Why did Kooky Manson Girls Visit this Grave?
Lynette Fromme and Sandra Good, both members of the notorious Manson family, once lived in Sacramento to be close to the creep who was incarcerated in a nearby prison.
In 1973 they stood on a grave in the Sacramento City Cemetery for a German magazine. History Hunters will tell the story of the two women but the mystery has yet to be answered why they stood on Jacob Heintz's grave and that of his wife, Julia.

Manson wasn’t responsible for any of these crimes - the people who did it - did it to rob jay Sebring and voytek frkowski of drugs who were staying at Sharon tates that night . Manson may of been a criminal but he wasn’t some hippie cult leader with hypnotic powers that’s just bunk .

Only one was let out, the worst one.
That whole Manson era was so scary for me. As a young housewife and mother, living in L.A. County, I became so scared after hearing and reading news stories about the murders then trial. It took me a long time to be able to sleep without fear of "creepy crawlers" invading my home. I kept thinking other Family members would still be carrying out his orders.

For some reason my mother had books about this in our home that I wondered into as a child. I had nightmares for years after seeing images in those books. This kind of evil is still hard to get my head around at the age of 59. I suppose it was just the time in America - it sold books and magazines. It shaped how I raised our children. We didn't keep books like that in our home. Learned some new stuff in this video - it helps bring more closure to the space this occupied in my mind for years.

I was just a teenager when the Tate/La Bianca murders happened and it was a very tense and scary time. The entire Manson family VERY sick individuals. As always - a very interesting video.

I remember the first time I heard about the Manson Family murders. I was 12 and I had just woken up and was listening to the news on my clock radio. The news announcer told about finding the bodies of Sharon Tate and her guests. Even though I lived on the other side of the country where things like that just didn’t happen, it scared me to death. I think it still haunts me because Sharon Tate wanted so badly to live and have her baby.
Interesting history. Charles Manson was a devil and those two girls. It's like the two girls that were following the Slim man.
Manson was their leader and ‘father’ figure perhaps?

I think you’re right. I almost clipped out my remark after later reviewing the photo and seeing they were standing near the edge, not closer to the giant stone marker.
I remember when he was in Folsom Prison and the Manson Family lived in Folsom.
Rusty Burell had a firm grip on Charlie when he was a LA county deputy
It's surprising that Fromme was paroled when she's never expressed any remorse or regret about what she did.
Manson follower Leslie Van Houten was released last year after I believe about 50 years in prison. She was stunning, articulate and came from a good family. It's crazy how f...d up these women were. Thx Jeff
Everything about Manson and his "family" is creepy! I have a suggestion for something you may want to cover, if you can locate its history. There's an old stone house, I think it was built in the 1800s. It's out Monte Vista Ave, going toward Hickman Rd. The windows are boarded up, but someone has punched or cut a hole in one. Some of the stones are missing, leaving depressions in the concrete. There's a small outbuilding, also built from river rocks. I'm told there were horses and milk cows there once upon a time ago. I'd love to know the history of the place. Is that something you'd consider looking into?
