Scott, this is one of the best interviews I have ever seen (on any subject), because you let the interviewee talk and didn't rush him. Steven had a lot to say and, unlike a lot of interviewers, you didn't interrupt him and asked him great questions. I really liked the follow up questions about what Manson was like in court. Very insightful. You and I emailed briefly about 15 years ago about historic house architecture in LA, and I am so happy to see how well you're doing. Keep up the great work!

I think he got a couple grand of the reward money. The police nearly threw the revolver away, not realizing it was connected to the Tate murders. It was probably the single most important piece of evidence in the case. The investigators tracked its history and traced it right to Manson's hands. Fine police work, excepting the weeks it was sitting in an evidence vault while flyers about it were sent to every police dept in the USA and Canada.

We used to go in what was called the Manson caves which I can't find anything on. Those caves went on forever, and we never made it to the end of them. Just curious if you ever been to them or even heard of them? There was always the rumor that the people living by the old ranch planted poison ivy around the area to keep people away.

In 1978 I was 7 years old living in Taft, California near Bakersfield. I remember watching the TV movie Helter Skelter with my mom. It was one of those movies/mini series she'd regret letting me watch. It must have been summertime or a Friday or Saturday because I was up way past my bedtime. I can still hear the lady newscaster from one of the Bakersfield News Stations coming on just as the ending credits started rolling saying "up next on the 10 O:Clock news Charles Manson up for parole". I'm not sure how I even knew what parole meant, but I must have because I went into panic mode. For at least a week I barely slept because I was convinced he was getting out and coming to our house to kill us. It wasn't until years later that I realized it had originally aired in 1976 and the TV station obviously rebroadcast it because Charlie was up for parole for the first time. That movie had such a profound affect on me as a kid.

Scott, It's interesting how people are still so interested in the Manson murder stories, and how many lives were touched by them. I have my own small connection story to tell you and it still freaks me out to this day. I graduated high school in June of 1969. The next month, my best friend Lynn invited me to some function, however I can't remember any specific details about what it was. But it was held early in the evening, and we're sitting outside on some bleachers looking down at a stage where people are setting up for some kind of performance. My friend Lynn says, "Look, I know that guy from school. Did you ever meet Steven Parent in any of your classes? He just graduated with us last month." I said that I didn't know him, but she pointed him out to me, and he seemed to be working on setting up some audio-visual equipment to record whatever it was that we came to see. She mentioned that he worked with audio-visual equipment at our high school, and we watched him moving around the stage for awhile. I remember he was wearing his horn-rim glasses and he had reddish hair. Then, a month later, he was dead at the hands of the Manson murderers, and his name and picture were in the news everywhere. I still can't get over that I knew of his existence just a month before he died, and that he graduated with me from my high school. Very surreal.

I think Steve's memory is (understandably) failing him a tad here. He wouldn't have seen Linda Kasabian sitting with the Manson and the three female defendants, as she was a witness (in fact, the _star_ witness) for the prosecution. And I'm not sure why he would have been in the courtroom for the coroner's testimony, as it was my understanding that witnesses cannot be present for other witness testimony, lest they be influenced. I'm wondering if it's that pesky Mandela effect again, and details he's learned in the years since then are blending with his child's disbelief that these pretty, petite young girls could kill seven people.

When I was five, I decided I wanted to be a police officer. It wasn't until I was 11 I received my cap gun and badge and handcuffs, though. The first thing my dad taught me was gun safety--for a cap gun! He taught me how to hold it, secure it, point it, and handle it. I was taught to use a stick to pick up a gun by the trigger area, and never molest it because it could very well be loaded. So, it struck me as weird when I read about how the cop handled a crucial piece of murder evidence, and I thought "How?!" But things were different then. Murders had happened before, but nothing of this magnitude. If absolutely nothing else came out of this, rules and procedures were completely overhauled and updated.

Im going to get my 84 year old mom to start watching them because she loves anything relating to Hollywood. I can really relate to the almost phobic fear you were talking about surrounding Charles Manson coming to get you when you were younger. Back in '79 I was reading a book that was written about Susan Atkins after watching Helter Skelter three years earlier, and i was really spooked. Around that time there was also a rumor that Charles Manson might get out of prison(he must have had a parole hearing at the time), and i was petrified that he was coming to get me lol. When I think back to my scary adolescent mind I laugh now. So you were not alone in that fear lol. Also like you, I'm a Detroiter as well .If I'm ever in Southern California I'll definitely look up your tour company so that mom and I can take one of your amazing tours, she'd love that.

The best way to honor those who died is to remain skeptical and keep asking questions? Sounds like you're trying to solve a case that's already been solved. It was solved 50+ years ago when Susan Atkins started bragging about the murders to her fellow prisoners (while she was being held for her role in the Hinman murder). Yeah, it's good that we keep asking questions to flesh out the story, but we're not going to discover "the truth" because the whole world already knows the truth --- Manson planned these murders and directed members of his 'Family' to carry them out. Only Manson himself knew his true motive, but I'd guess it was one of these four motives: 1) to send a message to Terry Melcher, 2) to commit a copycat crime (to the Hinman murder) that would deflect police attention away from suspect Bobby Beausoleil, 3) to obtain bail money for Family members Mary Brunner and Sandra Good, who'd been arrested on Aug. 8th for having a stolen credit card, or 4) to start a race war (Manson talked A LOT about that race war to lots of folks). It also could have been a combination of any 2 or 3 of those motives, or possibly a combination of all four.

