A filmmaker’s search into her family history took a shocking turn when a DNA test revealed she’s the biological granddaughter of cult leader Charles Manson.

According to a report from People published on Thursday, July 9, Sophia Maddox takes a closer look at her link to the infamous killer in Hulu’s upcoming documentary, My Grandfather Charles Manson.

After taking a DNA test, Maddox discovered that her previously unknown biological grandfather was Manson. The revelation was made even more startling by the fact that her father, Daniel Arguelles, bears a striking resemblance to the cult leader.

“The more Sophia uncovers, the more her relationship with her father is strained,” the synopsis for the documentary states, per the publication. “For Sophia, there’s no turning back. What has she inherited, and how will she reckon with her family legacy?”
