Tate murders
Since 1969
The Tate–LaBianca murders were a series of murders perpetrated by members of the Manson Family cult during August 9–10, 1969, in Los Angeles, California, under the direction of Tex Watson and Charles Manson. The perpetrators killed five people (not including the unborn child of an 8½ month pregnant Sharon Tate) on the night of August 8–9: Tate and her companions Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, Wojciech Frykowski and Steven Parent. The following evening, the Family murdered the supermarket executive Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary, at their home in Los Feliz, Los Angeles.
Why it's on the map
Watson instead lunged at Parent with a knife, giving him a defensive slash wound on the palm of his hand that severed tendons and tore his watch off his wrist, then shot him four times in the chest and abdomen, killing him in the front seat of his white 1965 AMC Rambler.
Following the 2009 death of fellow Manson gang member Susan Atkins, Krenwinkel is now the longest-incarcerated female inmate in the California penal system.
