SPEAKER_05: Hey, it's Jenny. We're currently gearing up for a brand new season of Womanica. Until then, we're bringing you our favorite episodes featuring villains, troublemakers, magic, and mystery in honor of October.
SPEAKER_06: Hello, I'm Aria Goodman, graphic designer at Wonder Media Network. And I'm so excited to be introducing this best of episode of Womanica. Today's Womanican was known for committing disturbing acts of violence. If you're listening with young children, you might want to sit this one out. This episode was originally part of our August 2019 theme, Villanesses. Today, we're talking about a woman who went on to commit some of the most infamous and most popular in U.S. history. What's so special about this episode is that we get to hear this woman's story told by the person who played her in the 2018 movie, Charlie Says. Now, here's guest host Sozi Bacon to talk about Patricia Krenwinkel, one of the original members of the Manson family. Patricia Diane Krenwinkel was born in 1947
SPEAKER_03: in Los Angeles, California. Her father was an insurance salesman and her mother was a private insurance agent. Her father was an insurance salesman and her mother was a homemaker. Patricia's teen years weren't exactly easy. She suffered through the divorce of her parents as well as relentless bullying at school for her weight and appearance. After her parents split, she stayed with her father in Los Angeles until she graduated from high school. She taught catechism and considered becoming a nun for a bit before deciding to go to Spring Hill College, a Jesuit school in Alabama. That didn't last long. She dropped out and returned to LA after just one semester. Patricia first met Charlie Manson in Manhattan Beach in 1967 while working as an office clerk.
SPEAKER_01: That night, we slept together. And when we made love, all I remember is just crying and crying to this man because he said, "'Oh, you're beautiful, I couldn't believe that. "'I just started crying.'"
SPEAKER_03: After that, Patricia left her life behind. She went with Manson along with Lynette Fromme and Mary Bronner to San Francisco, abandoning her apartment, car, and last paycheck. The growing so-called family started traveling around the country in an old school bus. Patricia, now dubbed Katie, acted as a mother figure to the rest of the group. At first, Manson and his group's exploits seemed unusual but not necessarily dangerous. They ran through the woods while Manson played the flute. They did a lot of partying and they briefly crashed with the drummer of the Beach Boys. The group eventually decided to establish a more stable base. They moved to Spahn Ranch, a deteriorating former movie ranch located in Los Angeles County. Manson had long been preaching the racist notion that tensions between Black and white people were about to erupt. Some believe this was the ideology that spurred the impending murder spree. In early 1969, the Manson family moved to a yellow house in Canoga Park to monitor those disposed tensions. In August of that year, Patricia took part in the first horrific crime the family would become known for.
SPEAKER_00: In a scene described by one investigator as reminiscent of a weird religious right, five persons-
SPEAKER_03: The murder of the pregnant actress Sharon Tate, along with her visiting friends. Patricia and some of the other Manson group members invaded the house, cutting the phone line, and climbing an embankment to sneak into the property. They killed 18-year-old Steven Parent as he was leaving and then entered the house to kill Sharon Tate and her guests, which included the coffee heiress, Abigail Folger. Patricia stabbed Abigail to death, chasing her even as she attempted to escape. During Patricia's trial, she recalled that she felt nothing during the murder, saying, I mean, what was there to describe? It was just there, and it was right. Five people were murdered that day, and Patricia participated in more killings the very next night.
SPEAKER_01: The following night, there was another bloody stabbing and two more victims, Lino and Rosemary Labianca.
SPEAKER_03: Patricia wrote, death to pigs in blood on the wall and also misspelled helter-skelter on the fridge. After a few arrests, Patricia was bailed out by her father and moved back in with her mother in Alabama. Manson told her to go to stay there until he sent word for her return. Instead, Manson was arrested a couple of days later. Patricia lived in Alabama until fellow Manson group member, Susan Atkins, who was still in jail, started talking about the Tate and Labianca murders. Patricia was arrested in Alabama on December 1st, 1969. The next day, she was indicted for seven counts of first degree murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder. After a nine month trial, Patricia was convicted of all counts and sentenced to death. In the California Institution for Women in Prison, Patricia slowly began to lose loyalty to Manson and the rest of the family. Her death sentence was commuted to life in prison as soon as the death penalty was outlawed in California, and she went on to participate in many prison activities. She got a bachelor's in human services. She was active in Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, and she taught reading to illiterate inmates. She has since been interviewed by journalists like Diane Sawyer and seems to show remorse.
