Story: Charles Manson’s twisted psychological profile began developing from the very beginning; when he was born to a sixteen-year-old girl in Cincinnati who was an alcoholic for most of his young years. He left home at thirteen when he was sent away to the Gibault School for Boys in Terre Haute, Indiana, and spent many of his formative years hopping around the country, committing robberies here and there, which consequently landed him in detention centers and training schools. In 1955, Charles married Rosalie Willis, and the couple had a child which they named Charles Manson Jr. In the same year, Manson was arrested for auto theft and sentenced to five years of probation, which he broke, resulting in a three year jail sentence.

While serving this ten year sentence, Manson quickly became obsessed with the Beatles’ music, and learned to play the steel guitar himself.

The next night, the night of the LaBianca murders, Manson accompanied Leslie Van Houten, Steve "Clem" Grogan, and the four from the previous night to “show them how to do it”. They murdered Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary. At all of these murders, Manson was the main person delegating and ordering the others to murder said people. At most of the crime scenes, members of the Family involved left messages such as “Pig”, “Healter [sic] Skelter”, “Death to pigs”, and “rise”. Throughout the following half-year, connections between the cases began to surface, and eventually Mason’s family members were brought in.
