Charles Manson, the mastermind behind one of Hollywood’s most gruesome slayings, allegedly confessed to additional murders BEFORE becoming the leader of the Manson Family cult.
The shocking confession is part of audio that will be included in a new docuseries on airing Peacock on Nov. 19
Manson’s confessions were featured in a teaser clip of the new series, “Making Manson,” in which Manson could be heard talking from a prison phone about his time south of the U.S. border.
“There’s a whole part of my life that nobody knows about,” Manson is heard saying in the clip. ‘I lived in Mexico for a while. I went to Acapulco, stole some cars.
“I just got involved in some stuff over my head, man,” he continued. “Got involved in a couple of killings. I left my .357 Magnum in Mexico City, and I left some dead people on the beach.”
In 1971, Manson was convicted of nine murders, including the 1969 slaughter of actress Sharon Tate, who was pregnant at the time.
While Manson did not carry out the murders himself, he was the mastermind who persuaded others to kill for him.
Members of the Manson Family, as his followers were called, killed five of its victims on Aug. 9, 1969: Tate, coffee heiress Abigail Folger, celebrity hairdresser Jay Sebring, Polish movie director Voityck Frykowski and Steven Parent, a friend of the property’s caretakers.
The murders took place at Tate’s home while her husband, director Roman Polanski, was out of the country at the time.
Manson died of natural causes at a California hospital while serving a life sentence, on Nov. 19, 2017. He was 83.
