Is that pic of old man Spahn and Squeaky Fromme???? No, it's not upon further investigation.
The page has details of both Manson murder scenes-----Tate and La Bianca and also the fact the Manson family was arrested for auto theft.
Indeed!
It has three relevant articles, and (IMO) they are interesting because:
1) "Anatomy of A Mass Murder In Hollywood" - an account of the Tate murders at Cielo Drive.
2) "LaBianca Couple, Victims of Slayer, Given Final Rites" - this is about the funerals of the victims of the second Manson Family slaying, carried out the next night. At this point, the LAPD had not linked the two crimes, and were working under the assumption that the LaBiancas were killed by a single maniac and not a group of drug-fucked psycho hippies. (Hence the singular wording of the headline.) I don't know how they hadn't figured out the cases were connected, since the word "PIG" was written in blood on the door of the Tate house, and the words "POLITICAL PIGGIES" were written in blood on the wall of the LaBianca house 24 hours later.
3) "Police Raid Ranch, Arrest 26 Suspects In Auto Theft Ring" - this is Spahn Ranch, and it's basically the entire Manson Family plus a few associates who got arrested. It doesn't name anyone in the article. Later, they were caught for the murders because after sitting in jail after the auto theft bust, Susan Atkins boasted about her participation in the Tate murders to a couple of career criminal cellmates. They ratted her out to the warden, because seriously, fuck
that crazy bitch. And that was it for the Manson Family. But at the time this newspaper was published, this was just three random newspaper stories, each with no known connection to the others.
