Phil Kaufman met Charles Manson at Terminal Island. He became the owner
of the Manson recordings which are known as the "Lie" album.
Apparently, he still owns the rights today. Additionally, he was one of
the regulars at the Harold True residence when the Family visited.
According to his book, "Road Mangler Deluxe", he believes the Family was
upset with him over the failure of the recordings. They went looking
for him, but couldn't find him. They then went to the former True house
and couldn't find him there. So, then they just went next door to kill
whomever lived there. This is similar to the theory that the Tate
murders were intended to scare the former resident of that house, Terry
Melcher.
Phil went on to become one of the ultimate rock/country band road managers.
