#451 โ€“ Rick Spence: CIA, KGB, Illuminati, Secret Societies, Cults & Conspiracies

The other story you get is that one of the people who had lived at the Cielo house where Sharon Tate was before was a record producer by the name of Terry Melcher. Melcher supposedly, as the general story goes, had welched on a deal with Manson in terms of a record contract.

He screwed over Manson in some sort of a record deal, and Manson wanted to get revenge and sent them to kill everybody in the house. Which, again, doesn't make much of a sense. One, Manson knew that Melcher wasn't living there anymore. He probably knew where Melcher was living. If he wanted to get Melcher, he could have found him. It wasn't that difficult to do.

It's not revenge on Terry Melcher that drew him there. He was familiar with the house, so if the idea was to simply commit random killings that would throw It would muddy the whole waters with the Hinman killing. Then you might pick some place you knew of. You knew the place was running out. There would be someone there and you really didn't care.

In the same way that the LaBianca seemed to have been. Manson was familiar with that because it supposedly had been the scene of creepy crawling. This is little interesting things that the family would be taught to do. Creepy crawling is when you sneak into somebody's house at night while they're there asleep or when they're not there, and you move things around.

So when they get up in the morning or they come home, they'll suddenly notice that someone has been in their house, which will freak them out, which is the whole point of that.

So Manson set up a kind of base, I think, called the Spahn Movie Ranch, which was an old movie ranch out on the northwest edge of L.A. And they just kind of camped out there. He used the girls, in particular Squeaky Frome, to get the owner or operator out. I think George spawned to let them hang out there. And basically, she slept with him and he was perfectly happy to let them hang out.

They also had a place out in the desert that they had. They dealt in credit card fraud, stolen cars. It was kind of a chop shop that they ran out of the place. So... He had a fairly good little criminal gig going, which with the protection he had, probably would have... The one thing they couldn't cover him on was murder.

Well, the real question is, there is a book written on this by Tom O'Neill called Chaos. I'm not necessarily saying it's the easiest thing to get through. There's a lot of material there. I don't think O'Neill necessarily knows what to make of some of the stuff he came up with. But he does a very good job of sort of demolishing the whole Bugliosi narrative.
