Back in the 1960's a lot of kids went to California to join the hippie scene. Some of those kids never came back home. And since these were often young adults, there was little real effort to find these guys-and how many crossed Manson's path and died from either murder or overdoses? If the parents can at least find out what happened to their kids, that would be a relief even if there was no real way to get a prosecution.

Also, solving these cold cases also may finally put someone behind bars who should have been all along. Should someone get away with murder or have another chance to kill because it's been 40 years ago?
