I'm starting to connect some dots in my research and a bigger picture is emerging. I believe that in the late 1960's to the mid 1970's there was an underground emergence of the practice of Satanism and I think it's possible that there may be a link between the following three (sets of) crimes: - The Manson Family
- Zodiac
- Son of Sam (David Berkowitz)
I'm going to go through this in this thread but don't expect a single post summing it up because the connecting fibers are tenuous but semi apparent. What I know, in a nutshell, is that Manson was familiar and possibly friends with Anton Lavey, the founder of the Satanic church. Susan Atkins (Tate murders participant), worked for Lavey as a performer before she met up with Manson. Manson was aware of the teachings of the Process church, which is not evidentiary in and of itself because their teachings were fairly tame but there are links there I'll explore as I go on. There is a connection between these two religions and Zodiac and also between them and Son of Sam. Again, this is tenuous and I'm working on it. More to follow.

This is an interesting development.
If they find bodies and can prove murder Manson may get a new trial after all.

Sorry it tok so long to respond. Yes, Maury Terry is one of the main proponents of the idea that there were several crimes related to Satanic cults and also inter-related in the 70's and 80's. I'm waiting on another book to make some more possible inferences and will fill in the gaps here.

I'm re-reading Helter Skelter. I don't remember the part about Manson going to the house and making eye contact with Sharon Tate a week or so before the murders. I'd almost swear that wasn't in the original release. Could be wrong though... it's been a long time since I've read it.

I read that somewhere but can't remember if it was in Helter Skelter or In His Own Words or online somewhere. Helpful, aren't I?

It does say it in Helter Skelter.. I just don't remember it from last time I read it. It's creepy if it happened.
