Atkins later claimed to have believed Manson was Jesus. She was nicknamed "Sadie Mae Glutz" by Manson and a man who was creating a fake ID for her at the time.
When the house was raided several weeks later by the police and Atkins was left homeless, Manson invited her to join his group, who were embarking on a summer road trip in a converted school bus painted completely black. In 1967, Atkins met Charles Manson when he played guitar at the house where she was living with several friends. During this time, she lived with various relatives. Atkins had been an average student in Leigh High School in San Jose, but her grades deteriorated when she entered Los Banos High School. Susan took a job during her junior year in school to support herself and Steven. When he found work on the San Luis Dam construction project, Edward left the two children behind to fend for themselves.
After Jeanette Atkins' death, relatives were asked to help look after Susan and her two brothers.Įdward Atkins eventually moved to Los Banos, California, with Susan and her younger brother Steven. Two weeks before her mother was hospitalized for the final time, Susan arranged for members of the church choir to sing Christmas carols under her bedroom window. She was described by those who knew her as a quiet, self-conscious girl who belonged to her school's glee club and the local church choir. Until she was 13 years old Atkins and her family lived in a middle-class home in the Cambrian Park area of San Jose, California. Over the next three years, Susan's life was disrupted by the gradual breakup of her family, frequent relocations, and her leaving home to live independently.
According to her, both her parents, Edward John and Jeanette, were alcoholics. Born in San Gabriel, California, the second of three children, Susan Atkins grew up in northern California.
