Connecting The Dots
During the time that the Manson family members were in custody, police started to connect the two murders. One of the young Manson girls revealed the truth about the murders by bragging about it to another female inmate. Susan Atkins brazenly boasted about killing Sharon Tate and even mentioned the other killers’ names. The names of those involved were, Charles Manson, ‘Tex’ Watson, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel, and Leslie Van Houten.

Put On Trial
In a widely-followed trial in 1971, Charles Manson was convicted on seven counts of first-degree murder. Evidence later surfaced of his involvement in two more killings which added two more counts of murder. He claimed that he hadn’t murdered anyone, and further argued that he didn’t tell anyone to do anything.
