See Vincent Bugliosi and Curt Gentry, Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders (1974), page 139. Manson also received three disciplinary infractions for homosexual assault in the same year, forcing his transfer to a stricter reformatory in Chilicothe, Ohio. "It was a gift to us.While in minimum security detention at Natural Bridge Camp, sodomized another male inmate in 1952, with a razor blade held to the other boy's throat. "It was great for everybody to come together for the first time," said Freeman's wife, Audrey, who accompanied him to the funeral. Freeman, Brunner, Channels and Matthew Robert Lentz, who also claims to be Manson's son, all head to probate court in Los Angeles again on Friday. While the fight over Manson's remains is over, the court battle for his estate - including personal items as well as music rights - is still being fought in court. Wells said it was kept refrigerated, and that "after four months it would have the standard decomposition."įreeman is a devout Christian, and had a local pastor from Porterville lead the service.Īlso at the service was a documentary camera crew working with Freeman on a film about his father - Charles Manson Jr., who committed suicide when Jason was a boy.
Kay said that Davis, now 76, was the family member most. However, Freeman told CNN that the funeral home told him they "had a mess on our hands," and that there was "gross neglect to the corpse." Freeman said it was clear to him that his grandfather had not been properly stored.īut Stephen Wells, a spokesman for the Kern County Sheriff's department, said that Manson's body "wasn't treated any differently than any other body" being stored by the coroner's office. Davis, who recently was cleared for parole after nearly 50 years in prison, was in London at the time Pugh died. Neither showed up.ĭuring the court fight, both Freeman and a probate attorney talked about Manson's body being kept "on ice" by the Kern County Coroner. She was 53 years younger than Manson.įreeman battled two other men with Manson connections for the right to dispose of the remains - Michael Brunner, who claimed to be Manson's son and Michael Channels, a long time Manson friend and memorabilia collector. His remains were cremated after the service.Īlso attending was Afton Burton, who was briefly Manson's fiancée in 2014.
Manson's body was dressed in an orange ATWA T-shirt for the funeral. But she remained a follower and extolled Manson's environmental directive known as Air, Trees, Water, Animals (ATWA). The family "acted like ninjas" to keep the funeral in Porterville, California, from gaining attention, Freeman said.Ībout 20 people attended, he said, describing them as his grandfather's best friends from before and during Manson's 46-year incarceration.Īmong them was Sandra Good, a member of the original "Manson Family." Good was not part of the grisly two day killing spree that terrorized the nation in 1968. The burial came one week after Manson's grandson, Jason Freeman, won the right to his grandfather's body after a court battle that began shortly after Manson's death on November 19. The cremated remains of notorious cult leader Charles Manson were scattered on a California hillside following a Christian funeral on Saturday, nearly four months after his death.