Tex had started dealing dope big time with the bikers at Spawn, he got framed and was trying to save his ass, that is the strongest possibility I came across, he heard there would be tons of shit at Cielo on that night and it turned bad, they were all stoned out of their heads but Manson? No, he was Jesus, not the dope dealer from hell. ''First of all, you're misinformed as is everyone misinformed about so called "The Family." There was no organization called "The Family." The Family was a term given by the media to an amorphous group of people, some of whom went to prison in 1969. We lived on a ranch in the Santa Susanna mountains called the Spahn Ranch and later we lived in Death Valley. We didn't call ourselves anything but we made a lot of music and somebody said "Well, what do you call your group?" And somebody said, "Well, we're the Family Jams." So, over a period of time, because the media usually need to put labels on situations we got the name "The Family" but there were literally hundreds of people who came and went. Later on you might say, there was a core of people who were very close together and who stayed true to the thought that we had for stopping the war in Vietnam and for protecting our air, our water, our trees and our animals. We were so committed to those causes that the murders more or less evolved out of our desire to change the system.'' - Sandy Good

@@rosesprog1722 You believe what Sandra Good says? You must be a special kind of crazy. There was and is NO PROOF of a drug burn gone wrong that night, just speculation, or fan fiction, if you will, spread by Manson fanboys (and girls). The LAPD investigated the drug angle for months and came up empty. It wasn't until Susan Atkins' confession that they were able to break the case. Was Watson a drug dealer? Sure. But there is no evidence that he knew Sebring or Frykowski or that there was a big supply of drugs being delivered to Cielo Drive that night. Watson was strictly a small time dealer who spent the summer of '69 souping up dune buggies for Manson's war fleet. And after the murders, Watson spent nearly a month with the Family out in Death Valley helping Manson search for the elusive 'Bottomless Pit' about which he had prophesied often. Some big time drug dealer. Nope, no proof that the murders were instigated by Watson to score drugs or drug money. It was Manson, not Watson, who had the negative connection to 10050 Cielo Drive. There is, however, corroborating testimony from multiple participants in the murders that Manson planned and helped execute the group's activities on both nights of murder --- Aug. 8th & 9th.

So weird watching this. When I was 14, I was babysitting my little 7 yo brother. He and his friend found a gun in the woods behind our backyard. I called the police and actually had to testify in a murder trial. Crazy how this brought back this memory. A guy had been shot and killed at a convenient store down the street and the killer ran through our yard and discarded the gun back there. Court was not what it appears on tv. I don't know how this guy seen crime scene photos. I was led to a little room and had to sit there until I was called to the stand. Then had to leave. I was not allowed to hear any other testimony. But this was the 80s and in FL, could be different rules.

Most witnesses were not allowed to stay in court... especially Family members. In Helter Skelter they wrote about how they got rid of the problem of Family members disrupting court proceedings by calling them as witnesses.

I love how the kid in the movie looks like he's thinking "wtf?" at the cop just grabbing the gun handle. He was like "well, I guess it doesn't matter now if there were any prints on it."

@@johnm8096 yeah, I remember in the book it stating there was a perfect thumb print from one of the killers on the gate button to exit the property. One cop just walked right up and pressed it, ruining the print. With the two overlapping prints they couldn’t match.

Great interview Scott. It’s always great to hear a first person narrative of their actual (not a re-edited movie version) experience related to a reported event. You are always respectful and professional with your interviews and tapings. I really appreciated the beginning of your video where you confirmed that others were not around in the cemetery while you were taping. THAT is class. No mourners at a gravesite want to see a taping while they are attending or having private thoughts at a loved ones/friend’s/etc grave. As I’m home bound due to the COVID-19 right now, I’ll definitely continue to watch your work. Thanks again!

How cool to interview the real Steven! I remember watching the news about the murders and then later reading the book/watching the TV movie when it aired. Even though I live in Canada it scared the crap out of me!

Fascinating story, I live on the east coast, and even though this happened in Cali, I was scared to death that this had happened, poor Sharon, Jay, Abigail, Voitek, and Peter what was going through their mind when they met their fate that dreadful night.

It’s said that Sharon Tate begged for the life of her unborn baby-asking them to take her with them, and let her have the child and then kill her after it was born-all to try and save her unborn baby. I don’t know how true that is, but it’s so sad.

Given that Steve Weiss was only 9 at the time, he'll almost certainly be the last living witness/participant in the Manson case.

People in those days were much more public spirited. They helped the police in solving crime etc. I remember when I was a kid, I found a wallet in the street and I walked to the police station and handed it in. It was how I was brought up. Nowadays I can’t imagine youths doing anything like that, rather the opposite.

I grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania and in the late 70s people in our school were talking about how Manson would be eligible for parole in the year 2000 and we would only be 40 years old then and he might come after us, lol. Manson was pretty much synonymous with the devil in all of the United States after he was convicted of the crime. I’m glad he never got out of prison.

Linda Kasabian wasn't sitting with the other girls. She was brought in from another room as a witness. He's not remembering that correctly. God bless this guy though. Probably because of him that this was solved and prosecuted successfully.

I'm now hooked on your videos man. I never would have though that there was so much on the table to look at, after the books, movies, etc., but you are shining a light on entire storylines that were overlooked, perhaps because Sharon Tate was beyond beautiful and all of the A list people involved, that the Steven Parents and lesser known folks were relegated in history until now. Thanks for your investigative work and what seems to be a sincere compassion for the other victims and folks involved.
