Although I have never come across this in my research, it is entirely possible. Manson started working on a 'rap sheet' when he was only 8 years old. And it is common for serial killers to start fires at the begining of their criminal careers so it would not be out of character for him.
When he wasn't confined in juvenile facilities he attended public school.
He was locked up in Gilbralt Boys School in Terre Haute, IN.
I doubt Charles ever stayed there. I could find nothing to confirm that he was ever there.
It is known for a fact the Manson wandered around Washington State at least once.
I gave a lot of reading to found the answer to your question. Every decoment I read does not mention New York as a place where Charles Manson has been.
No, Manson met Dennis Wilson and was at his house bit never met Brian.
I could find no evidence that Manson ever lived in New Mexico. ~ Charles Manson was convicted on Mann's Law for transporting a woman from California to New Mexico for purposes of prostitution. As to whether it was Lordsburg or not, I don't know yet.
I could find no record of Manson ever being an inmate of Leavenworth Federal Prison.
No, he was never married to Danielle Steel.
I really don't think so. He is incapable to take care of himself.
Ultimately, the decision is his. But he is reticent to answer all but a few of the many letters he receives.
Jeffery Dahmer, Ed Gein, Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, etc...
