- More digging possible in Manson murders: Investigators are considering digging for bodies at Barker Ranch ranch where Charles Manson and his acolytes once hid out. An ad hoc team of detectives and forensic investigators visited Barker Ranch last month to test the soil for evidence of decomposed bodies. Follow-up laboratory testing revealed that at least two sites could be unmarked graves, and the group is urging local investigators to begin excavating. Police in nearby Bishop have also reopened a different case believed to be linked to the Manson family. Fillippo Tennerelli was found dead in a motel room there on Oct. 1, 1969. At the time, the death was ruled a suicide, but at the behest of Dostie and a relative of one of Manson’s victims, police are now reviewing the case to find out whether he really killed himself. Debra Tate, whose sister Sharon Tate was killed by Manson’s clan, said she was told there was a drug link between Tennerrelli and the Manson family. “At this point, we’re looking at whatever shreds of evidence we can gather,” Bishop police Chief Kathleen Sheehan said. “There’s no statute of limitations on murder.”
