Tex Watson, Susan Atkins, and Patricia Krenwinkel, under the direction of Charles Manson, committed a shocking mass murder at the home of Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate.
Tate – eight and a half months pregnant – along with hairstylist Jay Sebring, screenwriter Wojciech Frykowski, Folger Coffee Company heiress Abigail Folger and Steven Parent, a student visiting the property’s caretaker were viciously murdered.
Hollywood didn’t breath a sigh of relief until the last members of the Manson Family were apprehended on December 1, 1969.
