Lynette ‘Squeaky’ Fromme: 5 Facts On Former Manson Family Member Who Still Loves Killer Charles


READ MORE

Former Charles Manson disciple Lynette ‘Squeaky’ Fromme says that nearly 50 years after the notorious Tate-LaBianca murders, she still loves him and is ‘honored’ to have met him.


To this day the late Charles Manson still has a hold over his “family” members. Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme was a teenager with nowhere to go when she met the infamous cult leader, who ordered two horrific murder sprees in Los Angeles during the summer of 1969. During an ABC special on April 30 entitled Manson Girls, the now 70-year-old Fromme said of Manson, “I don’t think you fall out of love. I feel very honored to have met him, and I know how that sounds to people who think he’s the epitome of evil.” We’ve got five things to know about her.



1. Fromme didn’t participate in the infamous Manson murders.


She was not along when under Manson’s orders, family members Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel, Linda Kasabian and Charles “Tex” Watson broke into actress Sharon Tate‘s rented Hollywood Hills home and butchered the pregnant beauty, along with four other people on Aug. 8, 1969. Fromme also did not participate in the following night’s murders of Rosemary and Leno LaBianca.


2. Fromme spent time in prison for attempting to assassinate then-President Gerald Ford. 


September 5, 1975, Fromme went to Sacramento’s Capitol Park in an attempt to speak to Ford about California’s redwood trees. She came armed with a 45-caliber semiautomatic pistol with 4 bullets but none in the chamber. She was immediately tackled by Secret Service members when she brandished the weapon at the president. She was sentenced to life in prison but was eventually paroled from the Federal Medical Center Carswell in Texas on August 14, 2009.


3. Fromme escaped from federal prison while serving time for her attempt to kill President Ford. 


A nationwide manhunt was underway when on December 23, 1987, she escaped from Federal Prison Camp Alderson in West Virginia. She was found two days later just two miles south of the prison she escaped from. Fromme got paroled in 2008 had to serve an extra year due to the escape.


4. The owner of the Spahn Ranch where the Manson family lived for a time gave Fromme her nickname.


George Spahn gave her the nicknamed her “Squeaky” because she would make that sound whenever he touched her and the name stuck. Fromme lived on the Spahn Ranch on the outskirts of LA with Manson and the rest of the family in the late 1960’s after she met him in a Venice, CA park as a teenager with nowhere to go.




5. Fromme will be portrayed by Dakota Fanning on the big screen in 2019. 


The 25-year-old actress will play the Manson family member in Quentin Tarantino‘s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, which is set in the summer of 1969. It’s due out this July.

Banned Bancroft's journey of self-discovery

Image
READ MORE © Getty Images Spanish lessons, yoga and a host of community work have all been part of the path taken by Cameron Bancroft since the Newlands ball-tampering scandal. The Australia batsman has been looking to seek the sort of perspective and self-knowledge that will prevent him from following the kind of instructions issued to him by David Warner in the Cape Town dressing room. Bancroft spoke in Perth on Saturday ahead of his return to cricket via Twenty20 and 50-over appearances in the Northern Territory, where he will also endeavour to work closely in developing local talent. It’s the next step on the path away from Newlands as Bancroft serves a nine-month ban from the game imposed by Cricket Australia under its code of conduct. Perspective on life was greatly needed as Bancroft, Warner and the former captain Steven Smith pondered what evolved in South Africa, and Bancroft said he had spent plenty of time devoting himself broadening his own knowledge and also to...

Drones to become the new naval mine hunters under Morrison pledge

Image
READ MORE Advanced navies worldwide are increasingly turning to drones to do mine hunting and clearing work at sea. Marcus Hellyer, a former Defence Department official and now a senior analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, said that using autonomous and unmanned sea vehicles allowed the crewed ship to stay at the edge of a minefield, keeping naval personnel safer. The Morrison government has promised if re-elected to fast-track the building of two new mine hunting naval ships. Credit: Nine Newspapers “Common sense has prevailed,” he said of the decision. “Rather than keeping going down the path where you have old technology being extended at great cost, this will introduce new technology more quickly and that’s a good thing. “The current path does keep the human at the centre of the minefield, but the new approach lets them stay outside the minefield and let autonomous vehicles go in and do the dangerous work.” Article source: https:/...
