'Tom O’Neill’s “Chaos” pokes seemingly endless holes in the official narrative of the Tate-LaBianca murders of 1969.'
When O’Neill started the project in 1999, his assignment was admittedly less ambitious than a 500-page investigation into one of the country’s most notorious cult leaders and the cultural context that fueled him. At the time, O’Neill was writing for Premiere magazine, which tasked him with reporting a 30th anniversary retrospective looking at the Manson murders’ lingering impact on Hollywood.
Journalist Tom O'Neill published "Chaos" in 2019, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the Manson murders. He was only 20 years late on his original deadline. However, after doing some digging, O’Neill couldn’t help but feel that the story in “Helter Skelter,” published in 1974 by the prosecutor in the Manson trials, Vincent Bugliosi, didn’t add up. Apparently, he wasn’t the only one.
But the information O’Neill uncovered from dozens of interviews, documents and Freedom of Information Act requests doesn’t always appear any more believable. Part of what makes “Chaos” so compelling is how O’Neill weaves his painstaking journey to report this story into the narrative, allowing readers to follow him to prisons, basement libraries, police stations, the doorsteps of former Family members, and his own robust archive of documents.
