She claimed to have endangered the life of the President -and thereby revived the national nightmare of political assassination -solely to win a new trial for her master and mentor, Charles Manson. The psychopathic guru had been sentenced to jail for life, along with three of his women followers, for the sadistic slayings of Actress Sharon Tate and six others in 1969.

Squeaky went with Manson and another girl to Haight-Ashbury, where Manson seemed to be a hero, especially to young women. The first girl was dropped and another, Mary, was picked up in Berkeley. Then the three drove in a 1948 Chevrolet to the little town of Casper, where they found other disaffected flower children and settled in a house in the woods. There Charlie ordered her to "take off your clothes. " Later, after some hesitation on her part, they had sex for the first time...
