I've been busy with other projects, so this week's story is an encore presentation.

We're approaching the 54th anniversary of the Charles Manson murders. Next week's Notorious Bakersfield episode will be about Bakersfield's connection to those horrific crimes...and I'm not talking about Charles Manson dying here in Bakersfield in 2017.

Remember to tune in next week to find out the connection two of Charles Manson's victims had to Bakersfield and Kern County.

Until then, enjoy this encore presentation.
