When he met these young women he would tell them everything they thought they weren’t. He called them beautiful and told them that nothing was their fault their parents were just irrational. Mixed with the mind manipulation and drugs he ultimately got them to kill for him. Manson thought of himself as god and the devil. He thought of himself so highly once he said, “ I’m Jesus Christ whether you want to accept it or not.” The cults ratio of women to men was 4:1 because Manson said women were only for mens needs. Every person that entered his following got the ego sucked out of them and Charlie took that and kept it for himself. When he first got convicted of these murders he used the fact he never touched any of the victims and never attempted to. He uses these young women that need a figure in their life and turns them into a killing

On November twelfth, 1934, Kathleen Maddox brought Manson into the world in Cincinnati, Ohio. Kathleen was only a sixteen-year-old runaway at the time she met Manson’s father, a married man known as “Colonel Scott”. She eventually met and married William Manson, who gave Charles his surname.

Introduction Richard Benjamin Speck is a well-known mass murderer who was notorious for killing eight student nurses in 1966. He went through a rough childhood that inevitably would plant the seeds for who he was going to become. I believe that his behavior occurs because he is a narcissist.
