How many people did King Charles have killed?
The total can only be guessed at. William Metzner, incarcerated in a California prison for the murders of Hollywood producer Roy Radin and Hollywood prostitute June Mincher, may have killed others, and it seems likely that he has. Once thought by some to even be the serial killer named Zodiac, the California killer of the 1960's and 1970's, but has been all but eliminated as a suspect for those murders.
Metzner, exposed as author Maury Terry's 'Charles Manson II', Mentzer's ties to a nation-wide satanic cult that involved many bizzare murders including the 'Son of Sam' murders by fellow cultist David Berkowitz. Terry's bestselling expose' of the alarming rise in satanic cult crimes involved an investigation that spanned a decade and involved David Berkowitz, many movers-and-shakers of the movie industry, Charles Manson, the music industry including Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys and other big names in recording, and investigated for years by not only Terry but by other notables such as FBI special agent Ted Gunderson, an authority on crimes connected with cults.
I believe other killings that may be connected to Manson II are being investigated quietly in the hope that some old cases can finally be closed and the extent of satanic cults can finally be revealed. Whether this will mean more prison time for Manson II is hard to determine at this point. We will have to wait and see what happens next. Mentzer is going nowhere, at least for now.
