Because these crimes were so bizarre, Manson and his chums were so bizarre, they got worldwide attention. Not just the arrests but the trial that at the time was the longest trial in Califorinia history. What OJ Simpson (trial) was to the nineties, Manson was to the 1960s and 1970s. As sad as it is, Manson still retains a certain amount of celebrity. He actually gets 'fan' mail.

Charles Manson was not convicted of killing anyone, but of conspiracy in several murders. The best explanation for Manson acting the way he did is probably that he has advanced antisocial personality disorder.
As far as I can tell, Charles Luther Manson has dropped out of sight. I could find no information on him at all. Sometimes people just want to disappear, it is probably hard with his infamous father.
Below is a link to a list of Manson's family members. It should be noted however that many of the young people that may have had contact with Manson and his regular group would just drift in and out due to the transient ways of the people of that era.
People think that Charles Manson is bipolar, but I personally think that his behavior shows intelligence. His quotes is what made me start to think this. Being bipolar has nothing to do with intelligence. A person can be both. Charles Manson had limited use for his intelligence in his developing years and a very rough life, which apparently drove him into negative use of his intelligence.
No. Charles Manson is a person. Helter skelter came from the mind of Manson, a race war that would eventually make Mason 'king of the world'. He really thought by killing a few influencial white people he could jump start this war.
Most of his 'family' consisted of young, rootless people from middle-class families.
The famed Charles Manson you are referring to actually never killed anyone. He manipulated 9 people into killing FOR him. According to the guards in his prison he has been nothing but peaceful in his 40 years of imprisoment.
I'm sure they were briefly stunned. Manson has a lot of problems, he just doesn't know it. He was diagnosed as APD (anti-social personality disorder), tendencies of paranoia, and as he ages, dementia. He is a master manipulator, a control freak.
