9: The horrific crimes of The Manson Family cult - Part 2

Killers, Cults and Queens

Cheryl 'Creepy' Hole and Nikki Druce are back to uncover the horrendous crimes of The Manson Family Cult. Picking straight back up where we left off, Cheryl and Nikki arrive at Spahn Ranch, where Charles is just about to take his love for music to a whole new level… How did a chance meeting with a Beach Boy and the classic Beatles track Helter Skelter spiral into the brutal murders of at least seven innocent people, and how did Charles manipulate his followers to do the unthinkable? Cheryl and Nikki are about to find out. Expect the house guests from hell, places that REALLY shouldn’t be used as a toilet, and the end of one of the most awful manipulators in history.
This episode contains graphic details of violence and murder, including violence against a heavily pregnant woman and is not intended for all audiences. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
