One member of this group went on to found the Death Valley Chamber of Commerce. Their targets included a man who was trying to sell a used radio, Steven Parent; the heir to the Folger Coffee fortune; and hair stylist Jay Sebring. A different member of this group was, along with Sarah Jane Moore, one of two women who attempted to (*) assassinate Gerald Ford in 1975. This group was exposed when Susan Atkins bragged about their killings to another inmate and was put on trial in a 1970 spectacle which included Lynette Fromme protesting outside the courthouse with swastikas carved into her forehead.
