Hunting Charles Manson: The Quest for Justice in the Days of Helter Skelter

In the late summer of 1969, the nation was transfixed by a series of gruesome murders in the hills of Los Angeles.

Newspapers and television programs detailed the brutal slayings of a beautiful actress — twenty six years old and eight months pregnant with her first child — as well as a hair stylist, an heiress, a businessman and other victims. The City of Angels was plunged into a nightmare of fear and dread. In the weeks and months that followed, law enforcement faced intense pressure to solve crimes that seemed to have no connection. Join former federal prosecutor and Fox News legal analyst, Lis Wiehl, as she discusses the manhunt and eventual capture of Manson and his “family” as well as how the social and political context that gave rise to Manson is eerily similar to our own.

A book signing follows the event.
