Mary Brunner
Mary Theresa Brunner 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 hippiestyle commune. He attempted to become a recording artist. In March 1969 Manson was rebuffed when he went to a producers 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 musician and a UCLA Ph.D. candidate in sociology. He was held captive and murdered. Brunner later testified that Beausoleil killed Hinman, because he would not join Mansons pop group.
