Barbara Hoyt, an American nurse and member of the “Manson Family”, was a witness in District Attorney Vincent Bugliosi’s prosecution of Charles Manson and his followers for the Tate-LaBianca murders. Born on December 27, 1951, in Seattle, Washington, she ran away from home at 17 years old after an argument with her father and was found by a group of Manson’s followers. She lived with the Manson Family at Spahn Ranch until shortly after the Tate-LaBianca murders, when she left after overhearing Susan Atkins describing the murder.
Hoyt was once a devoted follower of Charles Manson but later fled the group in terror. After overhearing Atkins giggling as she recounted killing Tate, Barbara Hoyt decided to turn on those arrested following the murders. She died of kidney failure on December 3, 2017, at age 63. The name Charles Manson quickly became a synonym for unimaginable evil, which nobody knows better than Debra Tate, Sharon’s little sister, and Barbara Hoyt, the Manson.
Hoyt was a devoted follower of Charles Manson, but made the decision to leave the group after overhearing Atkins giggling as she recounted killing Tate. She was genuinely horrified over what her friends did, but whatever happened in that time frame was enough to keep her haunted for life. She was a part of one of America’s most infamous “families” and died of natural causes on December 3, 2017.
Dianne Lake, who joined the Manson family at just 14-years-old, was given a hamburger containing a lethal dose of LSD by one of the members. A social worker found Hoyt dead in a hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii.

📹 THE TRUTH ABOUT BARBARA HOYT
ITS BEEN PROVEN IN 2022, THAT WHERE SHORTY SHEA WAS MURDERED AT THE TUNNEL, SOUND DOES CARRY …
They served (or are still serving) their life sentence, and it is JUSTICE. Who cares about “good behaviour” while in prision? They commited heinous crimes and had to pay for them in a humane prison system. No way they should be released on parole. They repented? Good. When they meet their Creator after death, HE can evaluate their repentance. Not us.
ALL of the Manson followers/criminals should NEVER be paroled or released from prison! The followers who murdered people should get the death penalty now that it’s been reinstated. The followers who did not murder because a sudden sense of decency overcame them, then turned & testified against Manson & the criminal followers who either committed the crimes or was a part of harming the victims, those followers that cooperated with the State are the bravest people there are! Especially since other “family” members tried to harm them for testifying. God Bless those former followers who were brave & continues to do the right thing
I will NEVER understand how anyone who is directly involved in murdering any number of people, can be up for parole. These monsters should have been executed soon after being convicted. Once the death penalty was abolished, their life sentences should mean exactly what it says, “for the rest of your natural life”!
Those family members that actively committed the crimes were individuals who were already criminally oriented or had major personality, character and morality issues. Manson cultivated, exploited and manipulated their flaws to his own ends. Iago from the play Othello really describes Manson. There was no hypnotism or brainwashing but rather Manson providing the negative motivation to enable them to maximize their potential for evil and condemn themselves.
I met Bobby Beausoleil hitch-hiking back in the day before his killing spree. Wasn’t interested in his commune he had tried to get me into, but he left me with his phone number and name. He had a hawk on his shoulder. I went to a party in a huge house in Los Angeles Harold True was renting. It was next door to what would eventually be the house where the laBiancas were killed. True was a friend of the music producer of the Beach Boys and had initially befriended Manson until he became too annoying to deal with. The night of the laBianca killing, Harold True no longer lived in the house which was more like a mansion, and there’s always been speculation online as to whether Manson’s initial victim was Harold True and switched to next door when he was found to be no longer living there. You would believe the Manson crimes junkies endlessly debating the Manson family online to this day! Harold True later testified at Manson’s trial. My fiance and I made our way through the thick haze of pot smoke and finally parked out butts in a tiny claustrophobic room where a scraggly-haired man was playing guitar and singing badly. There were a group of spooky-eyed zombified girls hanging off him like parisitical vines and finally it got to me. I whispered to my fiance:. “They’re giving me bad vibes. let’s get outta here”. Which we did. I didn’t realize until some years later that was Charles Manson and his followers. We were there in, I think it was 1968. That movie “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” nailed the Manson look.
Tex was the only one with a gun. The girls had knives. Tex shot Steven Parent in the chest and abdominal areas 4 times at close range. He killed Parent all by himself. He also killed Jay Sebring all by himself. 2 gunshots and Jay was still alive. Tex finished him off with 2 stab wounds to the chest. He also shot Frikowski twice and he pistol whipped him and stabbed him. Tex personally participated in 8 murders – 5 at the Tate house, 2 at the LaBianca house, and Shorty Shea. Gary Hinman was the only one that Tex didn’t participate in.
