- Lynette Fromme and Dianne Lake, who lived with the so-called "Manson Family" for years, spoke to ABC News about how the group's 1969 murders shaped their lives and impacted American culture.
Squeaky still sounds so brain-washed. Watch out for her!
Squeaky is a true psychopath. Watch the Robert Hendrickson documentary from 1973 called MANSON.
Squeaky openly states that there's "nothing wrong with killing." A true nut case.
@@paulhart3812 Meanwhile the American president murders people everyday. Hmmm
@@cleangreen2210 .. I agree. Trump is just another cult leader who sends out racist dog whistles for his crazed followers to act upon.
@@paulhart3812 Yup. The largest best-funded, evilest cult ever, brother.
@@cleangreen2210 We just saw one of Trump's cult members shoot up a Walmart in El Paso.
I doubt that Squeaky will ever snap out of it.
I am shocked that she is free and not regreting a thing, and thinking that manson should be free, while girls who truly regret what they have done sit in prison
@@HK-gm8pe Though she only pointed a gun
@CharlyRomeo2009 Lynette Fromme is that you under that name Charlyromeo2009???
@Hailey Q she didn't participate in any of the murders. She tried to assassinate the president.
Manson is dead.
SHES TELLING THE TRUTH STUPID DO THE RESEARCH
Squeaky still seems like a danger to society since she is still in Love with Manson! There is too much glee in her eyes! She should still be locked up.
@CharlyRomeo2009 you are one weird thing.you like the word intense dont you.nothing being said here is very intense.are you ok?
Not "glee" in eyes but "insanity"..."crazed" eyes.
she seems lovely to me
Yeah sure Girl at the Party ...Manson is dead for about 2 years now .... Do some research before spitting out shit
She's old as hell and Manson died 2 years ago, she's no threat to society and she didn't kill anyone like the others
Squeaky is insane: “he never told me to kill anyone.” Ok, but he did tell other people to . . . Soooo
She was a boney bitch couldn't do shit
He didn't order her cause she didn't want to kill. Rest did... soo...
Wrong
How would you know?
He did??
Sharon was so beautiful and was so happy her little baby would be born soon. People say she was so sweet and you can see that in her pictures. She had a little nursery she decorated for the baby and would have been such a wonderful mother. People that are fans of Manson are pure garbage. You look at what they did to all those people, but it's Sharon that bothered me the most.
She was begging Susan Atkins to not kill her and her baby and Sharon looked at her and said " Look bitch, I don't care about you or your baby" then proceeded to stab her and her unborn baby to death. Just absolutely incomprehensible the evil in these monsters. My heart is beyond broken for all the victims, but like I said, it was Sharon's death that bothers me the most.
Actually Paul wasn't stabbed to death, if Sharon's autopsy had been an hour earlier he would have lived.
@@doxholiday1372 An hour? Nope.
Dox Holiday The victims had all been dead for close to 10 hours before their bodies were discovered. Her baby could have only survived for up to 20 minutes inside of her after she passed. Very sad.
Dox Holiday actually, if they had been able to do an emergency caesarean 20 minutes after the mother’s’ death, they could have saved the baby. But Sharon wasn’t even found until about 7/8 hours after her death.
@@nic0lebieb3r My bad, I meant within an hour from when she died. My point was that he wasn't wounded.
Squeaky is about to start her own cult lmao
Anubis X hehe look out squeaky is coming
She’s gonna continue to try to do it for Charlie
Too ugly and no charisma lol.
it's called:
McDonalds
No she's too much of a follower for that more likely to be pulled into a cult
Squeeky is still nutty
Squeaky = Airhead
@countzero87 You do know she was released ten yrs ago. She married and living in NY.
She is quite amusing. Kinda has an innocence - or naivety - about her. I want to read her book 'Reflexion'.
@@lancesteel4594or a strong minded feminist.
Squeaky attempted assassination on Ford for Charlie and begged to have him at trial. Then when she learned he had testicular cancer, she escaped prison to see him and was recaptured.
