Lynette 'Squeaky' Fromme gossip
MANSON ASSASSIN NEW LOVE
Published on: 10/09/2009
From The ENQUIRER:
"Murderous Manson disciple Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme could be in BIG trouble once again.Just a month after the would-be presidential assassin was released from prison, The ENQUIRER learned she's in apparent violation of her parole conditions by living with a convicted felon.
Some 34 years after trying to gun down President Gerald Ford, the 60-year-old Manson disciple has moved in with a man who's been convicted of manslaughter.The ENQUIRER tracked Squeaky to the upstate New York home of 59-year-old jailbird Robert Valdner. She was released from a federal facility in Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. 14."Robert started corresponding with Squeaky several years ago," a friend told The ENQUIRER. "
He's proudly showed off letters and photos she sent him."As long as three years ago, he was telling pals she would live with him after her release. "He's got a wild past - and a collection of books on Manson and murders. At Christmas, he decorates his tree with lighted skulls. He's a weight-lifting fanatic and has a large collection of knives and swords."
Official records, obtained by The ENQUIRER, show that Valdner pleaded guilty in 1988 to first-degree manslaughter in the shooting death of his brother-in-law. His plea also covered charges of criminal use of a firearm, possession of a weapon and attempted murder. He was sentenced to 4 to 12 years in prison.Valdner was released Oct. 22, 1992 - the same day Squeaky celebrated her 44th birthday.The U.S. Parole Commission guidelines for parolees states: "
The releasee shall not associate with a person who has a criminal record without permission from the supervision officer."
When The ENQUIRER contacted spokesman Tom Hutchinson of the U.S. Parole Commission, he stated: "We have no comment on Miss Fromme's whereabouts, and we cannot comment on the conditions of her parole."
When an ENQUIRER reporter approached a bare-chested Valdner for comment outside his home and asked if he was romantically involved with Squeaky, the ex-con sneered: "That's none of your f****n business!"

Roman Polanski
"It’s piquant to think of Roman Polanski, a Polish Jew whose mother died in a concentration camp, being dragged back in chains to the US at the age of 75 to face the music, passing in the airport terminal some even older German being hauled out of the US to stand trial in Europe for the crimes buried in his past as a concentration camp guard.
Putting the distant past on trial is, in terms of ratings, a chancy business. These days the 85-year old bit players in the Final Solution don’t arouse the passions they used to. So far as old Nazis are concerned, geezer renditions now prompt a certain embarrassment at the trouble and expense involved. Why not leave the ancient camp guard to rot in his nursing home in Cleveland, goose-stepping into oblivion, arm-in-arm with Herr Alzheimer?
Not so Polanski. The passions his case arouse here are vivid because sexual tolerance has shriveled so fiercely since 1977 when Polanski fatefully crossed paths with the 13-year old Samantha Geimer."

Lynette 'Squeaky' Fromme plans to live in Oneida County
Marcy, NY -- Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, the Charles Manson follower convicted in 1975 of pointing a gun at then-President Gerald Ford, is moving to Marcy, in Oneida County, local officials said Tuesday.
Oneida County Undersheriff Peter Paravati and state police spokesman Lt. Glenn Miner said federal authorities notified their offices about Fromme moving into the area.
District Attorney Scott McNamara said he was notified by state police that the 60-year-old Fromme was moving to Marcy following her release last month after serving 34 years in federal prison.
"If she has arrived, nobody's heard from her. Nobody has seen her. Nobody's made a fuss," McNamara said.
Paravati and McNamara said they were given no other information about Fromme's move.
"I thought it was a joke at first," said the prosecutor, who added that federal authorities routinely notify local law enforcement agencies when federal parolees convicted of drug, sex or violent crimes relocate to a community.
"Obviously, it creates a concern because of the crimes she was convicted of committing," McNamara said. "But as far as us treating her any differently than anyone else, she's paid her debt to society."
Fromme eluded the media last month as she left the Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas. She declined a recent interview request from The Associated Press. Officials did not know of her whereabouts Tuesday.
Prison officials would not say where she planned to live or what she planned to do after more than 30 years behind bars. Some of Fromme's relatives still live in her home state of California.
U.S. Parole Commission spokesman Tom Hutchison noted again Tuesday that he could not discuss Fromme's plans. Fromme will be on supervised release for two years and must report regularly to a parole officer, he said.
In September 1975, Fromme pushed through a crowd, drew a semiautomatic .45-caliber pistol from a thigh holster and pointed it at Ford, who was shaking hands with well-wishers at the California State Capitol in Sacramento. Secret Service agents grabbed her and the gun. Ford wasn't hurt.
Fromme was a college student before joining Manson's "family," where she reportedly got her nickname because of her voice. She was never implicated in the 1969 murders of actress Sharon Tate and eight others, for which Manson is serving a life term in Corcoran State Prison in California.
The news that Fromme already is, or soon could be, a neighbor came as a surprise to local residents and officials.
Town Supervisor Brian Scala said he had not been given any information and had no comment.
"I'm surprised, but not alarmed," said Raymond Maciewicz, 58, of Marcy. "It's an awful long time ago. Maybe she's repented her ways."
The town of Marcy is 55 miles east of Syracuse and includes four hamlets spread over 33 square miles with about 9,000 people. Although mostly rural, the town is home to two medium-security state prisons, the county jail and the State University of New York Institute of Technology.

