Bruce Davis

The 66-year-old One Day at a Time actress, who divorced her third husband in 2007, says, "I had to be alone to recharge." Next up, Bob Mackie, who outfitted Cher throughout the '70s and '80s, died September 14th from pneumonia.

A post on his Instagram account read, "He lived his 87 years to the fullest, fulfilling his dream of being a fashion and costume designer, which is all he ever wanted." And finally, on news flashes, Charlie Manson's right-hand man, Bruce Davis, died in prison at 83.

He was convicted in 1972 for the murders of musician Gary Hinman and stuntman Donald "Shorty" Shea.

He had been serving a life sentence at San Quentin in California.

He stated in interviews that they met outside a club on the Sunset Strip in LA, and this would have been in the late 60s.

Now, according to Grandpa Munster, Charlie was a nice guy who would occasionally bring his guitar over and babysit his kids.

According to Grandpa Al Lewis, Manson would babysit his children.

And I guess it makes sense because Charlie Manson did prove to have an uncanny ability to babysit runaways.

I mean, that's fucking balls in, that's balls deep in Scientology, is it not? And also, and I must imagine this makes the higher ups in Scientology fucking cringe, but Manson apparently integrated pieces of Scientology's philosophy into the Manson family belief system when he set himself up as a guru in San Francisco.

Yikes, right? As if Scientology didn't already seem fucking culty enough.

And then finally, Bruce Davis, who was a close follower, and he was kind of a right-hand man for Chuck Manson there for a while.

This guy, Bruce Davidson, later spent time working at the Church of Scientology headquarters in London in late 1968.

But mostly the Lea Michele.

And also, I come to find out, so I was researching for the show, who had died recently, and I come to find out that Bruce Davis died.

Our listeners probably don't know who Bruce Davis is, but he was actually...

One of the Manson family guys.

Okay.

Police called his slit throat a suicide.

Was it just a coincidence that family member Bruce Davis, convicted in the Hinman and Shea murders, was also in London at the time? The list goes on and on, rumors and stories of possible Manson victims buried in clandestine graves at both the Spahn and Barker ranches.

Manson was convicted separately in a later trial for the murders of Gary Hinman and Shorty Shea.

And so was Bruce Davis.

Steve Grogan was convicted in Shea's killing, and Bobby Beausoleil had already been convicted of Hinman's murder and sentenced to death before the Tate-LaBianca trial even started.

And that was supposed to be the end of it.

Her next hearing is scheduled for this October.

Bobbi Beausoleil was granted parole in January of last year, more than 55 years after Gary Hinman was killed.

the governor reversed that too a court upheld the reversal in december and he was denied again at a hearing earlier in 2026. bruce davis convicted in the hinman and shea killings is still in prison he's in his 80s and he has been in custody since he turned himself in at the end of 1970. he was found suitable for parole years ago and had it reversed by a governor and that pattern has repeated more than once since and charles tex watson who killed more people in this case than anyone else is 80 years old has been denied parole roughly 18 times and has a hearing scheduled for this october i'm not going to guess at what happens at those hearings they haven't happened yet what i can tell you is that the la county district attorney's office has opposed release in these cases for decades and that Deborah Tate still goes to them.

Gary Hinman was a music teacher who let people sleep on his floor.

can you tell me your coldiest thing? Yes.

So, Bruce Davis died.

Who's that? Yeah.

right hand man of Charles Manson of the Manson family, one of the cults we talk a lot about.

Yeah, Tex Watson.

Yeah, I was like, I don't recall.

I don't remember Bruce Davis.

He's committed very violent acts.
