Yes, I know Charlie’s in jail, so is “Squeaky Fromme” but I recall reading an interview with one of the members who was free and was apparently living in one of the Family’s hideouts and was “keeping the fires burning.” I can’t find the interview now, nor can I remember who it was, or where she was living. Anybody know? ---

[Google is your friend](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Manson) . > [@](#): > > Linda Kasabian was granted immunity for giving evidence against Manson and other family members. Following the trial she left California. Her present whereabouts are unknown but she is alleged to have committed other criminal offences and served time in prison.

From the same cite: > [@](#): > > Sandra Good was convicted of “issuing threatening communications through interstate commerce” in 1975 and served ten years at the Federal Correctional Institute, Terminal Island, California. She was later transferred to the Federal Correctional Institute in Pleasanton and later to a prison in Alderson. Following her release, she moved to an area close to Corcoran prison, where Manson is held, and tends his website. This seems to be the person the OP seeks. Haj ---

Somebody already got it while I was typing, but what the hell, here’s some more info: > [@Tuckerfan](#): > > Yes, I know Charlie’s in jail, so is “Squeaky Fromme” but I recall reading an interview with one of the members who was free and was apparently living in one of the Family’s hideouts and was “keeping the fires burning.” I can’t find the interview now, nor can I remember who it was, or where she was living. Anybody know? Leslie Van Houten, Susan Atkins, Charles “Tex” Watson and others are also still in jail. The direct participants in the murders have been repeatedly denied parole, many would say for good reason. The one you are thinking of is Sandra Good, I believe: [http://charliesfamily.tripod.com/sandy.html](http://charliesfamily.tripod.com/sandy.html) > [@](#): > > Good was imprisoned first in Pleasanton, California and then Alderson, West Virginia until she was released in the mid-1980’s. As a condition of her parole, she went to live in Bridport, Vermont for a short time before moving to Hanford, California to be near Corcoran State Prison, where none other than Charlie Manson is serving his life sentence. She apparently has sort of become Charlie’s amanuensis, handling his mail and maintaining a website proclaiming her ongoing devotion to him. ---

If ZZG refers to Manson’s child (by Atkins?), I vaguely recall he was raised by grandparents or some other family & is aware of his paternity but has no interest in exploring it. The last chapter of the updated edition of Bugliosi’s HELTER SKELTER discusses “where are they now?” ---

I am tempted to post 1.in your backyard 1. You Don’t WANT To Know! Unless, of course, you mean the famous ones. God, I used to be afraid of walking home from school then in my small Ohio suburb! ---

While looking for info on the remake (which was quite well done & had a different angle from the original) of HELTER SKELTER, I found an article about Manson “fans” (not necessarily true admirers but people who are fascinated by him, even while recognizing his evil) & it ended noting that there are probably older women out there trying to explain the faded X on their foreheads with a story about falling on a cookie cutter.
