Charles Manson says he killed more people in chilling prison audio released from upcoming documentary, ‘Making Manson’.
The convicted murderer and cult leader claimed in the Peacock documentary audio being released later this month that he committed unknown killings south of the border. The docuseries delves in the dark and twisted world of Manson and those who followed him – with Manson himself talking about “his part in the infamous crimes, as well as his upbringing, criminal youth, and his true feelings about ‘The Family,'” Peacock says.
Manson tells the film makers: “I just got involved in stuff over my head, man. Got involved in a couple killings. I left my .357 magnum in Mexico City and I left some dead people on the beach.” Manson died in 2017 aged 83. During the summer of 1969 his ‘Family’ members carried out a series of terrifying massacres.

They butchered Hollywood actress Sharon Tate, who was eight-and-a-half months pregnant when she was killed, along with several of a friends and a teenager who was working in the home.
Charles Manson’s Family continued their murderous spree the following night when they burst into the home of supermarket executive Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary, and slaughtered the couple. They were finally arrested in December that year for a series of car thefts.
The latest dcumentary comes amid a bitter fight over cult leader Charles Mansons $1 million estate has been hit with yet another delay as three claimants are locked in a bitter feud over the notorious killers belongings.
Los Angeles real estate agent Daniel Arguelles, 64, insists he is Mansons son, while memorabilia collector Michael Channels, 57, says he has a will he says leaves everything to him. Meanwhile, Jason Freeman, 48, a former MMA fighter from Bradenton, Florida, claims to be the convicted killer’s grandson. LA Superior Court Judge Ruben Garcia has now granted Arguelles request to bifurcate his case, meaning he will have a separate mini-trial to establish whether he is indeed the heir.
This bifurcation will take place before a main trial, where he would face off against Freeman and Channels. Judge Garcia scheduled a trial-setting conference for February 21 next year to decide when the bifurcation trial will occur. He was also expected to rule on the authenticity of the contested will, which Channels claims is signed by Manson and disinherits his children, but postponed that decision to the February court date.
For years, Freeman appeared to have the upper hand in his claim, backed by a 1986 Ohio court ruling that identified him as the son of Mansons deceased son, Charles Manson Jr. However, in 2022, Arguelles entered the battle, asserting that he is Mansons biological son from a brief affair in 1959. Judge Garcia previously acknowledged Freeman as Manson Jr.s son but requested further proof linking Manson Jr. to Manson Sr.
To support his claim, his lawyers later produced Manson Jr.s birth certificate, which names Charles Manson as his father. Manson died of natural causes on November 19 2017 at Corcoran State Prison where he spent 47 years on death row. Some of the cult leaders belongings – like his guitars, clothes and other personal jailhouse property that currently sits in boxes at a storage facility – could fetch thousands from collectors.
