What happens when charisma, chaos, and a broken culture collide. This 15-minute summary of Helter Skelter follows the inside story of how the lead prosecutor unraveled the Manson Family murders-one of the most shocking crime sprees in modern history-and turned a pile of contradictions into a coherent case. From the panic in Los Angeles and the confusion of the early investigation to the discovery of the "Family," Spahn Ranch, and the apocalyptic Helter Skelter ideology, you'll see how words, manipulation, and control became weapons just as lethal as any knife.