After getting paroled, she married a former convict murderer who also loved Charles Manson and aspired to be like him. The two live in upstate NY and walk their dogs and live a quiet life in a house decorated by skulls. Sick.
Watch the Manson lost tapes and see how she is preparing to kill for Charlie. They should never have let her out. The only thing that led to her release was the fact that the gun didn’t go off and she claimed to have discharged a bullet prior to faking an attempt. They found a shell casing in her apt and I guess they believed her but I wouldn’t put it past her to kill Dianne for this and other interviews. She is not stable.
True JC. In that Robert Hendrickson documentary, Squeaky opening claims "killing is not wrong." She's still a danger to society.
I read somewhere that she was only let out on parole because she has really bad schizophrenia and couldn’t be controlled. I’m not sure if that was a very reliable website though
Squeaky was one of the first environmental whackos...........everyone else is descended from her. Change my mind.
@Dakoda Fisher i literally said "idk if that was a reliable source" but it was in an article and 3 documentaries i've watched about the members and their lives. i didn't make any of it up
@Dakoda Fisher i have no idea i literally stopped watching more documentaries after they kept saying that bc it was sketchy. like they are definitely keeping some secret from the public about her if they can keep notorious serial killers in cells for life but not her
I can’t believe Squeaky is free
Judy Bailor She tried to assassinate the Pres! How’d she get out???
@@KDL861 she is on a United States Secret Service watch list.
Frank Denardo GOOD! I still don’t understand how or why she was released!
@@KDL861 I guess she did her time. She along with David Arthur Bremmer, and Sara Jane Moore are on a United States Secret Service watch list. They are prohibited from attending political events. The late Sandra Goode when she was living in Fresno California was not allowed to visit Charles Manson when he was at the state prison in Corcoran, California which is near Bakersfield.
Frank Denardo I guess I’m thinking trying to kill s president is an unforgivable crime. I don’t know the law, but in my opinion she should be in for life! Just because she missed doesn’t mean she’s not a threat anymore. Law enforcement should’ve set a precedent for the whole of America and the world. I understand she’s on a watch list, but what the heck? 🤬
I’m glad that woman got help. And that she got adopted. I can’t imagine how horrible being in a cult is. Squeaky shouldn’t be out and about. She’s still brainwashed.
Apparently she lives in new york in a house decorated with skulls. pretty fucked up.
@@ignatiuspennyfeatherix4376 Of course, she's a Satanist. They were all dabbling in the occult.
@Wintruz she tried to murder someone ding dong. It’s not “thinking differently” it’s attempted murder. The other former Manson person didn’t attempt murder
@@ignatiuspennyfeatherix4376 I live in NY... do you know where?
@@Zzzk23 Well, she held an empty gun against President Ford. Hard to murder someone without a bullet.
Here after Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Here after The Girls by Emma Cline... I know it's just me🤷
@@emmiemust6033 would you recommend?
@@darrentimlin9719 oh definitely, one of the best coming of age and historical fiction books I've ever read👌 it Is very controversial as you can imagine and pretty graphic but the writing and the way this author Made feel like you were experiencing everything through the protagonist point of view
me too!
Peach Boy here after The Haunting of Sharon Tate
I was about 4 months pregnant when this happened. It haunted me and still haunts me.
But not the daily mass murder spawned by your Republican Party?
It always will.
Unbelievable how parents would allow their 14 year old daughter to go off with a weirdo convict like that.
They pawned her off on him.they didn't want her anymore
@@renatawarec Korea?
How sad for her.
@@jackiegoodspeed1849 what do u mean by korea? Im not sure what that means
@@renatawarec
Good question. I never wrote that.
@@renatawarec
I think spell check struck again. Lol.
Fromme did not age well at all. She sounds just as twisted as she was back then.
Squeaky Fromme was honored to know him ? She obviously learned her lesson.
