Unknown girl in pic: Question from Eviliz

A pic sent to me which I think originated at Helter Skleter Forum. Does anyone know who the girl in this pic is?  It looks like it was taken in the jail at Spahn Ranch.

On Susan Murphy: From Candy and Nuts

what has happened to her - in photos she was definitely following RED and BLUE-I know once she got to terminal island prison she hit a guard and tried to escape after this Red wrote some statement that Susan Heather Murphy wasn't Manson family as they don't want violence ( hello?) Ive included some pics of her-wonders did they give her the name Heather? did she wear red robe or have her own color? I'm sure she knows a lot of RED and BLUe be interesting for her thoughts Also the link with PAtty Hearst she spent time in prison with REd and BLue and wrote about them in her autobiography also in Taming of the Beast Charlie asks RED on the phone about Patty HEarst would be interesting topic

I saw a group in the 70's called the Desert Sun in Independence, CA who were X Mansonites. Do you have any info on them?

Book: The White Album - by Joan Didion

The White Album is an autobiographical literary essay detailing loosely related events in the author's life in the 1960s, primarily in Los Angeles. In the course of describing her ongoing psychological difficulties, Didion discusses Black Panther Party meetings, drug-related experiences, a Doors recording session, various other interactions with LA musicians and cultural figures.

Didion also discisses several prison meetings with Linda Kasabian, who at the time was testifying against Manson, Krenwinkel, Atkins and Van Houten for the TLB murders. Apparently, Sharon had been an acquaintance of Didion's. The murder trial cast a cloud of fear over Hollywood that seemed to propel many of Didion's insights. The impression conveyed is one of a city and nation pervaded by paranoia and detachment.

The book is available at Amazon.com

The TLB Kill Zone

 

View the Googe Map HERE

Have you ever seen a map like this of a "kill zone"? Today it's one of the "first" things an FBI profiler would create.

On one side is Cielo, on the other is Waverly. Connect the outer 4 points of the cross and you will have the "kill zone" or claimed turf. There right in the middle is the Laural Canyon "actors / musicians colony".

The "Actors" panicked out when TLB happened. Drugs were already heavy in the colony, so when the musicians moved in it only increased.

Bruce Davis Decision - Is The Tide Turning?

                                                           
I read an interesting piece the other day which made me wonder again about Bruce. Does he possibly know more, and could he really get out and away without talking about it? A few years ago I never would have given a minutes credence to the idea of him walking free. But, lately I am hearing more and more opinions and ideas which are making me start to wonder just a bit. Even Conservatives are starting to suggest that it could be conceivable that MR. Bruce Davis is getting closer to going home. The following is an article I read by Debra Saunders who is a conservative columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle. Syndicated by Creators Syndicate, her thrice weekly column is also carried by newspapers throughout the country and on townhall.com. I didn't include all the links in her piece but the relevant one about the Governors record is at the bottom....

Odds are Manson killer Bruce Davis goes free

                                                  

“A parole board panel has recommended the release of a former Charles Manson follower imprisoned for 40 years for a double murder Manson engineered, but it’s not the last hurdle Bruce Davis will face as he seeks his freedom,” the Associated Press reported.  

But this is how the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation announced what happened:  

             

Parole Granted for Former Manson Family Member Bruce Davis  

       

San Luis Obispo — “ The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s Board of Parole Hearings (BPH) issued a grant of parole today for convicted killer and former Charles Manson associate Bruce Davis, 69, during a parole consideration hearing at California Men’s Colony. Today’s decision was the result of Davis’ 27th parole suitability hearing.  Davis was not convicted in the infamous 1969 Sharon Tate or LaBianca killings. His conviction was for the 1969 first-degree robbery/murders of musician Gary Hinman and stuntman Donald “Shorty” Shea. Steve Grogan also was convicted for those crimes. In 2010 the parole board also recommended parole for Davis in January 2010, but Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger reversed the ruling. Gov. Jerry Brown has 120 days to do likewise, or not.  

What will Brown do?

       

Spokesman Gil Duran declined comment when asked by the Associated Press. If Duran responds to my email, I shall post an update. Michael Rushford of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation told me he thinks Davis should die in prison, but “I think he’s going to get out. I think Jerry’s going to let him out.” As he wrote here, Rushford believes that Brown has returned to the sort of anti-law enforcement views that led him to appoint Rose Bird as California Chief Justice during his first stint as governor. Rushford cited a Sacramento Bee story that found Brown let stand roughly 82 percent of the board’s decisions to parole convicted killers last year. By comparison, Schwarzenegger let stand 27 percent of such cases, while Gray Davis affirmed two percent of parole grants for murderers.

