Four members of the Manson family cult were arrested today for the brutal slayings of seven victims. Charles Manson, Susan Atkins, Leslie Van Houten and Patricia Krenwinkel were convicted and taken in to custody for the Tate-LaBianca murders that occured three months ago. Manson, the cult leader, reportedly ordered members Atkins, Van Houten and Krenwinkel to carry out the vicious murders that took place on August 9. Abigil Folger, heiress to the Folger coffee company, her boyfriend Voytek Frykowski, Jay Sebring, Steve Parent and Sharon Tate, the wife of film director Roman Polanski were the victims of the first slayings. Leno and Rosemary LaBianca were the last two victims that took place later that same day. Tate was eight months pregnant.
Multimedia:
- Any kind of video that may have caught the family members entering either property
- A timeline of how the events occured (in what order each person was killed)
- Pictures and biographies of each family member arrested
- Pictures and biographies of the victims
- Photos of the property where the slayings took place
- Photos of the weapons used (if possible)
- Any photos of the crime scene that would be reasonable enough to use
- Photos of Spahn Ranch (where the cult members lived)
People I would speak to:
- Family members and friends of the victims
- Neighbors that reporedly heard sounds the night of the murders
- Any people that might know Charles Manson from previous encounters
- Police that were present at the murder scene or those dealing with the crime report
- Other Manson family members (if possible)

Maddie - interesting choice - newsy and suspenseful. Photos/biographies of the family members involved is a great idea. You might put them in a flashy graphic where you could click on or roll over each photo and have their biographies pop up.
