The Hughes disappearance was kind of a disappointment. I'm assuming he'll eventually be found.

Mostly curious what results in Hughes' death. So disappointing a promising individual was cut down like that.

Pretty much addicted to this book. How did Katsuyama ever make it all the way to Deputy Medical Examiner?

Really shows what a mockery our legal system is, especially when they introduce Kanarek.

Thank God for Linda Kasabian! Such an interesting case that it's hard to stop reading and move on to something else LOL

Murder? Check. Rape? Check. Pedophilia? Check. Attempting to incite a "race apocalypse?" Check. Looks like there's absolutely nothing that Manson wasn't willing to do.

With the level of incompetence (Bugliosi claims he had to tell a policeman assigned solely to the Manson case his job was to gather evidence; he also details how medical examiner's testimony contradicted his autopsy notes), it's amazing it was possible for the prosecution to eventually earn their convictions.

So fascinating that I could probably read it all day.

So many people (police, Family, victims, witnesses, etc.) that it's hard to keep track of them all.

The level of incompetence at certain times in the investigation is mindboggling.
