The Brief And Tragic Life Of Charles Manson Jr., The Cult Leader’s Son Who Killed Himself
Published By admin
ven after Charles Manson died of natural causes at 83 in Bakersfield, California, his horrific legacy of violence lived on — as did his progeny. Though by that time, only one remained. And according to Heavy, Manson’s first-born, Charles Manson Jr., did everything in his power to distance himself from such a legacy — including take his own life.
Thrust into a world with a father who wrought havoc like the bloody Sharon Tate murders of 1969, perhaps Charles Manson Jr. never stood a chance at a normal life.
The Birth Of Charles Manson Jr.
Charles Manson Jr. was born in 1956, one year after his father married Rosalie Jean Willis in Ohio. She was 15 years old at the time and working as a waitress in a hospital whereas Manson was already 20 years old.
Though the marriage didn’t last long — largely due to Manson’s erratic criminal behavior and subsequent stints in prison — he later said their time as husband and wife was a delight.
When Willis neared her second trimester, the couple moved to Los Angeles. It didn’t take long for Manson to get arrested for taking a stolen car across state lines — then get sentenced to five years probation for it.
Mischievous and psychotic, Manson couldn’t contain himself and was imprisoned at Terminal Island in San Pedro, California that same year. With him behind bars and Willis managing her pregnancy alone, their son Charles Manson Jr. was born to a single mother.
Not long after, Willis filed for divorce and tried to live a more normal life. Charles Manson, meanwhile, went on to amass a loyal following of “Manson Family” cultists who would commit several of American history’s most infamous murders in 1969.
