Excellent Documentary!

I've been studying the Manson case for years, and this was a very well researched documentary.

Mike Dorsey, the narrator, speaks rapidly, but I like that. No long drawn out cliff hangers...he gives a lot of information and he does it quickly and efficiently. Well done, Mike.

In the one scene where he shows Rosemary LaBianca's autopsy report, it is clearly dated August 4, 1969, when we all know she was killed on the 9th, and her body not discovered until the 10th. Did anyone else catch this?

I loved it as well. The narrator was Scott Michaels, not Mike Dorsey. He has a web-site called findadeath.com that is fascinating. But be warned if you go to it, you will be bombarded with popup windows & viruses at the site.

I thought it was very good too. Luvvie, I was looking at the dates on the reports, but I thought they had August 10th.

Information that was new to me: the murderers stopped at a random house to hose off the blood after leaving the Cielo Dr house. The homeowners there came out and yelled at them to leave, taking down the license plate number. It was important evidence for the prosecution.

Rosemary LaBianca worked as a waitress for most of her short life but was apparently such a whiz at picking stocks that she was worth more than coffee heiress Abigail Folger by the time of their deaths.
