Newly Released Tapes Suggest Sharon Tate Murders May Have Been Inspired by Something Else
Newly released tapes suggest that Sharon Tate's murders may have been sparked by a different motive than the long-held theory of a race war inspired by Beatles music, according to documentary filmmaker Joe Berlinger. The actual motivation behind the crimes remains unclear.
A new analysis of previously unreleased tapes suggests that Charles Manson's motives for the Sharon Tate murders may have been misinterpreted, with expert Joe Berlinger arguing that the Beatles-inspired 'Helter Skelter' motive was a myth. The tapes reveal a more complex and nuanced picture of Manson's thoughts and intentions on the night of the killings. It appears that Manson's actual goal was to spark a racial war through a series of violent crimes, rather than simply promoting a specific musical ideology. Further investigation may shed new light on the true nature of Manson's motivations.
