What is it that keeps people so intrigued with the Manson Murders? Rick Ross, executive director of the Cult Education Institute, explains.
It’s been 50 years since the Summer of Love was marred by murder, when three devoted members of Charles Manson’s cult, the Manson Family, went on a two-night killing spree in residential Los Angeles, leaving seven victims in their wake, and sending shock waves across the country.
In this 1969 file photo, Charles Manson is escorted to his arraignment on conspiracy-murder charges in connection with the Sharon Tate murder case. So, what is it that keeps people so intrigued, and how can we explain what drove these followers to kill? Yahoo Lifestyle spoke with Rick Ross, executive director of the Cult Education Institute and author of about the power of Manson and other cult leaders on the anniversary of the brutal murders.
“I don’t think that the Manson Family…fit within the context of the ’60s and the counterculture movement,” Ross adds. “That was just what he used as a device to recruit people. And you see that with many cult leaders: They grab something that’s in popular culture, and then it’s the bait-and-switch, and you don’t get what you think you’re going to get when you go behind the door.”
