More Manson Family Victims?
Bone-white stretches of salt, leached up from the lifeless soil, lay like a shroud over the high desert where a paranoid Charles Manson holed up after an orgy of murder nearly four decades ago. Now, as then, few venture into this alkaline wilderness gold-diggers, outlaws, loners content to live and let live.
But a determined group of outsiders recently made the trek. They were leading forensic investigators searching for new evidence of death clues pointing to possible decades-old clandestine graves.
And the results of just-completed follow-up tests suggest bodies could indeed be lying beneath the parched ground. The test findings described in detail to The Associated Press, which had accompanied the site search conclude there are two likely clandestine grave sites at Barker Ranch, and one additional site that merits further investigation.