Tracy Frederick
She’s a sick bitch. Never should have been set free. Maybe one day she’ll get the karma she deserves
Tracy Frederick shocked when she said that.
Squeaky looks like she's turning into yoda." Mmmmm... Yes , In love with Charlie am I still".
canogaJE Dont disrespect yoda like that
I wonder what she thinks of Lesile Van Hosun.
She won't be a wise Yoda.
Lmfaooooo
😅😅
That’s Squeaky?
The red haired girl? Like wow she doesn’t look anything like she did back then
She’s the only one who didn’t learn her lesson, The main three girls all “learned” their lessons and understood why they were in jail yet Squeaky didn’t.. and that’s scary
Squeaky isn't the only nut still hooked on Manson. Sandy Good is still crazy as a loon to this day.
Lynnette never says anything about the terror Tate went through , her last 15 minutes of life were unimaginable being the last to die pleading for her baby’s life to a woman who had earlier given birth ( Atkins ) lake heard first hand about the murders the day after by the murderers themselves. That’s what made her a witness she was not a distant family member trying to sell a book
that doesn´t make her a witness, that makes her an accomplice.
@@LauRa-re9un she wasnt physically there,I'm almost sure that's not an accomplice, or the entire Manson gang would be in prison.
@@renatawarec Well another fact You just do not know what you are talking about as earlyer on in this comment section.... Lets see here ...eeeuhh MANSON wasnt wasnt Physically there neither, .....
@@Hanzey1966 but he orchestrated the murders.big difference. You didn't know that??
Neither Lynette or Sandra Good ever voiced any sympathy for the victims or their families. Quite the opposite. They simply didn’t care about what any of them went through, and saw them as a means to an end. Pawns in their attention-seeking game. I think they are both interesting, but extremely messed up mentally and emotionally. There’s something deeply wrong with both of them and my guess is that was the case long before either of them met Manson.
The degree of kook that Fromme is can't be explained away with LSD use .
lol
Squeaky's brain is broken beyond repair.
Sums up many of that 60s generation. It is amazing how many of them never snapped out of it.
@@deanpd3402
Too much LSD
She was his favorite
I remember being around people that thought exactly like this from time to time during the seventies.
No, you can't be talked into that kind of horrific murder, unless you're just a murderer.
Tom Cruise reminds me of Squeaky; they’re too far gone in their cults.
Tom is in a cult???
@@PaperbackboyK9 Ever heard of Scientology?
@@PaperbackboyK9 u didn't know that?
@@bijeY2K Leslie Van Houton requested in May 2020 to be released from prison after the covid pandemic struck her prison one of Leslie's inmates had caught the virus this motivated her to ask for release from prison but it was denied in July 2020 Leslie had a parole hearing which then had a 120 day process afterwards finally on Saturday November 28th 2020 Leslie Van Houton was denied parole by a member of the board who had in fact denied her release from prison once before
Tom Cruise has a few screws loose too.
Loved Dianne Lakes book “Member of the Family” it really dove me into the 1960s and place me into her shoes and put things into perspective of how things were back there and how sadistic Manson was. You guys should def check it out!
I just recently finished her book and really liked it too.
Me too. Good book
Be a great movie
me too, great book!
One of my favorite books!
Squeaky is so far gone it's sad. Her and Good should be in a psychiatric ward as they're still so obsessed
Anyone else watching this after, "Once upon a time in Hollywood"?
Meee
giangstr right here!😂
I loved that movie.
It's too bad that "God's grace" wasn't there for Sharon and the others.
God's will 🤣🤣🤣😏
Why do you suppose that ? ... If all things happen for a reason God's grace was not needed here . As thy will be done .wonder what we have learnt from this as a global society?.
People do sick things, they have free will. If you don’t believe in anything that’s fine, but you haven’t died so you have no idea what is beyond this world. Comments like this are just stupid.
@@liz16texas you have no idea what's beyond this world either so no, it's not a stupid comment.
