Lucifer in the Sky with Diamonds, Pt. II

Hypothesis #6—Manson ordered the deaths of Hinman, the LaBiancas and Sebring et al  out of

revenge.

r!ument for" Manson #isited $aro%d &rue, the ne't(door nei!h)or of the La*iancas numerous times.ccordin! to some sources, +har%ie had a cou%e of run(ins with Leno La*ianca whi%e #isitin!, and thuswanted to ki%% him and his wife.

Meanwhi%e, the sadistic )rand of Satanism in#o%#in! Jay Se)rin! and imortant $o%%ywood friends raisedManson-s ire when it crossed the ath of Susan tkins, a fi%med #ictim of Se)rin!-s #iciousness and raesfor the de%i!ht of &ate and Po%anski-s or!y crowd. Detai%ed statements that aear in d Sanders-  The

 Family i%%ustrate a tendency for the Po%anskis to wa%k on the wi%d %eft(hand side. /umors a)ound that fi%mof these Satanic or!ies e'isted, and that they inc%ude ust a)out anythin! from chi%d articiation to a urorted%y sa%acious )iracia%, )ise'ua% 1)i two, !et one free threesome starrin! &ate herse%f.

ccordin! to Manson, tkins had re#ious se'ua% encounters with Se)rin! that inc%uded ser#icin! acou%e of his ma%e aramours. $a% Lisett and unnamed sources within the Los n!e%es Po%iceDeartment confirmed the e'istence of a num)er of #ideotaes deictin! the action, amon! them arecorded tryst )etween tkins and 3oiciech 4rykowski and a four(way featurin! +ass %%iot, 3arren*eatty, 5u% *renner and Peter Se%%ers. &he %atter three osted a 27,000 reward in order to suress thesetaes.

r!ument !ainst" 8nce a!ain, we ha#e rumors masueradin! as e#idence. 3hi%e it-s certain%y %ausi)%ethat Manson mi!ht ha#e had a hosti%e encounter with Leno La*ianca, no one has e#er !one :on therecord; to state this as fact, much %ess !i#en any e'%anation as to the nature of the disute.

3hi%e Lisett a%%owed writer<researcher Pau% =rassner to cite him as a source for the a%%e!ed taes ofthese satanic or!ies, the taes themse%#es ne#er surfaced. In this day and a!e of the Internet, one has towonder how someone cou%d ha#e ket such a ti!ht %id on these. 4urthermore, the eyewitness account ofSe)rin! and &ate-s a%%e!ed da%%iances with satanic se' !i#en )y Sanders comes from a second(handsource. Like a !ame of te%ehone, the ori!ina% source mi!ht ha#e said somethin! uite different, with theaccount chan!in! in transition from one seaker to the other. &hus, it-s unre%ia)%e.

Most imortant, direct eyewitness accounts contradict this suosition. In a recent Dateline inter#iew,Sharon-s sister De)ra, the on%y sur#i#in! fami%y mem)er, #ehement%y denied the a%%e!ations a!ainstSe)rin!, &ate and Po%anski on the )asis that she had sent se#era% weeks with her famous sister in the fa%%of >969 and witnessed no satanic acti#ity whatsoe#er"

&he rumors were a)so%ute%y un)eara)%e, for my arents esecia%%y. *ecause I was in the inner circ%e withSharon and her friends, I knew that the rumors of witchcraft and de#i%(worshi and a%% of that werea)so%ute%y unfounded. *ut the rumors were hittin! mom and dad fu%% force. I, at %east, had a )asis to utthem to rest in my own mind.

It made me #ery an!ry. Don-t !et me wron!. &he sin that the ress and $o%%ywood itse%f ut one#erythin! was a)so%ute%y horrific. &hat in itse%f was a crime. It was a)so%ute%y unmercifu% what it wasdoin! to my fami%y, which a%so inc%uded /oman. It was )ruta%. I watched a #ery stron! man )reak downcom%ete%y....

It was a three(rin! circus )ein! %ed )y the media? )ein! fue%ed )y eo%e in $o%%ywood that didn-t wanttheir dirty %itt%e secrets to%d. &hey didn-t want to )e in#esti!ated, or stand too c%ose to the fire, so toseak....

Figure ! "ebra ate on Dateline  $%ouube vid&

3hat @. De%% rea%%y thinks of this hyothesis" &o start with, there are %o!ica% !as in this account as ane'%anation of moti#e. fter the arrest of *o))y *eauso%ei% for the murder of Aary $inman, aro%eeManson had e#ery reason to kee a %ow rofi%e. &he su)t%ety of his actions on the ni!hts of the &ate(La*ianca murdersBte%%in! tkins, =renwinke% and =asa)ian to fo%%ow 3atson-s orders instead of te%%in!them they wou%d )e !oin! out on a murder sreeBdemonstrates his desire to stay under the radar of %awenforcement. If 3atson had a ki%%in! ones, Manson didn-t care to sto him, so %on! as +har%ie himse%fdidn-t ha#e to take the ra.

