Tom O'Neill's 2019 investigation — claiming through 20 years of research that the official Manson murder narrative (Bugliosi's Helter Skelter) was a construction, and that evidence of CIA involvement and law enforcement complicity was suppressed.
Creates the most documented challenge to Helter Skelter — Chaos documents through FOIA records and interviews that Manson's parole was repeatedly overlooked despite violations, that his relationship with the Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic may have been part of MKUltra-era experiments, and that Bugliosi's motive theory was prosecutorially convenient rather than accurate.
No recorded contemporaries.
