Express Note that when Manson realized that Melcher does not really support his musical aspirations, he wanted him to die. The producer had already lived in the 10050 Cielo Drive in Los Angeles. If this address seems familiar, it is because it ended up being the actor's houseSharon Tate and directorRoman Polanski, where Tate and several others were killed by members of the Manson family in August 1969.

AccordingExpress, the murders were sent to kill residents at this address. We do not know if Manson thought that Melcher was there, wanted to scare him, or something else.

He had told him about Manson - and some of his frightening buffoonery, his knives, his zombie followers - and that Manson had gone home on Cielo and she insisted that he moves ...

In 2013, musicianMark Lindsay, who had also lived at home with Melcher and Bergen, said thatManson knew that Melcher had moved Before the murders.

"Everyone has hypothesized that Manson had sent his servants up there to get rid of Terry because he was angry at not having obtained a registration contract," said LindsayMidland Reporter-Telegram. "But Terry and I talked about it later and Terry said that Manson knew it, because Manson or someone from his organization left a note on Terry's porch in Malibu."

In addition, Bergen said on the podcastChat in 2021 thatManson was aware of the Malibu residence in Melcher. TheMurphy BrownStar, who never met Manson herself, recalled: "We then went to Terry's mother in Malibu, and one morning, the telescope was absent from the front terrace, and a message came to Terry in Saying: "By the way I came and I took your telescope so I know where you live. "" She also confirmed that they had moved "to flee Manson".

In another version of the events presented in Tom O'Neill 2019 book, CHAOS: Charles Manson, CIA and secret history of the 60s ,, There was evidence that Melcher was in contact with Manson following the murders, as indicated by the Los Angeles Times . This story is apparently in conflict with the appearance of Melcher during the Manson trial, during which he had to be a drug because he was so afraid of the head of worship.
