Here's the original Charlie's Angels. Except they didn't solve crimes. These women were part of the Manson Family - which was run by legendary psychopath, Charles Manson. A lifelong criminal, Manson started his started his hippie cult in San Francisco in 1967 - then later moved The Family to an old abandoned movie ranch in the California desert.
A crazy fact, many of his women followers were from wealthy families. It was the 60s, and what better way to rebel against your parents than to join a hippie cult run by a psychopath - who is looked at him like the human manifestation of Jesus?
Though the Manson Family partook in massive amounts of psychedelics and group orgies - they were also responsible for the brutal murders of actress Sharon Tate and four others on August 9, 1969. It was said that the murders were orchestrated by Manson because of the rejection he got from the music industry for not launching his musical career.
Footnote: At one point Manson befriended Beach Boy drummer Dennis Wilson - who invited him and his followers into his home. Wilson was so freaked out by Manson and didn't know how to kick him out, that he just ended up leaving his home to Manson, hoping he would eventually go away.
