Ep. 144: The Manson Family Murders, Pt. 4 - Creepy Crawl
Ain't It Scary? with Sean & Carrie - A podcast by Killer Podcasts - Thursdays
Categories:
This week, the horror of Helter Skelter begins on part 4 of our Manson Family deep-dive with the lesser-known murder of the Family's first official victim, former friend Gary Hinman. We explore the circumstances leading to the powder keg-like situation the family was in, and how it all exploded into violence when Charlie decided that the money required to fund the Family's flight to Death Valley was basis enough for murder. Caught up in the Family's madness was innocent victim Gary Hinman, who was repaid for his former kindness to the cult with brutalization and murder. The killing of Gary Hinman directly led to what the Family decided to do next: continue onto a weekend-long killing spree that saw 7 more dead and their paranoia ratcheted up to 11. Next week, for reals: the murders of August 8th and 9th, 1969, and how the Family was finally caught and charged for their crimes. But first, we'll meet the 7 victims that met their famous and untimely deaths at the hands of the drug-fueled apocalypse cult. ________________________________________ Connect with us on social media: Facebook: www.facebook.com/aintitscary Twitter: @aintitscary Instagram: @aintitscary Patreon: www.patreon.com/aintitscary Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/aint-it-scary?ref_id=27696 ___________________________________________ Thank you to our sponsors: Neuro Gum - Get up to 30% off your order of Neuro Gum at tryneurogum.com/aintitscary!
