Charles Manson, a cult leader whose crimes loom large in the American psyche, died in the early hours of Monday, the Associated Press confirmed. He was 83. Manson rose to notoriety as the leader of the Family, which TIME described in 1969 as a “semi-religious hippie drug-and-murder cult.” With powerful charisma and a unique blend of ideas culled from religion, science fiction and the occult, he amassed this band of followers from San Francisco and Los Angeles before establishing a compound in Death Valley.
