After shooting Steven Parent in the driveway, they gathered the others in the living room, where they killed the rest one by one, stabbing and shooting them multiple times. Finally, Tate pleaded with them to let her live until she gave birth and offered herself as a hostage to save her unborn child. However, Watson and Atkins stabbed Tate 16 times and killed her. Her child eventually died of cerebral anoxia in the womb. NBC Dateline The Summer of Manson - Why did the Manson family murder Sharon Tate Charles Manson was an aspiring musician who used unconventional ways to network within the music industry and Hollywood to further his career. He tried to get a record contract with record producer Terry Melcher, who previously lived on Cielo Drive with his girlfriend Candice Bergen and musician Mark Lindsay. Vince Scales@VinceS_PGHIn 1971, Charles Manson was convicted of 1st-degree murder & conspiracy to commit murder for the deaths of 7 people. Although the prosecution conceded that Manson never literally ordered the murders, they contended that his ideology constituted an overt act of conspiracy!In 1971, Charles Manson was convicted of 1st-degree murder & conspiracy to commit murder for the deaths of 7 people. Although the prosecution conceded that Manson never literally ordered the murders, they contended that his ideology constituted an overt act of conspiracy! Melcher earlier considered and then decided against giving Manson a record contract. So it's possible that Sharon Tate and the other occupants of the house that night were not the Manson family's intended targets. They were murdered because the previous tenants of the house had crossed Manson, who was probably unaware of the change in the occupants. There is still evidence to the contrary as Susan Atkins, one of the members who perpetrated the murders that night, claimed that they murdered Tate and the others because they "wanted to do a crime that would shock the world, that the world would have to stand up and take notice." She indicated that Manson knew that Melcher was no longer living on Cielo Drive.
