43 Years Ago This Week

We at Eviliz are extending to our members the chance to write something in your own words to commemorate the fast approaching anniversary of the crimes.

It can be anything you like within reason.  Maybe write in your own words what you think lead up to the crimes, or who went back to Cielo after the damage was done.  A small fiction story through one of  the killer's eyes.  Or a tribute to a certain victim.  I am just tossing out ideas, feel free to use your own creativity.  And let us not forget Donald Shea, Gary Hinman and John "Zero" Haught.

I plan on posting them depending on how may I receive starting tomorrow August 6th.  Short notice I know, my bad.  I will post all that I receive and no one will be turned away within reason.  Please nothing graphic. Don't forget to add the name you would like to be credited as or you can remain anonymous.

Send them only to Eviliz at- 1967mansonfamily@gmail.com

It's an Eviliz world

I'm just rambling here. ..

Being in the internet business I pay attention to trends and internet traffic across a variety of websites. Over time it has made me a stats junkie - even on this blog.

In reviewing stats for a few minutes each day I've noticed out of the thousands of visits we get daily - some extremely loyal readers in cities like Doylestown PA, Richardson TX, Sioux Center IA, Frackville PA, Richmond CA, Waukesha WI, Bronx NY, Lenoir NC, Virginia Beach VA and Seal Beach CA to name just a few. These are imprints that I see EVERY day.

I'm equally awed by the loyal readers we have in international cities like London, Paris, Sydney, Melbourne, Madrid, Stockholm & Munich.

But the ones that really give me a smile are the daily visits we get from loyal readers in far out places like Jakarta, Islamabad, Moscow, Abu Dhabi, Bangkok and one in Skopje Macedonia! Freakin' Skopje!

Thank you, everybody. Liz, Patty & I appreciate each and every one of you.

This reminds me of the time...

Mother Mary just after she said to her new friends, "Gee, this reminds me of the time I was in The Manson Family and we were all sitting around just like this during the Spahn Ranch raid. Man, do I wish we had some Orange Sunshine!"

Thank you, racestarr for the new Mary pic!

Followup from Sgt. Dostie

There are some very good comments on the Barker Ranch posting.

To answer one question, Film Crews are required to purchase a permit to film in a National Park. Of course when they applied for a permit to film at the Barker Ranch, the alarms went off and they sent two babysitters. I don't know if this would be the case if they were filming the wild flower bloom in April of doing a special on the lizards of Death Valley!

I would also like to mention that the film crew was very professional and the Director, Doug was very well prepared with some very good questions.

For those who are wondering, I did not accept payment or expenses for telling this story. I travel there on my own time at my own expense just like I did for the Eviliz Tour. All we are asking is that the Park Service and the Sheriff leave their egos by the door and bring these kids home that were at the wrong place at the wrong time in 1968 and 1969. This is a value that we hold to as Americans wether it is a murder victim here in the US or a service member who gave their life for their country overseas. It is simply the right thing to do. The only thing worse than having a loved one murdered is having a loved one go missing and not knowing what happened to them.

The science in this case is indisputable. The Gas Chromatograph / Mass Spectrometer analysis of soil samples on the sites at the Barker Ranch, match those of human burial sites around the world that we have collected.

I have attached a Google Earth GIS overlay of the sites as well as the exact GPS coordinates. All this data is accurate to within 18 to 24 inches. Feel free to post this data in case anyone would like to visit the area and stand on the exact spots.

I would [also] like to respond to Bobot420's very well researched comment. Those are indeed the rules. However, the NPS, specifically the Superintendent, can permit anything she wants, to a movie company as long as it does not create too much disturbance to the environment. If the film company was filming a remake of "Lassie" and little Timmy was lost in the sand dunes, and they wanted to film Lassie running on top of the sand dunes looking for Timmy, that would be permitted with no problem as it would show the beauty of the park. The four paws of Lassie would cause no more disturbance to the sand dunes than the 175 - 200 pound adult actors acting as searchers in the movie.

The same would apply to filming Buster alert on the sites at the Barker Ranch. He would simply sniff and passively lay down on top of the sites. When History Channel called the park for the filming permit, they were told from the outset that they would not allow Buster to work the sites before they even asked! He would be held to the letter of the law and in fact limited to established roads only as part of the permit.

