Almost seven years after his death, the guru and criminal Charles Manson has not finished revealing all his secrets. An audio recording from a telephone call he made from prison was broadcast in an introductory clip of Making MansonPeacock’s latest documentary series. He can be heard admitting to his involvement in other murders before the creation of the Manson Family in 1967, reports The Guardian.
“A very dangerous man”
“There is a whole part of the Manson family history that is not yet known. There is a whole part of my life that no one knows,” explains the killer during the exchange. As a reminder, Charles Manson was the leader of the Manson Family cult. With its apocalyptic view of the world, it pushed several of its members to commit at least seven murders, including that of actress Sharon Tate, the pregnant wife of director Roman Polanski in the late 1960s.

Charles Manson and his followers were arrested in 1969, then tried the following year. Convicted of first degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder, the American spent more than 40 years in a prison in Corcoran (California). According to the Los Angeles Timesthere are said to have been hundreds of violations of the regulations, increasing the number of attacks and threats towards staff. “I am a very dangerous man,” he continued to declare in 2012, during a parole hearing.
Murders in Mexico?
In light of this new recording, it appears that Charles Manson would have committed other murders, before creating the Manson Family. “I lived in Mexico for a while. I went to Acapulco, I stole cars. I’ve been involved in things that were bigger than me, man. I’ve been involved in a few murders,” he said in the broadcast phone call, talking about people being killed on a beach with a 357 Magnum in Mexico City.
By his statements, his modus operandi or even the swastika he had engraved on his forehead, Charles Manson is still considered a fascinating character for some. According to Peacock, the three-part documentary series Making Manson attempts to unravel the mystery of this enigmatic figure using more than twenty years of unpublished conversations during which the criminal spoke of his education, his sect or his crimes. The first episode is scheduled to air on November 19.
