 Manson with Star and Grey Wolf...Manson supporters

 

Marlin Marynick of Regina has written a book about notorious criminal Charles Manson. The spider dangling by the book was made out of thread by Manson in jail and given to Marynick as a gift.

  

Serial killer Charles Manson is planning to marry his 25-year-old girlfriend behind bars, Rolling Stone reports. Manson famously is spending the rest of his twilight years at California’s Corcoran State Prison for a sensational series of cult murders he orchestrated in 1969. In an orgy of bloodlust, Manson and his minions slaughtered actress Sharon Tate, her unborn baby, her guests and a number of other victims.
After 44 years in prison, Manson is marrying his girlfriend who goes by the name of Star and looks eerily like one of his former disciples, Susan Atkins — who died in prison in 2004 —  according to Rolling Stone.

“Star!” Manson said. “She’s not a woman. She’s a star in the Milky Way.” Raised a Baptist, Star grew up in a town on the Mississippi River. She told Rolling Stone it was the psychopathic killer’s devotion to environmental causes that won her over and she moved to Corcoran, Calif. in 2007 to be near her husband-to-be.
“Yeah, well, people can think I’m crazy. But they don’t know. This is what’s right for me. This is what I was born for,” she told the magazine. “I’ll tell you straight up, Charlie and I are going to get married.”
“When that will be, we don’t know. But I take it very seriously. Charlie is my husband.”

 She grew up near St. Louis, where her deeply religious family feared she'd lost her way ("I was smoking marijuana, eating mushrooms, not wanted to go to church every Sunday," she explains), so they locked her in her room for much of her high school years. A friend passed her some of Manson's environmental writing, and she started corresponding with him. When she was 19, she took the $2,000 she'd saved up working in a retirement home kitchen and hopped a train to Corcoran. Manson named her Star.

Star's resemblance to Manson Family member Susan Atkins is beyond striking, and Star seeks to distinguish herself from the woman known as Sexy Sadie, who was incarcerated for her role in the Tate-La Bianca killings until her death in 2009. "That bitch was fucking crazy," she tells RS. "She was a crazy fucking whore. "Oh Charlie, I did this for you." She didn't know what she was doing."

And Star says Manson is more devoted to her than any other girl: " He is going to marry me."
Star says there won't be any conjugal visits because "California lifers no longer get them." If they were an option, "we'd be married by now."
Manson, however, seems less convinced the impending nuptials are a reality, "Oh that," he says. "That's a bunch of garbage. You know that, man. That's trash. We're just playing that for public consumption."

Star, however doesn't seem to be aware that it's a scam. She is allowed a peck on the cheek and a hug at the beginning and end of each visit with the notorious killer. In solidarity with her imprisoned paramour, Star has also carved a cross into her forehead.

Former Los Angeles District Attorney Vincent Bugliosi — the man who almost sent Manson and his Family to the gas chamber before California killed the death penalty — and who wrote the seminal book on the case, Helter Skelter, said Manson’s attraction remains bizarrely strong.
“There are thousands of evil, polished con men out there, and we’ve had more brutal murders than the Manson murders, so why are we still talking about Charles Manson?” Bugliosi told Rolling Stone. “He had a quality about him that one thousandth of one per cent of people have. An aura. ‘Vibes,’ the kids called it in the Sixties. Wherever he went, kids gravitated toward him. This is not normal. I mean, I couldn’t get someone to go to the local Dairy Queen and get me a milkshake, OK? But this guy, I don’t know what it is. How the hell do I know?”
