susan atkins

Susan Denise Atkins was born on May 7, 1948 in San Gabriel, California, to a lower middle-class family. Her father was a construction worker and her mother took various odd jobs (such as doing surveys over the telephone) to help support Susan and her two brothers. When Susan was still very young, the family moved to northern California, living in San Francisco suburb of Millbrae, and, after that, San Jose.
