Mary Brunner
Mary Theresa Brunner (born December 17, 1943) is a former member of the Manson Family. Manson was a paroled career criminal when he met Brunner, who was the first of a number of vulnerable young women that he became a guru to as leader of a hippie-style commune. He attempted to become a recording artist. In March 1969 Manson was rebuffed when he went to a producer's residence, which was by then being rented by Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate. The next month he shot a black man over a drug dispute. Paranoid about Black Panthers exacting vengeance, Manson brought a motorcycle gang to the commune. Brunner and Bobby Beausoleil were sent to the home of acquaintance Gary Hinman, a UCLA Ph.D. candidate in sociology and musician. He was held captive and murdered. Brunner later testified that Beausoleil killed Hinman, because he would not join Manson's pop group.
On August 6, 1969 Beausoleil was arrested in possession of Hinman's car. Days later Brunner was arrested for credit card fraud. That evening Manson ordered the deaths of Tate and her housemates. The following evening he went out with and supervised several followers when they killed a couple at their isolated residence, which Manson had noticed while at a party with an acquaintance with links to music industry. He also sent followers on an abortive mission to kill an actor with whom one of the Family women had slept. On August 16, 1969 the commune was raided by police investigating thefts, a man Manson suspected of informing was killed soon after. Subsequently the bike gang told police that Manson was connected to the Tate killings. Manson and other 'Family' members were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. Prior to 2011, very few with any conviction on a charge of murder were able to obtain parole in California, but in 1985 Clem Grogan was released. The female 'Family' members convicted of murder became the longest serving women inmates in the state.
With the benefit of a more capable attorney than some other Manson Family women had, Brunner obtained witness immunity for the Hinman murder trial. When questioned by Beausoleil, she contradicted her prior testimony for the prosecution (which she claimed had been “coerced”) and denied he had killed Hinman. She was then arraigned for Hinman's murder and held without bail, with the prospect of the evidence she had given as a witness under an immunity agreement being used to convict her. Brunner's lawyer was successful in having the charges dismissed; courts ruled that she had been of sufficient assistance to the prosecution under their deal that it could not be abrogated. In 1971, Brunner was shot and captured while she, Catherine Share and male Manson associates were robbing a gun shop, supposedly in furtherance of a scheme to free Manson. She was sent to the California Institution for Women secure unit, joining three Manson followers convicted during the Tate-LaBianca trial. Brunner was paroled in the mid-seventies, and has avoided further public attention.
==Meeting Charles Manson==
Born and raised in Eau Claire, Wisconsin to George and Elsie Brunner, she moved to California upon graduating from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1965 and took up a job as library assistant at UC Berkeley. She met 33-year-old career criminal Charles Manson, who had been released from Terminal Island prison several weeks prior to their meeting. She let Manson stay at her apartment and, after a period of weeks, the two became lovers, Brunner quit her job, and the two began to drift around California in a van, meeting other young women. During the summer of 1967, Manson impregnated Brunner and on April 15, 1968 she gave birth to a son she named Valentine Michael (nicknamed "Pooh Bear";〔Bugliosi, Vincent: ''Helter Skelter'', 1994. pg. 513〕 Valentine Michael Smith is the name of the protagonist in Robert Heinlein's 1961 novel ''Stranger In A Strange Land'') in a condemned house in Topanga Canyon and was assisted during the birth by several of the young women from the Family. Brunner (like most members of the group) acquired a number of aliases and nicknames, including: "Marioche", "Och", "Mother Mary", "Mary Manson", "Linda Dee Manson" and "Christine Marie Euchts".〔Bugliosi, Vincent: ''Helter Skelter'', 1974. pg. ''xv''.〕 After arriving in Venice, California, Brunner and Manson met 18-year-old Lynette Fromme and the three began living together in a rented house at 636 Cole Street in San Francisco. Over the course of the following two years, the Family enlarged to include between 20 and 30 individuals living communally; some, like Brunner and Fromme, became ardent followers of Manson, while others drifted in and out of the group. After traveling along the California coast and excursions to Washington, Oregon and Nevada, the ever-growing number of young women and men eventually settled down at Spahn Ranch, an occasional film set operated by an elderly man named George Spahn, near the Los Angeles suburb of Chatsworth. Manson ostensibly based his commune on principles of freedom and love, but he exerted dictatorial control. In addition to having sex with Spahn and others, the female followers were sent to the city on criminal activities such as fraud. Manson also had illegal firearms and played host to a motorcycle gang.〔(''Crime Magazine: An Encyclopedia of Crime'' )〕
