Investigation Discovery has a new true crime documentary series with Dr. Katherine Ramsland, forensic psychologist. Interesting series based on facts and anyone interested may like the show.
Todays show had a murder which occurred in Chatsworth CA in the 90's at the so called "Manson Tunnel".
Unfortunately for me, Time Warner doesn't offer this unless I want to pay for it, like HBO. I can watch the Crime and Investigation channel which is a part of my programming though. I love the show Watching the Detectives. It stories from the NYPD. It's so interesting.
i know about that manson tunnel case. its unfortunate that they are couching it in "occult" terms because there was nothing occult about it.
i hope they don't approach it from a satanic panic point of view. the whole idea that people had back in the 80s that something like 40,000 children were being kidnapped and used in rituals was of course wrong. the FBI pretty much came out and said nothing like this was happening- at least not on an organized level, and certainly not in those numbers! it would be interesting if they examined that in the series- like the whole McMartin case and that.
Thanks for posting. The Satanic issue came from, IIRC, author Maury Terry who investigated Son of Sam an the Process Church.
I agree with your post.
The Manson Tunnel case was just an unrelated case, but the victim WAS recruited on UCLA campus by a group who called themselves "Mystic Circle". It was a sad random case though it seems.
By all accounts, Ronald Steven Baker, a 21-year-old astrophysics major at UCLA, was a deeply serious young man who was searching for spiritual fulfillment. Baker, who grew up in Woodland Hills, was involved with the Methodist Church and the student ministry on the UCLA campus. He also liked to go to the lawns of Chatsworth Park to meditate.
Chatsworth is interesting bcs of prior cases, Manson etc. Yes, I hope they do a show on Mc Martin case as well. The public is rarely told the true facts in many high profile cases, it seems . (same as "Helter Skelter" , imo).
