  1. leslie van hooten and patrica krenwinkle are the only ones i can think of.


  2. He had many.  However, if you are asking specifically about the Tate LaBianca murders then the answer would be Leslie Van Houten, Patricia Krenwinkle, Susan Atkins, Tex Watson (guy) and Linda Kasabian.  Most people forget Linda because she did a plea bargain for her testimony against Manson during the murder trials.  She never went to jail.

  3. Other women closely associated with Manson (aside from those mentioned above):

    Mary Brunner - was present at the murder of Gary Hinman, though by all accounts didn't participate in it. She later robbed a sporting goods store of rifles and was sent to prison for six years.

    Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme - later attempted to assassinate President Ford, although this was almost certainly on her own initiative and not under orders from Manson. Currently in prison for the attempt.

    Sandra Good - served ten years in prison for sending threatening letters to various corporate CEOs. Although almost all of the former Family members have denounced Manson, Good and Fromme are still loyal to him. Good could be considered the highest-ranking Manson family member not currently in prison.

    Ruth Ann "Ouisch" Morehouse - was implicated in the attempted murder of Barbara Hoyt but didn't end up standing trial. Current whereabouts unknown.

    Catherine "Gypsy" Share - served time in prison for the sporting goods robbery.

  4. Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel and Leslie Van Houten were the three women convicted along with him in the Tate/LaBianca murders.  Linda Kasabian was also involved in these murders but she was granted immunity in exchange for her testimony against the defendants.  Mary Brunner, another Family member, was involved in the Gary Hinman murder.  But, like Linda, she turned states evidence and got immunity for her testimony.