@@liz16texas goodness your quite insulting arnt you ! How do you know whom has and has not died ! You do not know your statements are irrelevant
People always say oh he didn't say that. HE ADMITS IT. The girls shaved there heads for him . You don't do that for someone you arnt devoted too. ALSO YOU KNOW MURDER
This is how inadvertently they gave themselves away.. All the prosecution had to do was say, "look how they do everything Charlie says even murder". .
@@gingerbaker4390 Charlie had no idea he was playing into the prosecution hands when he played his little games. It just showed how much control and influence he really had
Cults are still the same
What cults are there today
The cult of Hollywood.
The cult of America.
The cult of republicans.
The cult of democrats.
The cult of third(?) wave feminism.
Etc, etc, etc.
This looks like a cult to me.
@@DamonCassada345 the cult of white supremist so called Christians 80m in USA.
Yes. Same tactics.
Lynette shouldn't have been let out, you can tell she still has that mindset especially when she admits shes still inlove with Manson
Squeaky used to give the quickie to a 80 years old Spahn. Totally nuts this one.
I read Diana's book and I can only say thank God that she was not among the girl's that Mason chose to go to that house that fateful night. Her story could have been very different to what it is today.
Pimping girls in the name of “freeing your sexual inhibition”...exactly what Hugh Hefner did.
Kerry these girls did it freely.
BeanFromPA they were drugged up
It was also as punishment. Manson said if a girl couldn’t think for herself then he would put them out to the streets.
not really, those girls were willing to do that and they made a ton of money off of it. If it were not for Hugh Hefner, Kendra Wilkinson would still be in San Diego waiting tables somewhere trying to make ends meet. He kick started and opened a lot of doors for plenty of those willing girls.
Manson was a scumbag, murdering pimp type. Hefner was not. big difference.
That Fromme is so fucked up. She's freaking nuts. Lady needed to be in there with him.
I remember this, it scared me then and it still scares me.
I was a kid and had nightmares
They didn't stand a chance against Cliff Booth and his dog Brenda!
Squeaky is still tripping.
Lynette should still be in jail - very disturbed woman.
Fromme should still be in jail.
Scary that these girls are around 10 years older than me. Squeaky was released from Ft Worth. I was shocked to find out she was being held here. She seems like she is still on acid.
I'm so happy for Diane that she got to have semi-normal life. It's not easy to bounce back from that kind of brainwashing. I would know 💔
Because your a Trump supporter? 😂😂😂
No it isn't easy.
She should have told Dan Harris how to pronounce those names correctly. Smh
I am so tired of people emphasizing only Sharon Tate's death. Others died horribly too.
I think it’s because she was pregnant and more known than the rest of the victims. But I completely agree. People also don’t talk enough about 18 year old Steven parent. He was just trying to drive home from a friends house. I’m about to be 20 and I can’t imagine that being how I die.
And donald shorty shea's death also R.I.P to all the victims.
Exactly and wasn't there only a lad around age 18 who was killed at his car? He was barely an adult
Squeaky is still nuts
Squeaky. Still crazy after all these years.
Looking at Squeaky shows you a reason not to do drugs.
Squeaky Fromme's face should be on dog food cans.
Not even that...try cat litter...
Charlie tried to give Snake(Dianne) back to her parents and later to Gary Hinman .
She kept running back to him
He didn't want her around any more because she was acting out because he got bored with sleeping with her and replaced her as Concubine No 1
I had an Asian Cooking night class at Sacramento State U with Sandy Good. She used to ask me to give her a ride home after class because my apartment was about 3 blocks from her place. The class ended and Sandy thanked me for all the rides and asked me if I'd come up to her apartment so that her and her roommate Squeaky could show me a very very good time. I declined the offer. That summer Squeaky pointed a pistol at Gerald Ford at the State Capitol. No.... I did not know who either of them were.
Wow. I wonder what that good good time was? Weren't you curious? Lol. Maybe drugs🤔
Good job for turning her down.
