Charles Manson Confessed To More Murders in Newly Revealed Jail Call

A new Charles Manson docuseries includes a never-before-heard phone call where the infamous serial killer admits to more murders before becoming leader of the “Manson Family” cult.

The three-part Making Manson, which drops November 19 on Peacock, reveals 20 years’ worth of never-before-aired conversations in which Manson, who died of natural causes in 2017, talks about his childhood, life of crime, and his time as a commune and cult leader from the late 1960s to the early 1970s.

In a teaser clip for the series, Manson calmly says in a phone call, “There’s a whole part of my life that nobody knows about. I lived in Mexico for a while. I went to Acapulco, stole some cars.”

“I just got involved in stuff over my head, man,” he continued. “Got involved in a couple of killings. I left my .357 Magnum in Mexico City, and I left some dead people on the beach.”

Manson convinced his followers, most of whom were female, to kill at least seven people in California in the summer of 1969.

The killings included actress Sharon Tate, who was stabbed 16 times in August 1969 while pregnant with her director husband Roman Polanski. They also killed four other people at Tate’s home that night.

The next night, members of the “Manson Family” killed Los Angeles couple Leno and Rosemary LaBianca in their home.

The LaBianca murders were part of Manson’s plan to incite a race war, a concept he called “Helter Skelter.” Manson and his followers believed these killings would be blamed on Black Americans, escalating societal tensions.

On the night of their deaths, Leno and Rosemary LaBianca were randomly targeted after Manson and his followers drove through Los Angeles looking for a suitable location.

Although Manson did not directly participate in the seven murders, he was convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder because of his influence over his followers.

Mason served over 45 years in prison as the mastermind behind the murders. The leader, who had a swastika tattoo between his eyes in his later years, died of natural causes in November 2017 at the age of 83.

His former cellmate Phil Kaufman also appears in the docuseries teaser, revealing what it was like living with one of the most notorious serial killers in US history.

“Charlie was very good at being evil and not showing it,” Kaufman said. “Anything that detracted him from his game plan at that time, he would squash it, but he did it with velvet gloves.”