Charles Manson could care less about Phil Spector
Prison officials probe Spector's safety concerns

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Authorities said Thursday that Phil Spector does not fear for his safety in prison despite a letter that he recently wrote to a friend saying he felt in danger and wanted to be moved to a "better" facility.
"We interviewed Mr. Spector today," said Lt. Stephen Smith, spokesman for the Corcoran, Calif., prison where Spector is held. "Mr. Spector states he does not fear for his safety at our institution. He said he hopes he can stay here at our institution."
Terry Thornton, spokeswoman for the California Department of Corrections said an Associated Press story about a letter Spector wrote fretting over his safety was brought to the attention of prison officials, who looked into it.
"We have a legal obligation to house all inmates safely," she said.
Spector, a legendary music producer, is serving 19 years to life for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson, who was found shot through the mouth at Spector's Alhambra mansion in February 2003.
In an Aug. 10 letter to a friend, Spector complained about being in a prison that houses "gangsters and Manson types" and said he was eating in his cell to avoid exposure to dangerous inmates. He said he was trying to get to "a better prison."
As for Spector's complaints about being in the same prison with Charles Manson and Sirhan Sirhan, Thornton said they are located a few miles apart in different facilities.
Spector, 69, is at the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison at Corcoran, where more than 6,900 other inmates are housed. He is in a "sensitive needs yard," an area that typically houses prisoners who have dropped out of gangs or are trying to avoid gangs. Spector was probably placed there because of his notoriety, Smith said.
Manson, Sirhan and a few other high profile prisoners are at Corcoran State Prison a few miles away. They are in the protective housing unit, Thornton said.
"It's the highest form of protection we have in the state," she said. Others housed there include mass murderer Juan Corona and Michael Markhasev, the killer of Bill Cosby's son.
"If Manson was housed in the general population yard, he'd probably get killed," Thornton said.
She said Manson is isolated from others in his unit by his own choice.
"He doesn't care about Spector. He doesn't care about anybody," she said.

Free Manson 'family' members haunted by horror
By LINDA DEUTSCH AP Special Correspondent
Published: Sunday, Aug. 9, 2009
Those who are free are still trying to sort out how they fell under his spell and how they came so close to one of the worst crimes of the 20th century. This is the anniversary of their nightmare.
They were very young when they found Manson - or he found them. Some were just 14. Others were in their late teens and early 20s.
Share muses how she might have been a lawyer or journalist had she never met Manson.
"We were just a bunch of kids looking for love and attention and a different way to live," recalls Share, 66. "He was everything to us. He was a con, a manipulator of the worst kind."
Hoyt was a 17-year-old who had left home after an argument with her father. She was sitting under a tree eating her lunch when a group of Manson followers came along in a van and asked her to go with them. They went to a house in the San Fernando Valley.
"I met Charlie the next morning," she said. "He took me for a motorcycle ride and we went for doughnuts. He was very nice. I thought he was pretty neat."
She said she was told by others of Manson's prediction of a race war that would destroy all but his followers who would go to the desert to live in a bottomless pit until it was safe for them to emerge and take over the world. She said she didn't believe much of it, but they were fixing up dune buggies for their escape and it was fun.
Hoyt and Share eluded being tapped for the Tate-LaBianca murders for different reasons.
"I was very young and I hadn't been there very long," said Hoyt. Others had joined the family long before she had and had been subject to Manson's "deprogramming," which included group sex and LSD trips.
"I wasn't as dead in the head as others. He asked me one time if I could kill and I said if someone asked me I would talk my way out of it. There were other people willing to do it."
Share said she was never asked, partly because she was older. But there was another reason: an extra 20 pounds that would have made it difficult for her to climb through windows.
"Let me tell you," she said, "I was just short of murdering for him. If he had told me to get some black clothes and get in a car, I would have."
The two women, who are not in touch with each other, have struggled back to normalcy. Share became pregnant while living at Spahn Ranch and has a grown son who served in the Marines. She declines to identify the father but said it was not Manson or any other notorious cult figure.
She went to prison for five years for involvement in a Manson Family robbery and later did more time for credit card fraud. She said the time in prison helped her recover and she became a Christian. Some of those in prison also have embraced Christianity.
Share went into retail sales and has just finished a book on her experiences with the Manson Family.
Hoyt went to college and became a nurse and is proud of her accomplishments.
"I raised my daughter; I have my own home and I've had some vacations," she said. But memories haunt her and she doesn't reveal where she's living.
"People freak out when they find out about my past," she said.
She keeps track of the Manson Family members in prison and writes letters urging that they never be released.
Share is more sympathetic to those who were convicted. Susan Atkins, 61, who is dying of brain cancer and had a leg amputated, has been turned down for compassionate release and has a parole hearing coming up in September. Leslie Van Houten, 59, and Patricia Krenwinkel, 61, convicted with her, remain in prison for life as does Charles "Tex" Watson, 63, another of the killers.
"Everyone wants to make them monsters," said Share. "They weren't monsters. They did a monstrous thing and now they're older people and they're not monsters anymore. None of those people ever would have been violent if it weren't for Manson."
