And the idea was here, what are we going to do with that?

Well, one of the other groups that Hinman had sold drugs to were, guess what? People associated with the Black Panthers. So we'll leave these things up and we'll make them, they will do it. So it's Bobby Beausoleil. who then takes Hinman's car and decides to drive it up the coast. By the way, with a bloody knife with Hinman's blood and hair on it and blood on the seats in the car.

And then he pulls it off the road and decides to sleep it off and he gets busted. So find Hinman's body, find Beausoleil in Hinman's car with a bloody knife with him. Yeah, he gets arrested. So Beausoleil was very popular with some of the girls. There's consternation in the family that Bobby has been arrested. So how can we possibly get Bobby out of jail? Copycat killings.

So if we go kill more people and we make it look the same, then see, Bobby couldn't possibly have done it. No, see, he just borrowed the car. Okay, he stole the car, but the knife was already in. He didn't have anything to do with this. So that, to me, makes the most sense out of what followed. How often do people talk about that theory? That's an interesting theory. Well, it's there.

She was present at both the Tate and LaBianca murders. She didn't participate in the killings, according to her. She sort of drives the car, but everybody else talked about what had happened.
