00:00 I was a member of the Manson family.

00:03 What was it about Charlie Manson that made these women join his family?

00:17 I didn't have any family to speak of.

00:20 She wanted desperately to be part of something.

00:23 Everything was about Charlie.

00:25 I never saw fulfillment and happiness in the people I looked up to.

00:31 I'd say meeting Manson saved my life.

00:33 I am thankful.

00:37 From my perspective, I was looking for a place to be a part of something bigger than just

00:43 myself.

00:55 Charlie, he's the smartest person I ever met.

00:58 He was alive.

01:00 He had what I wanted.

01:23 They didn't say that.

01:25 I didn't feel bad that these people were dead.

01:29 I didn't even know they were alive.

01:31 The horror that she must have felt.

01:44 In that moment, a person has a choice to do something that is so against human nature

01:51 to kill someone.

01:54 War is not murder.
