Who is Bailey Sarian and what is this podcast about?
Hi friends, how are you today? I hope you're having a wonderful day so far. My name is Bailey Sarian and welcome to the Murder Mystery and Makeup Podcast. Today we're going to revisit one of the most infamous true crime stories I've ever covered. The story of Charles Manson and the horrific murders carried out by members of his cult in the summer of 1969. Now I want to reshare this with you guys because there's a new documentary that just came out on Netflix that offers some very intriguing theories on what could have been up with old Charlie and his followers. It's called Chaos, The Manson Murders. Did you watch? It's crazy how after five decades, people are still so fascinated by Manson and his cult.
Something about Los Angeles in the 60s, the eeriness of his devoted followers, the brutal murder of a, you know, pregnant movie star. It's equally as captivating as it is terrifying. So let's have a little refresh on the story of the Manson murders and then stick around to the end of the episode and I'll fill you in on the theories from this new documentary and if I think there could be any truth to them. No, sound good? Okay, circle back you guys, let's get into it. Hi friends, how are you today? I hope you're having a wonderful day so far. My name is Bailey Sarian and today is Monday, which means it's murder, mystery and makeup Monday. If you are new here, hi, welcome. My name is Bailey Sarian and on Mondays I sit down and I talk about true crime story that's been heavy on my noggin and I do my makeup at the same time.
If you're interested in true crime and you like makeup, I would highly suggest you subscribe because I'm here for you on Mondays. This week, I fell down a huge rabbit hole with this story. My brain has turned to mush. I never want to talk about Charles Manson ever again. Ever again. There are so many layers to this damn story. There is so much to this story. I am so... I felt like I was losing my mind at some points, but I'm here. So I don't know how long this is gonna be. I'm gonna try and keep it short because editing is a bitch, but I did like simplify it as much as I could. There's a lot of names that are gonna be thrown your way. So get ready, get ready to catch them. You get it. I had to simplify it a little bit as best as I could without losing the overall. Charles Maddox was born November 12th, 1934, so he's a Scorpio, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to his mother, Kathleen Maddox, who was just 15 at the time of his birth. Charles wouldn't have a relationship with his biological father. His mother, Kathleen, she ended up marrying a man by the name of William Manson,
about four months before she gave birth to Charles. So Charles took the name Manson. Then when the couple separated in 1937, Charles kept the last name. Tarnished that name. That's for sure. As a way to make money, Kathleen worked as a sex worker and participated in petty crimes. It was said that Charles' mother wanted nothing to do with him. That at one point when he was a baby, his mom tried to sell him, as a baby, to a waitress in return for a pitcher of beer. To some people, that's considered a fair trade. In 1939, Kathleen was sent to prison for five years for armed robbery. And during this time, Charles was sent to live with his aunt and uncle in West Virginia. If I call him Charlie and Charles, just know it's the same person.
Whatever. Charlie seemed to bounce around a lot. He didn't really have a stable home, but he would visit his off-the-grid uncle who lived in the Kentucky mountains from time to time. This uncle seemed to have like a lasting impression on Charles, okay? This uncle, he was an outcast and would tell Charles not to go to those schools because they brainwash kids and stuff. You know, that uncle. But Charlie said that he really liked him. He was different. He was off the grid, man. When Charlie was nine, he tried to set his school on fire, and that's when they sent him to reform school. Between 1942 and 1947, Charles' mom, she was out of prison, and he would stay with her, which he said was like one of the happiest times from his childhood.
