Ep. 235 - The Crash Pad
Was Charles Manson part of a CIA mind control program? In 1969, Charles Manson and his cult shocked the world when they committed the Tate-LaBianca murders. But is that the whole story? A 2019 book by journalist Tom O'Neill offers evidence that there's a lot more to the story than we know.
