Police have secured hidden tape recordings that may reveal the notorious Manson Family was responsible for a series of unsolved murders.
Led by Charles Manson, the twisted hippy cult infamously murdered Sharon Tate, the pregnant actress wife of film director Roman Polanski, along with six others during a two-week killing spree in 1969.
However, law enforcement has long believed that the blood-soaked attacks in Hollywood Hills were just one part of their horrific actions in 1960s California.
Currently, detectives from Los Angeles plan to travel to Dallas, Texas, to retrieve eight hours of confidential conversations taking place between Manson’s right-hand man, Charles “Tex” Watson, and his former attorney. These recordings have been kept under wraps since 1971 due to attorney-client privilege.
Nevertheless, a judge has ruled that the tapes must be surrendered to law enforcement within 14 days.
Andrew Smith from the LA Police Department stated to The Sun: “The Manson case is a dreadful chapter in American history.
“It is our duty to the victims and their families to uncover the truth. We would be extremely pleased if the tapes contain any evidence to assist in solving cold cases, regardless of how much time has passed.”
The murderous group was apprehended at a secluded ranch in California’s Death Valley.
Manson, now 77, is serving a life sentence, while Watson, aged 66, received a life sentence as well after being arrested in 1970 for multiple murders carried out at Manson’s direction.
