Revealed: Tex Watson's Glendale Blvd. Address

In his book, Will You Die For Me? The Man Who Killed For Charles Manson Tells His Own Story, Charles "Tex" Watson describes the first apartment in California that he moved into in 1967, as being in the Silverlake district of Los Angeles, on what he called an "ugly, busy street". The late Bill Nelson, speculated in his book, Tex Watson: The Man, the Madness, the Manipulator, That the street might have been Glendale Boulevard and as it turns out, he was actually correct.


As seen above, buried in an article in the December 5, 1969 edition of the LA Times, the address, 2365 Glendale Blvd., was revealed by "Jay Scott", who is actually the brother of David Lynn Neale, Watson's friend from college and then future roommate/Marijuana dealing business partner. Jay, who used Scott as a stage name, also lived with at some point. Watson gives him the name "Willis" in his book and "Ben Brooks" as his stage name. 

Nelson and another researcher, the late Judy Hanson who claimed he stole most of his research from, also believed that Watson might have lived at 2024 Dracena Drive, also in the Silverlake district of Los Angeles. This apartment, was 200' feet from the apartment of Rosemary LaBianca's daughter Suzan Struthers/Suzan LaBerge at 4616 Greenwood Place. As most people who have followed this Ouroboros that is this case, the born again Christian LaBerge, championed for Watson's parole. ONLY Watson's parole.

The problem is, Nelson and Hanson's evidence for this was flimsy. Apparently this address was found on a truck that was supposedly found in Watson's pad at 8584 Wonderland Avenue that he lived at in 1968. That's right, Watson was wheelin' and dealin' dope on Wonderland long before the four on the floor.

It has never been proven that Watson ever lived at the Dracena address. In fact, throughout my research of the case, it simply doesn't fit anywhere in his timeline. Watson never lived at that address and this falsehood was believed by many, myself included for a time. BUT.....

His 1967 apartment on Glendale Blvd. was just a few doors down from a condo Leno LaBianca owned at 2279 Glendale Blvd.



Coinsidence? Or something more sinister?

  1. I go back and forth on Suzan's involvement. Her behavior the night they found the bodies was weird and certainly afterwards even more sinister. But I think the apartment issue is probably a coincidence. Tex lived in a lot of places and crashed everywhere for almost 2 years.

  2. Roxie Lucerelli was an LAPD officer who responded to the Waverly crime scene. Also a life long friend of Leno. So was he moonlighting as a real estate guy?
