Missing Members of the Manson Family

Once a remote home to Charles Manson and his "family", the Barker Ranch has long been the subject of stories suggesting that several disenchanted young people who spent time there in the late 1960's attempted to leave — but "disappeared" without a trace from the isolated community. Now, police Sgt. Paul Dostie and his cadaver dog Buster are investigating what might have happened to missing persons at both The Barker Ranch in Death Valley, CA., and at the Manson family's Los-Angeles area home, The Spahn Ranch in Chatsworth, CA.

This one-hour documentary will feature interviews with former family members, detectives and prosecutors, as well as archival footage, rarely seen photos and forensic investigation, as Sgt. Dostie and Buster lead us on a search for clandestine graves and buried secrets.

Tune in Thursday, Dec. 18 at 9 p.m. for Manson's Missing Victims.
