    The victims were Steven Ford, Abigail Folger, Voytek Frykowski, Jay Sebring, and last but not least Sharon Tate herself. The night after, the victims were Leno and Rosemary LaBianca. This happened in August of 1969.

    In response to Scarlettqueen03's answer, two of the victims' names are wrong. Frykowski's name is Wojciech Frykowski, and Steven's name is Steve Parent.

    Donald "Shorty" Shea

    Charlie (Manson) blamed the arrests on Spahn's ranch hand Donald "Shorty" Shea for snitching on the family. It was no secret that Shorty wanted the family off the ranch. Manson decided it was time for the family to move to Barker Ranch near Death Valley, but before leaving, Manson, Bruce Davis, Tex Watson and Steve Grogan killed Shorty and buried his body behind the ranch.
    http://crime.about.com/od/murder/p/charliemanson3.htm

    Bruce Davis, who was Charles Manson's chief lieutenant, committed the murders (of Donald "Shorty" Shea and Gary Hinman) as part of a month-long killing spree by the Manson Family in the summer of 1969 in southern California. These were not related to the Sharon Tate and Rosemary LaBianca murders of Aug. 9 and 10, 1969. Hinman was killed before, and Shea was killed after, the Tate/LaBianca murders.

    Donald "Shorty" Shea was 36 years old when he was brutally tortured and killed by Davis, Manson and other Family members. Shea was a hired ranch hand at Spahn Ranch, where the Family lived. He was not a Family member.

    Shea "disappeared" in late August 1969, but his corpse went undiscovered until 1979, when another Family member, Steve "Clem" Grogan, seeking parole for the murder of Shea, agreed to tell authorities where the body was. Shea's remains were found and Grogan was paroled in 1986. To date, Grogan is the only Manson Family member convicted of murder to have been paroled.

    According to one of the prosecutors, the murder of Shorty Shea was only the third "no body" murder case to be prosecuted in the United States.