After everything they had done, these self indulgent narcissists all wanted parole, even after they were lucky enough to escape the death penalty. If they had really converted to christianity and were really remorseful, they would have accepted that they should stay in prison and spared the Tate family the anguish of having to testify at their parole hearings. I don’t believe in their ‘remorse’ at all.
I hate the “artists” who continue to perpetuate the myth that there was anything interesting or culturally significant about these people. Marilyn Manson, Kasabian, Junior Manson Slags – all musically inadequate, but, ooh, so shocking. They’re almost as pathetic as the “family” itself. With talent, there’s no need for shock tactics. Screw ’em all.
Alot of this article is wrong! My late mother was a Gold Shield Detective working with a Narcotics and Juvenile and was involved with the whole investigation! And she ( my mother, was the 1st female police officer in the United States to make Gold Shield Detective) she was at the Sharon Tate murder scene! And what she witnessed never left her mind nor did it leave her partners mind! My mother once said that every one of them should have gotten the Death Penalty for the murders they were involved with!
I have to get my name and comment on this upload. Because, I can’t see any comments by myself. I’m sitting in my room at my dad’s. I’m using candles.🕯 The electric in this room was cut by my cousin in a fit of rage, after my dad argued then tried to fight him. ✂⚡ Anyway, it’s a really GREAT upload. GREAT like a tiger. 🐅 I wish that it was still summer. I really miss the sun. 🌞 I miss it’s warmth. 🔥
The music is distracting. It would have been better with just narration. People should stop treating documentaries like Hollywood films and ditch the emotionally manipulative music. Let the words and images speak for themselves. The audience doesn’t need to be “told” how to feel about it with musical cues. I’ve seen this get worse with the rise of amateur Youtube documentaries.
Satanists, who hated God and religion and naively chose to pursue a path of greed, selfishness, violence, destruction and ultimately death. Now some are, or will eventually, serve eternity in Hell…literally! Shame they didn’t wisely turn to Christianity much earlier in their life, rather than waiting until they had participated in serious crime. Murder is the only crime that cannot be forgiven in this life or the next. The consequences of our choices here on earth, will determine where our eternal destiny will be.
Charle’s throwing a tanty because he was betrayed out of the music business. He was still right though, when he said, ” they did what they wanted to do”. Manson may have owned a leadership quality but I don’t think he was the kind who could get into their heads and control their thoughts. If he done that, then they all would have been innocent.
it makes me sick that tex has 4 kids he took the life of an unborn child but he gets to have 4 of his own all because he is a born again Christian what is it with this born again business nearly all killers do it i am sure its a way to get out of prison they all deserve the death penalty for what they did
I met Paul in the ’77-’78 when we both worked for ‘American Borate’ mining ‘Colmanite’ in Death Valley __________ I recognized him because of his very short height, about 5′-2″ and his face registered somehow, and I asked him about Manson and he said “I knew him because he picked me up when I was 12 and living on the streets and he taught me how to hustle money from grocery stores by crying for housewives that I ‘lost my grocery money’ when they asked “What’s wrong?” and Charlie tried to get me to ‘get dates’ with ‘chicken hawks’ but I wouldn’t do it We went to Death Valley to live at an old abandoned ranch because Manson thought “The cops are after me and we need to lay low out here” and he would send girls to Las Vegas to ‘turn tricks’ for money…Charlie liked me because I was the only guy around shorter than him…but by the time I was 15 or so I took-off because Manson began raving over anything/everything but that was long before all that shit in LA went down…I never saw him or anyone else with him after I left” ___________ Watkins was definitely a ‘Loner’ type person, still living in the Death Valley area and for all I know still there someplace and I’ve been to the abandoned ‘Bunk House’ ranch just to see it and I would guess it’s still there, not far from ‘Lathrop Wells’ which is a tiny gas-station/restaurant where I lived for a time in a little travel-trailer out in back, but I have no idea what’s there now after 40+ years I really had only a short talk w/Paul and we were not ‘work buddies’ or anything like that and only saw him sometimes at the ‘Sigma’ or ‘White Monster’ mines when shifts coincided
Manson is gone but I fear he is still on everyone’s mind. He didn’t actually participate in the crimes but paid the price as if he had… I’m not supporting him but without actually doing anything I think he brought on everything that happened to himself I believe it was his thought process that kept him in jail… he looked the part of a madman….