3ith that said, it wou%d ha#e made far more sense to )reak into the Po%anski home, stea% the #ideotaes,and se%% them on the )%ack marketBeither that, or )%ackmai% the $o%%ywood stars in#o%#ed with themBifre#en!e were tru%y the moti#e. 4irst of a%%, this wou%d ha#e )een si!nificant re#en!e. More imortant, it

wou%d ha#e ro#ided e#en more cash to the !rowin! s%iie crime )usiness. &hird, they cou%d ha#e hadha%f of $o%%ywood ho%din! its co%%ecti#e )reath. Most critica%, )%ackmai% cou%d ha#e ket the #ictims fromreortin! the crime, thus ensurin! a %ow rofi%e.

nd e#en if they decided to ki%% &ate et a% anyway, wou%dn-t it make sense to scour the house to %ook forthe taes, since they aarent%y knew they e'isted 1after a%%, accordin! to this hyothesis, tkins starredin oneC &hey had no ro)%em at a%% ransackin! $inman-s %ace in an attemt to find money. nd a re!nant woman %eadin! for her %ife wou%d ha#e most %ike%y !i#en anythin! for a chance to sare herfetus.

&his articu%ar hyothesis fa%%s aart retty uick%y as a moti#e. 5et, some e%ements are more %ausi)%e

than they first seem. Desite De)ra &ate-s understanda)%e ra!e and dis)e%ief, I ha#e to say, with a%% dueresect, that si)%in!s can kee secrets from each other uite easi%y, esecia%%y if one si)%in! is undera!e1as De)ra was in u!ust >969 and on%y at her sister or )rother-s %ace for a temorary #isit. nyone can )e on their )est )eha#ior for three weeks. nd a re!nant woman who tired easi%y mi!ht not fee% %ikewhooin! it u in some kind of wi%d or!y.

Ai#en the nature of /oman Po%anski-s work at this timeBe.!. The Fearless Vampire Killers,  Rosemary’s Baby, or e#en his suernatura% interretation of Shakeseare-s Macbeth Bit seems rather ossi)%e that therenown director mi!ht ha#e acuainted himse%f with the )%ack arts to some de!ree, if on%y for research. Ifso, it-s not much of a stretch that his wife wou%d accomany him in this ursuit, esecia%%y since shestarred in one of these f%icks. &hen too, one has to remem)er that in the >960s, eo%e e'erimented with

a%% sorts of stuff. mon! other thin!s, !ood eo%e da))%ed in Satanism for reasons not difficu%t tounderstand. So I wou%dn-t necessari%y see &ate and Po%anski in a )ad %i!ht had they %ooked into this faithto any de!ree. $owe#er, I can understand why sur#i#in! fami%y mem)ers wou%d fee% offendedconsiderin! the ro%e Satan %ays in contemorary +hristian thou!ht.

De)ra &ate a%so mentioned the :dirty %itt%e secrets; of $o%%ywood in her Dateline inter#iew. &his cou%d ossi)%y descri)e the urorted incenti#e of *renner, *eatty and Se%%ers in offerin! the reward money.Perhas a%% three rea%ied that the home mo#ies were irre%e#ant to the o%ice in#esti!ation, )ut cou%d sti%%cause them em)arrassment. 3hi%e the taes ha#e ne#er surfaced, I cannot dismiss the ossi)i%ity that

these e'isted. Many c%aimed to ha#e witnessed them. Prosecutor Eincent *u!%iosi stiu%ated that o%icefound one 1and on%y one. nd %%iot, the rumored stars of one f%ick, ne#er steered =rassner away fromthe assumtion that the taes f%oated around somewhere in the under!round.

8f course, the taes wou%d ro#e their own e'istence. nd you rea%%y ha#e to uestion how there cou%d )ea)so%ute%y no foota!e that-s surface for a%% this time, !i#en the nature of te%ecommunications nowadays.

/e!ard%ess of whether or not the taes e'isted, they-re sti%% #ery tan!entia%%y connected to moti#e, andu%timate%y %ead down a dead end, for the most art. &he on%y way they cou%d ha#e some )earin! onmoti#e is if 1a we fina%%y do see them, and 1) if we catch tkins, or =renwinke%, or any)ody e%se withinthe Manson circ%e articiatin! in them. Fnti% then, I wou%d ha#e to #iew this hyothesis as s%i!ht%yinterestin!, )ut not in the %east con#incin!.
