Truer Crime

Show Notes

The Manson murders have been told and retold—but rarely like this. In this special bonus episode, Anthony DiMaria, nephew of victim Jay Sebring, reveals the story behind the headlines. Anthony shares what it’s like to grow up under the shadow of a crime that defined a generation, how the media erased Jay’s humanity, and why so much of what we “know” about the Manson Family is wrong. From his uncle’s groundbreaking influence on men’s style to the disturbing truths Anthony uncovered about the parole process, this is a story about family, justice, and fighting to reclaim the truth.
