HELTER SKELTER
"PIG" was the word smeared in blood on the door at 10050 Cielo Dr. on August 8, 1969. Beyond the door lay the bodies of Sharon Tate, Abigail Folger, Voytek Frykowski and Jay Sebring all with multiple stab wounds and bullet holes. A couple of them had electrical cords around the necks and were hanged from the rafters of the Tate residence, the rest of the house had blood on the ceiling, blood on the walls, and blood on the floor.

His father never came in to contact with Charles. Charles lived with his mom until he was five years old and his mother was sent to jail on a charge of strong armed robbery. Charles packed and moved in with his very religious aunt and an uncle who dressed Charles in a dress for his first day of school in order for him to act like a man instead of the sissy that he was, in his uncle's words. Three years later his mom was paroled and Charles went back to live throughout California with the population of the "Family" reaching about fifty at its highest. While doing this wandering through the state Manson became obsessed with the Beatles' song "Helter Skelter." He was convinced that this song was predicting a race war that was coming as soon as the blacks reached the point at where they have been driven to violence and would result in the whites being annihilated, which would leave Manson and his "Family" to be the rulers. On October 13, 1968, the bodies of Nancy Warren and her 64-year old grandma were found ritually tortured and killed, suspected to be the first victims of the "Family."