I did interview a retired mid level manager from NPS Death Valley who worked for Superintendent Sarah Craighead. It is their opinion that Sarah does not want the public to know that bad things can happen in her National Park. The victims, and the families who are missing them, do not enter into Superintendent Craighead's decision making process. It is heartless but this is how she thinks. It is all about her and moving up the promotional ladder by not having any drama in her National Park.

In other words, there is nothing to see here, remain calm, all is well, move along now.

I know that this seems almost unbelievable that a high ranking Park Service Supervisor could mis-represent the truth like this, but it appears to be a practice that is condoned at the highest levels of the Park Service as evidenced by this:

As you can see, no matter what the facts and the science are, they will simply mis-represent the facts or make up their own facts. No one in the Drakes Bay case was fired.

Filing a complaint on Superintendent Craighead with her boss at Western Regional Headquarters in Oakland, would have the same result as filing a complaint on Frank (The Enforcer) Nitti with his supervisor, Al Capone.

Sgt. Dostie, Death Valley National Park and the Freedom of Information Act

Hi Guys,

I was up at the Barker Ranch today with a crew filming for the History Channel. It was 114 degrees out!

The Park Service had an armed ranger and the administrative assistant to the superintendent listening to every word I said. I wish I had taken a picture! They have a new rule written especially for me. No dog is allowed off of an established road. They let me walk from the parking area in 25 feet the front gate and we were turned around because we were off the road and in the front yard! That's it! What do you think they are afraid of? It was very interesting that the Park Superintendent sent her Administrative assistant to watch over us. Needless to say the last thing they wanted on film was Buster alerting on all the sites. I have never heard of a dog rule like this in a National Park. We could walk around the front yard and to the sites but Buster was not allowed to.

The Administrative Assistant is also the Death Valley National Park FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) officer. I filed a complaint on the Superintendent, Sarah Craighead, over a year and a half ago, that she is ignoring and covering up that there are several murder victims buried in the park she manages. There was a lot of interoffice emails and emails between the chief ranger and the sheriff. I have filed several FOIA requests and I have close to 3,000 pages of Emails and other documents. The administrative assistant to the Superintendent, Cheryl Chipman, redacted everything that I want! You can imagine how fair that is when I filed a complaint against her boss who writes her evaluations and decides on promotions.

I have appealed the redactions to the park service who rules on the park service. Guess how that turned out? After much research and talking to experts, I found out FOIA is a big joke. The only way you get what you want is to go to federal court and sue them. The vast majority of the time, the judge will rule in your favor. I simply cannot afford to hire an lawyer to put the case on in federal court. I am looking for a smart law student to put the case on with me, pro bono. The case would be in Sacramento.

I offered Cheryl Chipman two cold bottles of water to tell me what she redacted. She laughed and thought that was pretty funny. They got me good. But in reality, they are doing a great dis-service to the families of the missing. They very much enjoy exercising their power and showing who is in charge.

When I was there with you guys, if you posted pictures of Buster on the sites, I bet I would have been charged since they would have the evidence.

Also, myself and two Ph.D's, a Forensic Anthropologist and a former high ranking Archeologist who worked for the US Forest Service, now retired, applied for a permit from the Park Service to conduct scientific forensic excavations of the two burial sites on Park Service land. Park Superintendent Sarah Craighead refused to grant us a permit.

On a side note, they fixed Golar Wash so you can drive right up now. You can't even tell where the waterfall was located. We think it was the Myers family who fixed the road, not sure though. That part of the road is on BLM land.

Rare photos from the Spahn Ranch raid

These photos are all from the Spahn raid. Hearing/reading that there was an arsenal of weapons there didn't really sink in until we saw these photos. The visual of what was out there is pretty frightening, wouldn't you say?

Leslie's Other Look A Like

I thought about it and thought about it.  I really fought it.  I wasn't going to do it but, in the first Leslie Look A Like post after Austin Ann 74 brought it up, I couldn't resist.

Austin Ann said........Horseheaded hosebag......

Much more flattering pic wouldn't you say?

Leslie's look a like.

This may just be my own weird freaky hang –up, but I used to find it difficult to distinguish between Leslie Van Houten and Louise Lasser. I’m way over that now though.

Pirates of the Manson Family?

Does anyone know the origin of this picture of Bobby?  A lot of people have asked me about it over the years and I have no idea.  Anyone?
