In the summer of 1969, Charles Manson believed the world was about to descend into an apocalyptic race war he called “Helter Skelter.” But when his prophecy failed to materialize, Manson decided to start it himself… by convincing his followers in the Manson Family cult to commit some of the most horrific murders in true crime history.

Loyalty is a powerful thing. The willingness to stick by someone's side through thick and thin creates a deep sense of trust. You know someone will be there for you, no matter what comes your way. It's an unbreakable bond. And in the case of Charles Manson, he used that bond to deadly effect. Charles' followers were so loyal, they obeyed his every order without question.
They left their families, took all kinds of drugs, had sex with whoever he said, and of course, committed murder. But that wasn't all Charles asked of them. In the end, he wanted them to take the blame for what he asked them to do, even if it meant losing their own lives. The human mind is fascinating. It controls how we think, how we feel, how we love, and how we hate.
And sometimes the mind drives us to do something truly unspeakable. This is Killer Minds, formerly known as Mind of a Serial Killer, a Crime House original. Every Monday and Thursday, we'll be taking deep dives into the minds of history's most notorious serial killers and murderers. The show is still the same, the name just changed.
