Six facts about Charles Manson, the hippie-era cult leader and serial murderer who died on Sunday at the age of 83:
* While in prison in Washington state in the early 1960s, Manson befriended Alvin "Creepy" Karpis, who had been allied with the deadly Barker bank robbery gang in the 1930s. Karpis taught Manson to play guitar and in a 1980 memoir he described "Little Charlie" as lazy but having "a pleasant voice and pleasing personality, although he's unusually meek and mild for a convict."
