The young woman reportedly
confided that the Tate and La
Bianca killers were members of the
cult which considered itself divinely
guided and above the law.
She recounted details of the Tate :
murder scene which, in the judg-
ment of police, only the killers could
have known.
She supplied nicknames, aliases,
first names and a few entire names
which the informant passed along to
detectives. These led officers to the
last known stronghold of the noma-
dic tribe in Death Valley.
Before Miss Tate was killed, the
informant told police, she pleaded to
be spared, saying: "Let me have my
baby." She was 84 months pregnant
at the time.
