of their daughter. The Krenwinkels had divorced when Patricia was seventeen. According to Joseph,
there was no bitterness; he and his wife had parted and remained friends. Joseph Krenwinkel,
an Inglewood, California insurance agent, recalled how in September of 1967 his daughter had
left her Manhattan Beach apartment, her job, her car, and her last paycheck to join Manson.
Mr. Krenwinkel described his daughter as an "exceedingly normal child, very obedient." Dorothy
said of her daughter, "She would rather hurt herself than harm any living thing."

assaulting a police officer. Thought new to the Family, he became one of its most hard-core
members. The "Honolulu Hamburger Case" was an attempted murder on Barbara Hoyt who
