Freaky Friday...

[Robin Carlton]

... don't worry, this is not a new feature we're doing around here or anything, I just it was kind of a fitting title so I went with it.

Ok so... growing up I have this memory of my mom telling me that I was named after one of her best friends who was taken by the Manson family before I was born. I remember her saying she was murdered / went missing without a trace, etc.

No movie I've ever watched on the Manson happenings mentions her name, at least none that I've seen, so in adulthood, I kinda thought maybe I was imagining hearing this story from my mom.

And then this morning on Reddit, I saw this post in UnresolvedMysteries...

So I'm not crazy, this is totally my mom's friend who she told me about when I was kid and whom I am named after and the story does indeed mention a member of the Manson "family".

Wild and kinda "freaky" discovery after all these years, don't ya think?
