law enforcement 344 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 4: does not deserve any credit for the fact that President 345 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 4: Ford is still alive. 346 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 7: These and other criticisms provoked a defensive response from Secret 347 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,719 Speaker 7: Service Special Agent in Charge Douglas Duncan. 348 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 14: I wasn't personally. 349 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 11: Aware, although. 350 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 14: Our officers from time to time knowing that these people 351 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 14: have been in Sacramento purely as an intelligence relation between 352 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 14: other agencies, and that they have created some disturbance because 353 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 14: of their relationship with this prisoner, Charles Manson, they have 354 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 14: never expressed any interest in the president or anything of 355 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 14: the federal nature. Were you are, we can't sure they'll 356 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 14: or make that type of an investigation on every person 357 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 14: that is a little bit out of the ordinary, as 358 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 14: far as any cause that they might espouse. 359 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 7: Journalist Dan Walters. 360 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 9: There's something about the state that tolerates, if not encourages, 361 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 9: not want to say devian exactly, but behavior that would 362 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,959 Speaker 9: be considered outrageous in other places is tolerated here. So 363 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 9: the idea of having a Banson groupie lunch and Sacramento 364 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 9: is like, eh, just you know, it's California, what do 365 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 9: you say. It was not considered to be a very 366 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 9: big deal with those that those girls were there. It 367 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 9: was kind of like, well, you know, Charlie's in prison, 368 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 9: so okay. Someplace else that would have been like a 369 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 9: big deal, but not in California because we had lots 370 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 9: of little cults and communities and weirdnesses are out and 371 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,959 Speaker 9: Sacramento is not immune to that. 372 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 7: A second question, and the immediate aftermath of the attempt, 373 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 7: was this, where did Lynette get the gun? In short order, 374 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 7: it was discovered that the gun had come from a 375 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 7: sixty six year old retired government draftsman named Manny Burrow. 376 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 7: This is Dwayne Keyes, the lead prosecutor in the case. 377 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 7: Against Lynette for her failed attempt. 378 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 15: Well, mister Boris is the gentleman from whom the defendant 379 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 15: obtained the weapon. He was a friend of hers, and 380 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 15: at the time that she obtained the weapon. Why I 381 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 15: believe well, when he was friendly with her, he was 382 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 15: living here in this area. I can't make any statement 383 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 15: concerning their relationship or anything further concerning that. 384 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 2: Was he involved with the Man family at all? 385 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 15: To our knowledge, he was not. There was no Involmary. 386 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 2: Did he give the gun to her willingly. 387 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 7: Or was it taken? 388 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 15: That's a question. We're not sure of that circumstance. 389 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 7: While Lynette would dispute the characterization in court, Borow was 390 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 7: widely perceived as Lynette's sugar daddy. There was precedent for 391 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 7: her entanglement with an older man. Years earlier, at spawn ranch, 392 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 7: she had been designated to keep the elderly and blind 393 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 7: George Spahn happy, ensuring the Manson family could continue to 394 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 7: live on the ranch. Manny Borough's association with Lynette and 395 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,719 Speaker 7: Sandra puzzled the people who knew him as a loner, 396 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 7: and the man neighborhood kids called Grandpa, this is Borrow's landlord. 397 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 7: In a television interview. 398 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 16: I have no idea their relationship whatsoever. I know that 399 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 16: mister Burrow had loaned her his car, the Cadillac. From 400 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 16: what I understand, she wrecked it, and he purchased a 401 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 16: red Voltaire and for her, and after that red Bird 402 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 16: dwagen was purchased. My mom said that she was at 403 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 16: the house once. I believe other than that she wasn't 404 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 16: a frequent visitor. 405 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 7: But apparently they were good friends. 406 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 16: I am assuming. 407 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 8: So. 408 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 7: It is unclear if Boro knew that Lynnette was a 409 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 7: member of the Manson family. The FBI initially believed that 410 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 7: he did not. His daughter in law, Rosette Rankin, was 411 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 7: at least willing to entertain the idea. She is quoted 412 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 7: in the Sacramento Bee as. 413 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: Saying, he has got money. She's taking him for everything. 414 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: He could never be involved in that meaning the Manson 415 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: family except for a woman. He was starved for attention. 416 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 7: Here's Borough's landlord again. 417 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 4: Did you know that mister Borough apparently at one time 418 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 4: had a gun. 419 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 16: Yes. The only reason I know this is because of 420 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 16: an accident that happened from one from my mother's house 421 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 16: to the apartment. Was a water leakage and it had 422 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 16: seeped through his kitchen and into his closet, and my 423 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 16: mother explained to him what had happened and wondered if 424 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 16: there was anything in the closet that could have been damaged, 425 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 16: and he said, well, I have a gun and it 426 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 16: something that I saved from World War II was how 427 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 16: he explained it. 428 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 7: Boro claimed that from had taken the gun from him 429 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 7: without permission. During Lynnette's trial, he testified that he had 430 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 7: never even had a loaded clip for the gun, which 431 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 7: he said was essentially a memento. In the end, he 432 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,479 Speaker 7: was not charged. As September fifth drew to a close, 433 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 7: President Ford refused to be daunted by the near miss 434 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 7: and Capital Park. He thanked the people of California for 435 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 7: what he characterized as a very warm welcome, and said 436 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 7: that he would not, under any circumstances, feel that one 437 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 7: individual in any way represents the attitude on the part 438 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 7: of the people of California. He also committed to maintaining 439 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 7: his availability to the public in his role as president. 440 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 4: He let me add with great affiss. 441 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 13: This answer, under no circumstances you will prevent me or 442 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 13: preclude me from contacting the American people. 443 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 6: As I travel from one state to another and from one. 444 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 4: Committee, and my judgment is vitally important for a president 445 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 4: to see. 446 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 6: The American people, and I'm going. 447 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 14: To continue to have that personal, come active relationship with 448 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 14: the American people. 449 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 5: I think it's vital. 450 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 7: This commitment would be tested again seventeen days later, but 451 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,679 Speaker 7: before then there would be another incident, this time in 452 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 7: Saint Louis, Missouri, next time on Rip Current. 453 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,919 Speaker 1: Rip Current was created and written by Toby Ball and 454 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 1: developed with Alexander Williams.
