Linda Plans Book About Cult Life
Sunday, August 23rd, 1970
MILFORD, N.H., Aug. 23 – Linda Kasabian, the star prosecution witness in the Tate-LaBianca murder trial in Los Angeles, plans to write a book about her experiences with the Manson family, the Boston Globe said Saturday in a copyrighted story.
The tiny mother of two said she has agreed to collaborate with an unidentified west coast author in the venture, it was reported.
“I am thrilled to be home again and very happy with the understanding being shown me by all my friends in Milford,” Mrs. Kasabian said Friday.
She is staying with her mother, Mrs. Kenneth Byrd, and two children, Tanya, 2, and Angel, 5 months, at her mother’s home in this town of 5,000 in southern New Hampshire a few miles from the Massachusetts border.
Mrs. Kasabian, 22, wearying a wig to disguise her identity, flew to Boston Thursday after testifying for 18 days at the trial in Los Angeles.
Mrs. Kasabian, who is separated from her second husband, said she hopes to buy a house “in the country” and live there with her children. She said she may leave Milford but plans to remain here for the time being.
“I am anxious to go to work somewhere so Linda can stay home with her children,” Mrs. Byrd was reported to have said.
“After all, this is the first time in eight months that she has been with them.”
Mrs. Kasabian declined to talk about the murder trial of Charles Manson and members of his family for the slayings of actress Sharon Tate and six others.
“I can’t talk about the case because I am still technically a witness, subject to recall after 48 hours notice,” she said.
