questions


1) who is Emma Karn based off of? She sounds like a cross between either Vanhouten, kasabian, hoyt or one of the girls not mentioned in the movie

2) was it charlie that knocked emma up? Or was it one of the other guys (Watson or Beausoleil)?

3) why no bruce davis mention? Wasn't he supposedly at the hinman crime scene?

4) speaking hypothetically - would the crime be virtually unknown outside the LA Area if Sharon Tate hadn't been in that house (and she wasn't an intended target)

Emma isn't based on anyone specific. Linda Kasabian went on the night of the Tate murders but didn't kill anyone. However, her father wasn't involved with Manson. Ken and Emma are pure fiction. Ruth Ann Morehouse's (Ouisch) father, Dean Morehouse, was somewhat involved.

Hard to say who fathered the various children born back then. Charlie had a son with Mary and Bobby's girlfriend was Kitty Lutesinger.

Yes, many major family members aren't getting any tv time. No Bruce or Clem (who is the only Manson murderer to go free). It was Paul Watkins who recruited the teen girls for Charlie.

Charlie went to Cielo Drive looking for Terry Melcher and was told to leave (since Terry had moved out). He came face to face with Sharon Tate, and later told family members that there are movie stars living up there now. Based on that, I think Sharon was indeed the target. Charlie also found out Dennis Wilson had moved to Malibu. He left him a bullet at that residence as a warning. I think we would all still know this crazy story considering how shocking it is.
