The story begins in the spring of 1968, when Wilson picked up two hitchhiking Manson Family members at his Pacific Palisades home. This chance encounter led to a chaotic relationship where Manson and his followers moved into Wilson's mansion, reportedly costing him over $100,000 in expenses. Wilson eventually cut ties with them, but not before they had a profound impact on his life.
