Manson Exposed: A Reporter's 50-Year Journey into Madness and Murder

December 05, 2019

Our generation has lived through some major markers over the years that each of us remembers…but perhaps few are as stunningly memorable as the Tate/LaBianca murders that took place back in 1969. And December 4th, 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the day Charles Manson was arrested. The world got its first look at this strange and, many consider, truly evil man.

Our guest, Ivor Davis, is a legendary reporter and author who has covered some of the most heralded events of our lifetime. In fact, he was one of the very first reporters on the scene when Sharon Tate and her houseguests met their gruesome end. He wrote the first book about the shocking event and even got up close and personal with the Manson gang at Spahn ranch. Now he has come out with the definitive book on the shocking events. It's called Manson Exposed: A Reporter's 50-Year Journey into Madness and Murder and this one is a real page-turner!

Ivor joins us once again to share more about the Manson murders and the man who mesmerized his followers, left mayhem and murder in his wake and terrorized the city of Los Angeles for years to come.
