In the Hinman murder and events leading up to it, Manson cut Hinman's face/ear with what is described as a sword or bayonet.
I thought I read that DeCarlo turned this over to the police at some point.
Does anyone know exactly what this sword or bayonet was? Ex. M-1 Carbine Bayonet?
After cutting Hinman, did Manson leave this sword/bayonet with Bobbie? Is this the weapon that Bobbie killed Hinman with?
