Taking Advantage
One of the contacts Manson made was Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys. One night Dennis Wilson picked up two female hitchhikers, Ella Jo Bailey and Patricia Krenwinkel who were part of Manson’s clan. After returning home that night from a recording session, Wilson found Manson and all his ‘family’ members in his home. The Manson family would land up staying there for several months and pile up a cost of about $100,000. Manson used the beauty of his women to manipulate most men to do whatever he wanted.

The Ranch
Wilson’s manager eventually convinced the musician to send the Manson family packing, which led them to “Spahn Movie Ranch”. The ranch was a popular movie set where many western movies were shot. Charles Manson persuaded the owner of the plot to allow the family to stay there for free by using the women again. The ranch would become the growing home of the Manson family, and eventually their last home.
