about the murders?" She was afraid of Mason, Linda said, afraid that he might find and kill both her and Tanya. Also, she was pregnant, and didn't want to go through this

ordeal until after the baby was born.” ( Helter Skelter , pg., 391)

[222]“In accordance with the earlier discussion between our office and LAPD, we said that if Susan would cooperate with us, we would probably let her plead guilty to

second degree murder – i.e., we would not seek the death sentence, but we would ask for life imprisonment.” ( Helter Skelter , pg., 214)

[223] “To date LAPD hadn't even begun looking for the Tate weapons and clothing, although Susan Atkins' statement gave us some good clues as to the general area

where they should be. Arrangements were made through out office for Susan to be taken from Sybil Brand the following Sunday, to see if she could point out the spots

wher e Linda Kasabian had thrown the various items.” ( Helter Skelter , pg., 257)

[224] “As noted, given a choice between Susan and Linda, I’d preferred Linda, sight unseen: she hadn’t killed anyone and therefore would be far more acceptable to a

jury than the bloodthirsty Susan.” ( Helter Skelter , pg., 342) [225]

“...he [Manson] and Linda walked ahead in the sand [after the murder of Leno and Rosmary LaBianca]. ...Linda told Charlie that she was pregnant. Manson took

Linda’s hand and, as she described it, “it was sort of nice, you know, we were just talking, I gave him some peanuts, and he just sort of made me forget about everything,

made me feel good.” Would the jury understand this? I thought so, once they understood Manson’s charismatic personality and Linda’s love for him.” ( Helter Skelter ,

pg., 365-366)

[226]“LAPD wanted to offer Susan Atkins immunity, in exchange for telling what she knew about the murders.” ...I was in total disagreement. "If what she told Ronnie

Howard is true, Atkins personally stabbed to death Sharon Tate, Gary Hinman, and who knows how many others! We don't give that gal anything !"” ( Helter Skelter ,

pg., 164-5)

[227]“Let's see if, on our own, we can get enough evidence to nail all of them. If we can't then, as a last resort – a very, very last resort – we can turn to

Atkins.” ( Helter Skelter , pg., 165)

[228]“[LAPD Lieutenant] LaPage was firm; LAPD wanted to make a deal. I conferred with Busch and Stovitz; they were far less adamant than I. Against my very

strong objections, Busch told LePage that the DA's Office would be willing to settle for a second degree murder plea for Atkins.” ( Helter Skelter , pg., 165)

[229] “Linda turned and ran down the driveway. For what seemed like maybe five minutes, she hid in the bushes near the gate, then climbed the fence again and ran

down Cielo to where they had parked the Ford. Q. "Why didn't you run to one of the houses and call the police?" I asked Linda. A. "My first thought was 'Get help!'

Then my little girl entered my mind – she was back [at the ranch] with Charlie. I didn't know where I was or how to get out of there."” ( Helter Skelter , pg., 354)

[230]“Linda told me that she decided to flee after the night of the LaBianca murders; however, Manson sent her to the waterfall area later that day [where the children

had been moved] and she was afraid to leave that night because of the armed guards he had posted.” ( Helter Skelter , pg., 389)

[231]“On questioning, the defendant stated... She does not hold Linda [Kasabian’s] position in the prosecution against her...” (Susan’s Probation Officer’s Report, 4-

19-71)

[232]On November 18, 1985, Grogan was released from prison, and was discharged from parole on April 13, 1988. (AFTERWORD, 509)

[233]One of the enduring Manson Family mysteries was cleared up by Grogan. It had become part of Manson Family lore, possibly to frighten all members who had

mutinous thought, that Shea was decapitated by Grogan and had been cut up and buried in nine separate places at Spahn Ranch. ... Subsequently, Sergeant Gleason and

his partner found Shea's remains in one piece at the spot designated by Grogan – the bottom of a steep embankment about a quarter mile down the road from the ranch.

(AFTERWORD, 509)