I am a huge fan of the musical Assassins. In which Squeaky is a character, I always believed that her craziness was an over-exageration. But now that I see this, she is most definately insane and out of her mind. Sondheim got her just right, which is honestly terryfing.
Oh yeah, she's been loony tunes the whole time. I can remember seeing her interviewed in the 80's and she freaked out on the interviewer once his questions started making her question her own thinking. I don't remember who the guy was, Geraldo maybe, but she kicked him out her house.
@@TheIndependentLens You’re thinking of Sandra Good, Squeaky’s bestest (aside from Manson). It was not Geraldo. Early 90s. Sandra went in, for a different crime, around the same time as Lynette but was released much sooner. Lynette never did an interview outside of prison back then.
@@EastSide-qc5oy Maybe it was Sandra Good. I'm sure I could probably find it.
@@TheIndependentLens There are a couple of different videos of Sandy being interviewed sometime after her release when she was living in Vermont. Steve Dunleavy was one of the reporters who she sat with. He was more of a tabloid journalist and worked for a show called A Current Affair. Robert Downey Jr.’s character in the movie Natural Born Killers was supposedly partially based on him. That interview with Sandra became very contentious. There’s another one with a younger reporter from either the same tabloid show or similar which also became tense but that reporter wasn’t quite as over the top as Dunleavy.
This documentary is made all the more timely considering the situation America's in today.
Fromme is sickening, happy to never hear from her again.
Squeaky reminds me of those FLDS wives (the ones that don't try to run away).
Squeaky sounds a little nuts. Why did she sound disappointed that he didn't order her to murder someone?? Still in love with him. AFTER ORDERING PEOPLE TO KILL OTHERS!! What the hell is wrong with her.
She was his favorite
Just read the book Chaos by Tom O Neil. Manson was a pawn of the government just like Oswald, Ruby, and Sirhan Sirhan.
😆
I love the alternate ending in once upon a time in Hollywood
These people were extremely warped it still gives me the heebie-jeebies 50 years later 😧☹️😲
Diane lakes book is an amazing read if anyone wants more info about this
it really is
How could you be in love with evil ?
That lengthy prison sentence didn't do a thing for her.
Manson will always be a God to Squeaky, and that's so sad.
The first women is crazy. It's obvious since what those people did does not affect her
I was in elementary school when this went down and thought Donna Douglas ( Elly Mae ) was the pretty blond who was killed. I dont know why I thought that but still remember a great sadness.
His followers had a choice....
Heres a fun fact for yall. Squeaky does in fact appear in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, shes portrayed by Dakota Fanning
I will never understand this obsession with being needed.
Everyone seems to forget about Stephen Parent who was the first one killed on the first night before Sharon and her friends- he was the Caretaker of 10050 Cieclo Drive
he was just there to sell a stolen radio to the caretaker I think his murder was the worst because he didn't have anything to do with anyone at the house he didn't even know the caretaker that well
To think they may have gotten away with it, or at least not found out sooner if Susan didn’t blab to her cell mates
Thank goodness for her cell mate.
They was victims of Charles Manson bull crap they did what they wanted to do if the drugs hyped their behavior nobody told them to do the drugs those are choices that they made for themselves Charles Manson didn't put them in lock and chains and force the drugs into them
who's here after watching his sons interview?
*Queen OGreen What? Where can I find that?
@@KDL861 not quite sure.. was in my recommend section, was bu the new tour times.. look it up 😁
Squeaky is still suspicious af
Insanity should never be an excuse for withholding the death penalty.
Squeaky..is STILL crazy..she would kill for Manson ...TODAY
Ohh yes she would
Lynette ruined her life she could have been so much more.
When somebody knows your weaknesses,, they used it to influence you. Even up to this generation, so many people using the same tactics..
I thought that thumbnail was George Bush in a wig.
🎞 Bush could NEVER look that good
jscsassy bruh moment
We need to stop giving these people so much attention.
Manson and his followers were planning to go into the desert and live a Mad Max kind of life.
