Corcoran, California (CNN) -- Notorious killer Charles Manson, 77, was denied parole Wednesday after a California parole panel "could find nothing good as far as suitability" for his being paroled, a commissioner said.

Manson didn't show up for his parole hearing, which was held at a state prison in Corcoran, California, where he is serving a life sentence.

Manson's next parole hearing was scheduled for 15 years from now, meaning he could die in prison.

Dennis and his wife 2011

Another question from the Feb 24th "Babies" post.

Orwhut asked-

Has anyone heard how Dennis is doing in his battle with Cancer?

Dennis Rice's inactive site "Free Indeed Ministries" focused on Dennis' travels over the world preaching his Manson 2 Jesus teachings to convert prisoners to the straight and narrow through Christianity.

Eviliz was contacted last year from one of Dennis' flock who provided me this link.

The link is to a church in Arizona where Dennis is active now. His "Free Indeed Ministry" was also out of AZ. Maybe his health is deteriorating since he gave up his traveling. The two photos above show his age progression over two years. According to his quote below he should of passed by now. Looks pretty good for liver cancer. There is a woman named Kathy at the church who might be his daughter.

"Rice asked if anyone had a parole date or knew they had only a short time left. He told them he was on his way out too, if his doctors were right. In May,(2010) Rice said he was diagnosed with liver cancer and his doctor gave him six to nine months, at most, a year to live."

Cappy continues to speak with Charlie frequently on the phone. We know this 100% to be true.

We don't know for certain if she speaks with any of the other former Family members.

Catherine Gillies

Some little known facts about "Cappy" (Catherine Gillies):

An "extremely" reliable source tells us that she is still upset she was not chosen to go out on the murders. She said she supports her brothers and sisters in prison. She makes a very passionate argument that the murders were the right thing to do for those times.

Signs her name "Silver". We don't know if that is an "Order of the Rainbow" name or not.

Another source who communicates with her says, "Cathy doesn't put down anyone or say mean things about anyone. She is a very pleasant person. Sure she'll tell funny stories about folks but will not make mean comments".

Weird, there are more Ella pics available now than of her in her youth.

The only one from then is the courthouse pic from a previous post.

Ella Jo Bailey age 27 (1971 during the Hinman/Shea trial)

I did some research on Ella Jo since I really don't know much about her. She showed up on the scene with Sadie. Ella Jo herself said she felt it was her own fault Gary was killed. It was her that suggested Gary might have money when Charlie was looking for cash to buy some dune buggies needed for Helter Skelter. Charlie invited Ella along to help persuade Gary. She declined. After hearing that Gary was murdered the day before, she fled the ranch with Bill Vance never to return again. She became a very important witness for the state. She is presently married with two daughters and a son.

Good site with all the newspaper articles on Ella testifying:
