The sister of one of Charles Manson's victims says she said a prayer for Manson after hearing about his death. Manson died Sunday evening at a hospital in Bakersfield, California, where his health had been deteriorating. Debra Tate says she "said a prayer for his soul" after getting word of Manson's death. Tate's sister, Sharon, was killed by Manson in August of 1969. Sharon Tate was 8 1/2 months pregnant at the time. Debra says Manson has been a part of her life for nearly 48 years. She says she never wished ill of any of the convicted killers. Manson's desire to start a national race war was behind him directing followers in the cult he called his family to kill actress Sharon Tate and 6 other people. Tate and 4 others were brutally killed on August 9th.
The next night, Manson's followers killed supermarket executive Leno LaBianca and his wife Rosemary.