I wasn’t born then but in reading up on Charles Mason is mind boggling how all those people could follow his crazy behind
Squeaky is still crazy as hell to this day but that is some devotion
if you are swimming with the sharks you aint no damned goldfish
Saying that you’re a “Victim” is only trying to make you feel better. Seven people lost their lives for no reason at all. Consider them victims. Rest In Peace.
Dianne Lake didn't kill anyone. She was 14 when she joined the Family. She was a victim.
She didn't do any of the crimes. She was beaten and raped by him. Her book was backed up by the guy she mentions
Yep.. Dianne was repeatedly raped when she was only 14. He victimized these women. Then some victimized others.
such an uneducated comment. she was 14 for goodness sake.
Squeaky IS evil
Some one on another page said Charlie had it hard and never got a chance because of his hard life.
I call bullshit! Lots of people have been abused, bullied, rapped, molested and other horrific shit and went on to have predictive lives.
They all had choices and they choose poorly.
They made people who had nothing to do with there pain pay for it.
They need to rot in prison.
He also had a fairly high IQ.so he was a stupid smart guy.what a waste.he ruined so many lives.
They used to hang in Simi valley California behind the thirty store they used to dig in the dumpster for broken toys and they had the x on heads me and my brother was there for toys 1968 too we saw them and ran for our lives so scared of them 5 and 6 we were evil people
Fromme is still crazy AF I see 🙄
These people are crazy...should never walk the streets
How are women like this able to find men and start families, while good decent men can't even get a date or a text back ??
Yikes
Because sadly women are attracted to evil.
Diane gives us the ole pity trip.. charlie taught them well they look for nieve men like Charlie did with them
Squeaky creeps me out
The annoying outro needs to go
Paul watkins got out also before the insanity.
there's a video of him at the ranch while the trial was going on someone even tried to kill him by setting the van on fire that he was sleeping in
out of all that were in the Family.... why was she released ?
Because our legal system is screwed up. She's very dangerous.
It's interesting to note that Fromme never went back home, she was brainwashed by Manson and that was it.
so very sad that these young people met him How different their lives would have been.
Marlene Ful it would have been someone else if not them..
It's not about them. If you read about Squeaky her dad was crazy, neglectful and irresponsibly banished her from home over a mild disagreement. You don't make your child homeless for any reason let alone a mild disagreement. She has no reason to lie about her father after all these years. Esp because it was such a minor thing if it was more she could have exaggerated to get sympathy. Hence I believe her. So my point is: terrible parents. Did. This. Including Manson's. Read about how he was sentenced to decades imprisonment for cashing in a cheque from gambling. Is that a miscarriage of justice? Yes. Would it cause an intelligent person to lose it and resent the system and abuse drugs as soon as they could, given the rest of his history and upbringing? Yes. I'm not apologizing. I'm saying this is not a case where you can say "if they hadn't met this person" the people in authority with responsibility failed every one of the group
@@frivolityrestores9608 Sharon Tate was only two weeks away from giving birth when she was killed by members of the Charles Manson family all of the culprits were eventually caught and charged in connection with the murders criminal proceedings began in June 1970 the trial lasted for over nine months until late March 1971 when Charles Manson and three women accomplices of his group were sentenced to death by gas chamber but had their sentences commuttted into life in prison in early 1972
Manson "was a con." Well said.
If u don't stand for nothing, u'll fall for anything....
Well like Dom Toretto said
"Nothing more important than family"
Squeaky would have so been one of the girls who killed. She would have been standing there with susan, pat, and leslie. She got lucky that Manson didn't ask her to go.
Most of the girls wanted to go.leslie van Houten begged to go on the labianca kill.
Too bad she doesn't have the sense to realize this.
Some of his followers are way scarier than Chuckles.
I wonder if Squeaky knows about people applauding and laughing at her death in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood
That was actually Susan Atkins, (the one-time member of the church of satan), that was being portrayed.
Squeaky is nuttier than a fruitcake.
