Sorry, I can't agree on Misty being like one of the Manson girls. The gals Manson sought out were mainly from fairly solid backgrounds with an education. However, they were ready to drop out of society. All they needed was a leader and Manson filled at role. Manson went through hundreds of young women before he could find the ones he could mold into the thiefs and murders he selected.
I see Misty as being a stubborn child. And with a low IQ to boot. She is the perfect example of a young girl who never was given any guidence. No one took the time to raise her with morals or ideals. What she's learned in life, she's mainly learned on her own, being lucky to survive. She's also an accomplished liar.
I think Charles Manson would not have tried to recruit a girl like Misty.
