Patricia Dianne Krenwinkel was born in CA on December 3, 1947.
She was over weight as a child and introduced herself to amphetamines for weight loss, beginning her drug habits. Her parents divorced when she was a teen. Her father stayed in CA while her mother went to live in Alabama. Pat bounced back and forth from her mother's home to her father's home and eventually took off to roam around CA when she was 15 years old. At age 20 she met Charlie and the girls. She grooved quickly in with the Family and her job with them was Nanny. But she quickly moved on to murderer. After the Spahn Ranch raid in October of 1969, her father bailed her out and she returned to Alabama to live with her mother and aunt Garnet Reeves. Interestingly enough Katie used as one of her aliases the last name Reeves. Why did all the Family members do that? Use their mother's maiden names and or some type of family related name for their aliases? She is currently incaarcerated at the California Institute for Women.

I'm thinking that Kenny Rogers's song "'Through the Years" is appropriate playing for this stroll down memory lane with Katie.

ReplyDeleteI don't know why but the question reminds me of something I read. One of the symptoms of a certain mental illness disorder was "uses aliases". I forget which illness that was a symptom for.
AND- when i was using various aliases, it was never a family name i used, well until recently for my fake FaceBook.
ReplyDeleteMr Poirot- interesting. i always just thought it went along with criminals trying to slip one thru.
ReplyDeleteback in the day i myself used a various amount of aliases, but just for fun, and just because i didnt care for my "given name".
which just got me thinking-
maybe just MAYBE, ShittyKitty, Monkeyboy and The Col were correct when the referered to me as "mentally unstable, a loon" and the various other mentally unstable things they have called me. i mean, if using aliases is a
mental illness sign, call me CRAZY!
that just saved me a fortune in future psychiatric bills!!!
all those years of being miss diagnosed!!!
I heard she was also a chemical engineer with Watson, Atkins and Davis. Distributing only the finest methaphetamine.
