This week on True Crime This Week, host Vanessa Richardson explores the twisted lives of two of history’s most notorious prisoners. First, the story of Charles Manson, the manipulative cult leader whose “Family” turned peace and love into terror. From failed musician to prophet of “Helter Skelter,” Manson’s descent into madness culminated in one of the most chilling murder sprees in American history. Then, meet Robert Stroud, the “Birdman of Alcatraz.” Though immortalized as a gentle animal lover, the real Stroud was a violent killer who spent more than 40 years in solitary confinement. His obsession with canaries and his unlikely fame reveal the strange line between redemption and myth. Two men. Two cells. One shared legacy of infamy.
