A 50 Year Journey Into Madness and Murder
My special guest tonight is foreign correspondent and investigative journalist Ivor Davis, here to share his firsthand account of covering the most infamous murder spree of the 20th century—the crimes of Charles Manson and his murderous followers. In his book Manson Exposed: A Reporter’s Fifty-Year Journey into Madness and Murder, Davis delivers an eyewitness “I was there” perspective on a case that gripped, horrified, and forever scarred America.
From exclusive interviews and never-before-revealed details to new insights that challenge the myth that “The Beatles made them do it,” Davis takes us deep inside the Manson Family murders, the lives of the victims, and the long shadow the killings cast over Hollywood. Along the way, he exposes the collateral damage—the rock stars, Oscar-winning directors, and entertainment icons whose lives were forever altered by Manson’s madness.

Spahn let Charles Manson and his gang run riot and take over the ranch, do what they wanted in exchange for food, services, and presumably running the rent-a-horse business from the ranch.

But the long-winded answer to your question, K-Town, is it was no longer being used to make movies. Did he kill anybody else out there on that ranch?
