Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong examines the case of Charles Manson. In 1969, Manson orchestrated the infamous Tate-LaBianca murders in Los Angeles, California – using his influence over young, vulnerable followers to commit horrific crimes on his behalf. Fueled by his outlandish beliefs and behavior, he became one of the most frightening figures in true crime. But what was really going on in the mind of Manson? Candice explores how constant rejection in Manson’s life could have led him to criminal infamy, and how he used fear and control to embolden his own twisted perception of the world and people around him.
