Manson died Nov. Patricia Krenwinkel was a secretary when she met Manson at a party. Krenwinkel, along with Susan Atkins and Leslie Van Houten, later condemned Manson and urged young people not to think of him as a hero. According to state prison officials, Krenwinkel is a model inmate involved in rehabilitative programs at the prison. She is being housed at the California Institution for Women in Chino. Late last year, state parole officials postponed a decision on setting Krenwinkel free after her attorney made new claims that she had been abused by Manson or another person.
The inquiry into the allegations took nearly six months. Krenwinkel was again denied parole in She will be eligible to apply for parole again in A jury found that former homecoming princess Leslie Van Houten was guilty of holding down Rosemary LaBianca in her Los Feliz home while an accomplice stabbed her.
Van Houten was 19 at the time of the killing. Van Houten said she was introduced to Manson by a boyfriend and came to view him as Jesus Christ, believing in his bizarre plan to commit murders and spark a race war. She is serving her life sentence at the California Institution for Women in Corona, prison officials say, and has been disciplinary-free her entire sentence.
California Gov. Former Gov. Jerry Brown denied her release twice. A state review board recommended parole for her in , but Brown reversed that decision.

On November 9, , a California parole panel recommended for the fifth time that Van Houten be freed from prison.
Governor Newsom will probably deny the recommendation. Charles "Tex" Watson was arguably the most vicious member of the Manson Family. Manson may have orchestrated the killings, but Watson was, more often than not, the hand that carried them out. He participated in the Cielo Drive murders, personally shooting Steven Parent and Jay Sebring, and assisted in the other slayings.
He was also active in the LaBianca murders. Watson grew up in Texas, hence his nickname. In the s, he worked for Braniff Airlines as a baggage handler. This gave him access to free airline tickets, which he used to visit an old college friend in Los Angeles. He eventually decided to move to the L. According to his parole hearing , Watson was renting a house in Malibu with a friend.
He one day picked up a hitchhiker who turned out to be Beach Boys' drummer Dennis Wilson. Wilson invited Watson to his home, where he met Charles Manson and ultimately joined Manson's followers.

Since his incarceration, he has converted to Christianity and became an ordained minister in In , he married Kristin Joan Svege, with whom he fathered four children via conjugal visits.
The state of California got rid of those visits for prisoners serving life sentences in the late s. At the time, Sharon Tate's mother, Doris Tate, was one of the biggest advocates for eliminating such visits for violent felons. She was enraged that Watson murdered her daughter and grandchild, yet was allowed to father children of his own. Svege amicably divorced Watson in Watson apparently reads his Wikipedia page and seems to have submitted requests to have it edited.
In those requests, he named Manson prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi's book Helter Skelter as his preferred source for Manson-related research.

She is currently held at the California Institution for Women in Chino, where she apparently goes by "Krenny.
She, too, has renounced Manson. Krenwinkel has been denied parole more than a dozen times. Her most recent attempt, in , was delayed by her lawyers' assertion that she was suffering from "intimate partner battery" at the time of her crimes, a legal defense that has been used to free individuals who suffered abuse at the hands of romantic partners or family members.
In , parole board commissioners once again denied Krenwinkel parole. Her mother died of cancer when Atkins was 15, and her father fell into alcoholism following his wife's death. By , Atkins had been abandoned by her father and was living in Los Banos, working as a waitress and attending high school while attempting to care for her little brother.
She dropped out during her junior year of high school and relocated to San Francisco. There, she encountered Manson while he was playing guitar and soon accepted his invitation to join his commune. Within the Manson family, she went by the name Sadie Mae Glutz. Manson prosecutor and Helter Skelter author Vincent Bugliosi once said that excluding Manson himself, it was Atkins who had the "most unfortunate background.
On July 25, , Atkins went with several followers, including Bobby Beausoleil and Mary Brunner, to the home of musician Gary Hinman, who Manson believed had money he could give them. They attacked Hinman and Manson sliced Hinman's ear with a sword. When the others left, Atkins and Brunner remained with Hinman and treated his wounds. Two days later, Beausoleil returned and murdered Hinman while Atkins and Brunner were present.
They wrote "political piggy" on Hinman's living room wall in his blood. Atkins was also present on the night of the Cielo Drive murders and used Tate's blood to write "PIG" on the front door of the home. She was present the night of the LaBianca murders as well, but stayed in the car. While in jail on unrelated charges in October , she boasted to two other inmates about how she had murdered actress Sharon Tate.
These inmates informed authorities of her story, which helped the detectives working the case. Atkins later agreed to testify against the others, admitting in court that she held Tate down as Watson stabbed her. She said that she told Tate that she had no mercy for her, as Tate begged for her and her baby's lives. Atkins was sentenced to death in , which was, like the others' sentences, commuted to life in She renounced Manson and became a born-again Christian.

Atkins was survived by one son, who had been born prior to the murders. She named the boy Zezozose Zadfrack Glutz. Her parental rights were terminated after she was imprisoned. Her family members declined to care for him so he was adopted and renamed. Atkins never saw him again. His whereabouts are currently unknown. It is believed that a Manson commune member named Bruce White was the boy's father.
Bobby Beausoleil grew up in Santa Barbara. He was involved with several bands and appeared in various films, including Kenneth Anger's Lucifer Rising and Mondo Hollywood. Beausoleil was convicted of Hinman's murder and sentenced to death in , a sentence that was commuted, just like the rest, in He is currently being held at the California Medical Facility in Vacaville and was most recently denied parole in April His next parole hearing is scheduled for July He is Beausoleil has continued to make music in jail, providing the soundtrack to Lucifer Rising , as well as releasing two instrumental albums.

She once tried desperately to contact him about a premonition she had regarding some future disaster she foresaw for him. Anger writes about how he made the occult film here. He eventually found himself doing various odd jobs at Spahn Ranch where he befriended ranch hand and movie stuntman Donald Shea.
Grogan, 17, was already at Spahn Ranch by the time Manson and company arrived in They referred to Grogan as "Scramblehead," because they thought he wasn't very intelligent. Grogan did not participate in either the Tate or the LaBianca murders. On the night of the LaBianca murders, Grogan set out with several Family members, but was sent by Manson to kill an actor fellow Family member Linda Kasabian had recently met.
Kasabian intentionally led the group to the wrong house and they did not kill anyone that night. In , Grogan was convicted of first degree murder for the crime. Grogan was initially sentenced to death but his sentence was commuted to life in prison. In the mids, while doing time at Vacaville State Prison, Grogan got married and fathered two sons.
