One of
Charlie Manson's "girls" convicted for the infamous
Tate-LaBianca murders of the summer of 1969.
"Sexy Sadie" bragged of actually
killing
Sharon Tate to her cellmates and initially testified before the grand
jury before recanting her testimony out of loyalty to Charlie!
She and all of
her co-defendents were found guily and sentenced to death in 1971. California
law abolished the death penalty in 1972. Immediately commuting all death
sentences to life imprisonment.
Where are they now?

Susan renounced her devotion to Charlie Manson and became a
born-again Christian in 1975. She has since then earned a college degree and
penned an authobiography "
Child of Satan,Child of God" in 1977. Despite her
persistently model behavior and christian character she has been denied parole
consistently and remains incarcerated at the
California Institue for Women. Her
ministry has a website "
the Dove's Nest" which features opportunities for
prison correspondence with Susan.
