All the cites I have seen/heard state Manson was with Nancy Pitman for sure. The killers didn't wipe their prints, and Atkins lost her knife, plus they didn't get a chance to hang Sharon and Jay. Parents' Rambler was clean as was the living room, but there were prints in other parts of the house Manson missed, including (as Bugliosi puts it), Krenwrinkel's death penalty fingerprint on a bedroom exterior door as she chased Folger and Folger tried to (and almost) escape.
There's also evidence Sharon's body was moved onto the front porch and stayed there for a bit: her blood pooled there, and the blood on her body was smeared, yet the killers said they never moved Sharon's body, nor did they tell Kasabian this.
It has also been stated that the Manhattan Frame glasses found in plain sight were a "joke" by Manson to confuse the "Pigs." Someone -- I THINK Tex or Clem, said they were used as a "magnifying glass" to start fires at Spahn's.
