Even after hearing about the murders for all these years, I wasn’t prepared to see these all these photos. You can hear people describe how the victims died on podcasts, or read about it in books or on websites, but the photos tell their own story. These photos are real – not Photoshopped, not part of a reenactment.
You hear about El Coyote, George Spahn, dune buggies in the desert, the conspiracy theories, LSD orgies, and the glamorization of these events.īut when you see the autopsy photos, the endless speculation and all the background characters fade away. Yet for all the articles, videos, and social media shares about this case, you rarely hear people mention the hard evidence and the autopsy photos. The photos are widely available now because of social media and the internet.

It’ not a bunch of people talking anymore, or some fictionalized version that exists on a movie screen or in your imagination. I guess didn’t really want to see them, because that’s when the reality hits you. (It’s easier to ignore photos when they’re in a book than when they’re a click away on the internet.)
I’d avoided looking at most of the Tate-LaBianca autopsy photos for decades, probably because you had to find a book, magazine, or broadcast TV show displaying them in pre-internet days.
