I wonder if they took glasses from car.
creepy-crawl missions ultimately got the girls used to breaking and entering people’s homes. Just months later, those home invasions escalated into murder.
In the pre-dawn hours after Tex Watson, Patricia Krenwinkel and Susan Atkins murdered Sharon Tate and four of her houseguests at Manson’s orders, Charlie went to the property to see their handiwork.
It is rumored that Brenda accompanied Manson.

“Returning to the scene of any crime is risky business, so instead of turning up Cielo Drive, we drove past and looked up the hill to see if there was any activity that might indicate the police had arrived. Everything was quiet. We parked the car a short distance away and walked to the premises. We entered the grounds by climbing over the fence, as the kids had done. As Sadie and Tex had said, the first victim’s car was off the driveway a short distance from the gate…. I carefully wiped the car clean of possible finger prints without disturbing the body of the boy who lay dead inside.
Approaching a house where you know there are dead bodies has a spine-chilling effect, and I think if I had been alone, I might have forgotten about continuing any further. My partner probably felt the same way, but neither of us spoke and we did go on to see the whole gory mess. Tex and Sadie’s description had been accurate. What I was seeing was not a scene from a movie or some horrible acid fantasy, but real people who would never see the morning’s sun. I’d had thoughts of creating a scene more in keeping with a black-against-white retaliation, but in looking around, I lost the heart to carry out my plans.” — Charles Manson quoted in Manson: In His Own Words as told to Nuel Emmons ©1986 Grove Press
Whomever Charlie’s partner was that night, they were the ones who left a pair of eyeglasses as a ruse — a misleading clue for police to later find.
