Here is the full story from our local newspaper (near Death Valley):

Here's the money quote:
"...one source, who asked not to be named for fear Manson and his family members would not speak to them again in the future, interviewed Manson in prison several years ago. The source asked Manson about the Barker Ranch, but before Manson could answer, his jail house lawyer cut him off, saying that Manson would not talk about any crimes that do not have statute of limitations, and could result in further indictments of people. According to Dostie and the source, in California there are only two crimes that do not have a statute of limitations: murder and embezzlement of public funds."
Well this is unexpected, isn’t it.
Why were they digging there? or did someone just happen to find remains?
