It's threatening. It's disruptive. He's got his girls out on the street carving X's in their forehead, carrying knives.

One of the attorneys, initially his attorney, Ron Hughes, becomes Van Houten's attorney. And he figures out that the three girls, supposedly on Charlie's insistence, are going to confess. And they confess that it was all their idea and Charlie had nothing to do with it.

Hughes doesn't like this because his defense for her is that she was under his influence and therefore not responsible for her own actions. He was having psychic control. So he refuses to go along with it. There's a break in the trial. He goes camping up in the mountains with some friends and Disappears during a rainstorm, and then some months later, his decomposed remains are found.

Now, rumors, always the rumors. Okay. What would history be without rumors? Hell, that, ah, see, members of the family, they were pissed off at Ron Hughes because he messed up Charlie's idea to get him off, and so they killed him. Oh, maybe they did. Maybe he drowned. That's absolutely impossible to say. You got that kind of story.

There's a guy named Juan Flynn who was an employee at the spawn ranch. Didn't like Manson. Held Manson responsible for the murder of his boss. He would testify that Manson told him that he had ordered all the killings and that Manson also admitted that he had killed 35 people. Maybe he did.

On the other hand, Juan Flynn didn't like him and he had no, other than his word, had no real proof of what he was saying. So, please understand me in this case, is that unlike some people who argue that Charles Manson got a raw deal, I don't think that's the case.

Sex was another frequent component in it. He had a real whammy over a lot of these people's minds. I'm not sure how. That still kind of puzzles me. He was a scrawny guy.
