The above is taken from the LaBianca murder investigation report. Reading it again for shits and giggles I was struck by ...well everyone's been arrested. Credit Card fraud for Suzan, Car Theft for Frank, Drug Possession for Dorgan, friends in Juvie. Embezzlement for pops. It does beg the question- is that a lot of criminality or is it just me? I mean I don't know that many criminals and I know a ton of people.
It feels like there is something here, but then again it is hard to form a theory.

According to the Schreck book, Negrini and O'Brien were from the Sylmar area, where the Labianca wallet was found in the gas station.
The notion being that the placing of the wallet was an attempt to frame them or point suspicion towards them. They supposedly had beefs with the Labiancas.
The interesting point being that the killer(s) knew the doings of the Labiancas enough to know that fact.
Interesting. That makes me wonder about the possibility that the LaBianca killings were a murder by hire, which could make sense given the motive (my belief) for the Tate killings were drugs/money.
has anyone notice dorgan is not listed as a motorcycle gang member let alone a straight satan.
Yes, Dorgan being a Straight Satan would make things very interesting indeed.
But although he is rumored to have been one, it is not proven he ever was.
And where did the rumor come from? The only source I can find is from CM himself in one of his interviews.
Maybe he was not a full initiate. Patty is told that her father in law used to "run with the Angels" but he was only loosely on the fringes due to his role as a bouncer at a popular biker hangout.
These people all knew each other, they all had criminal records, they all had similar lifestyles. Whether Dorgan actually owned a Harley is kind of a moot point. It was most certainly about drugs and money.
So August 9 & 10 are drug hits? If that's the case the Manson Family gets two contracts to fulfill back to back?
Let's say that is true. Then where was the payoff. Why were theyso broke for the move to the desert?
@Matt, Perhaps there was no payoff because Manson owed them ? Much like Tex owed Manson one ? Idk, just throwing it out there.
I don't think that the two nights have the same motive, imo.
Were the contracts completed successfully, or botched?
If the latter, no payoff.
Intriguing

You're right, in my opinion, the Tate murders would not have been for hire.
What if the Straight Satans accepted the death of the Labiancas as payment of some sort of debt owed by Manson or someone associated with him?
