A police officer had to go through a lot of work to make simple discoveries. Do to these older forms of forensics it was very difficult to catch people who committed a crime. The only thing a forensic scientist could do with it was told the blood type, which in most cases was never helpful. If you were to find blood and collect it. When fingerprints were found pictures were taken of them to compare to pictures in a large book of fingerprints. If pictures were taken it was usually done with a Polaroid camera. There were no computers or digital cameras. In the 1960’s forensic science really didn’t exist yet. No one felt safe anymore, the summer of love was over. In these two nights, seven people were murdered. They did this and returned to Spahn ranch. Again, the killers were told to kill everyone in the house. On the next night August 10th, the killers went out again this time to the home of Labianca’s. Once there, they were to kill everyone in the house.

On this night the killers were sent to the home of Sharon Tate. Helter Skelter was supposed to start a race war according to Manson and his family.

On this night, four people left Spahn Ranch on the orders of Charles Manson to begin what Manson referred to as Helter Skelter. Little did anyone know that August 9th, 1969 would change the world for generations to come. It was called the summer of love, the last year of the 1960s.