I wonder how this decision will affect how Californians vote on Proposition 34, the ballot measure to end the state’s capital-punishment law.

Pupfish numbers decline in Devils Hole

Posted on26 October 2012.
Special to the Pahrump Valley Times

AMARGOSA VALLEY — A September population survey of the endangered Devils Hole pupfish produced a count of 75 fish, a drop from 119 counted in the fall of 2011.

This number is considered to be an indicator of the actual population size based on a methodology that has been in use for 40 years. The iridescent blue, inch-long fish’s only natural habitat is in the 93-degree waters of Devils Hole, which is a detached unit of Death Valley National Park.

Biologists conduct surveys of the Devils Hole pupfish, Cyprinodon diabolis, twice each year, in the fall and spring.

The short-lived species has a lifespan of approximately one year and experiences a natural high and low cycle, with the population in the fall being greater than that in the spring due to natural die-off during the winter months.

“We continue to be concerned about the status of the population, which has generally been declining since 1997,” said Ted Koch, state supervisor for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “The good news is, the fish the biologists saw appeared to be quite healthy.”

In the fall of 1997, the population surveys started to indicate a downward trend for unknown reasons, reaching an all-time low of 38 fish in the spring of 2006 and 2007. The Devils Hole pupfish was listed as endangered in 1967. Although the cavern is over 400 feet deep, the pupfish are believed to have their greatest spawning success on a shallow rock shelf just beneath the water’s surface.

While biologists will not speculate about the cause of the population decline, they believe the count might have been influenced by three natural events that took place this year. Violent pressure waves occurred in Devils Hole in March 2012 from an earthquake in southern Mexico measuring magnitude 7.4, and a magnitude 7.3 quake in El Salvador in August.

Also in August, heavy rains washed a substantial amount of dirt, rocks, and other debris onto the shallow shelf and deeper into the hole. Although these are natural events, they occurred in a short time frame and created unique conditions that were possibly stressful for the pupfish.

Nonetheless, biologists have observed increased spawning behavior after such disturbances. Earthquakes have the tendency to remove material from the shallow shelf that is important for feeding. Conversely, floods bring much needed nutrients into the ecosystem.

Devils Hole is a detached unit of Death Valley National Park located on the Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. It is managed by the National Park Service, while the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Nevada Department of Wildlife coordinate with NPS in the protection of and recovery efforts for the Devils Hole pupfish. The main objective of the agencies is a continued focus on the native population and its ecosystem.

Bobby Beausoleil's invention - the "Syntar"

Bobby Beausoleil plays his invention, the syntar. The synthisizer/guitar was made while he was in CMC prison. He was convicted of the murder of Gary Hinman and was an associate of Charles Manson. ©2010 Doug Parker/Telegram-Tribune published 12-13-1984

On Dec. 13, 1984, a story was published of a cheerful looking Beausoleil playing a synthesizer/guitar invention he called the syntar. His circuit designs were featured in a nationally published electronic music magazine, "Polyphony."

"I would give anything to someday be known as something other than a murderer, " he said in the Dec. 13, 1984, story.

A year later, allegations of child pornography surfaced after CMC officials discovered drawings and stories Beausoleil had written about spanking and had planned to mail to his wife Barbara. She then lived in Arroyo Grande and published newsletters "Sassy Bottoms" and "Domestic Discipline Digest" according to a Dec. 3, 1986, story. A postal inspector later said the material was not categorized as child pornography.

Prison reports from the 1980s described the convict as intelligent and having a good prison record, but the specter of Charles Manson is in the room at every parole hearing. In a Dec. 10, 1987, story, he said, "I feel like every time I come to one of these hearings, I have Mr. Manson sitting next to me," he said.

"I despise what the man represents … If I had known about what the man was about then, I wouldn’t have associated with him."

Satans Slaves Motorcycle Club

Weve had the question asked in the past about what may have happened to the Satans Slaves Motorcycle Club. This question normally has come up when discussing Joe Dorgan. Well, it looks like we finally know:

Thank you for visiting our website. Hells Angels SFV was founded Jan 1st of 1978. We are very proud of our heritage as this charter was originally the Satans Slaves M/C. We still have active charter members in SFV that go back in the Slaves as far as the mid 60's.

The Tex Tapes - New News or Same Old Story ??

 View Here  

This is a good, brief, summary for those who are not exactly sure what all the hype is about regarding the “Tex Tapes." This will fill in the blanks. Casey Jordan seems to be more capable of having a reasonable conversation about this subject than most I have heard in a major media interview.  I don’t think that there will be anything new on these tapes personally, but if I am wrong?? Information which could have made a difference, and given some answers to people who have been desperately searching for them- would have been right there locked away all these years??
