  The Manson Family murders at 10050 Cielo Drive continue to fascinate and horrify, decades after the gruesome events took place. Tonight, we're diving deep into the testimony of William Garretson, a key witness whose account has been plagued by inconsistencies and lingering suspicions. I did a live stream where I read out his trial testimony.  Click Here to see it. The resulting discussion took us on quite a journey. Garretson was employed as a houseboy by Rudi Altobelli, the owner of the property. His duties involved caring for Altobelli's dogs while he was away in Europe and maintaining the guest house. On the fateful night of August 9th, 1969, Stephen Parent visited Garretson at midnight, apparently to sell him a clock radio. Parent's departure from the Guest House would be his last, as he was the first victim of the Manson Family that night.

Unmasking the Official Story We started by reviewing the “official” version: climb over the fence, cut phone wires, a break-in, a quick in-and-out murders, with two victims dying in the living room, and two outside on the lawn. But when you really look at the blood evidence – A large pool of Jay Sebring’s blood is on the porch.

It suggests that Sharon and Jay were actually outside for a significant period, not just dying inside the living room as claimed. This discrepancy wasn’t a small oversight—it pointed to deliberate manipulation of the crime scene. The ...

The Manson Family murders remain shrouded in mystery, even decades later. While the names of Sharon Tate, Jay Sebring, and the others are well-known, the story of Stephen Parent, the first victim on that fateful night, often feels incomplete. I did a livestream reacting to a video Tom O’Neill, the author of Chaos, made. In it, he showed a series of documents and interviews that revealed many new revelations about Stephen Parent’s life. The resulting discussion took us on a deep dive into Parent's background and brought some disturbing questions to the forefront. Tom's video is linked at the bottom, and I've also included the slides from my original live stream. The official narrative paints Parent as a mere bystander, an unsuspecting 18- year-old selling a clock radio to William Garretson, the caretaker of the Cielo Drive property. But is that the whole story? Several details surrounding Parent's death have always felt off. Why was he selling a clock radio so late at...
