As time goes by, information that was once seen as fact may become irrelevant. The 1969 murders by the Manson Family is a case in point. Journalist Tom O’Neill revisits the murders in CHAOS (2019), reassessing a perplexing case involving not only Hollywood celebrities and cult leader Charles Manson but also the shocking role of the CIA in hiding the truth.
