Yes, Dennis Wilson picked up a couple of the Manson girls hitchhiking and that's how he got in with them. That's also how Manson knew the house where the Tate slayings occurred. Wilson introduced Manson to Terry Melcher, who later rented his house to Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski.
I was looking at the current situations of the Manson family members and this is what i could find.Not all of these people were involved in the murders.
