Charles Manson is serving a life sentence for the murders of actress Sharon Tate and her house guests.  The mass execution at her Los Angeles residence took place on March 23, 1969, some forty years ago.

Manson has been serving his sentence at the Corcoran State Prison in California.  They were updating their database of inmate images and snapped a new one of Charlie, who is now 74 years old.

Check out details of his murderous past, including photos of Sharon Tate and her house guests here, and the excavation of the famed Barker Ranch, where more bodies are believed to be buried.
