The granddaughter of Manson Family murder victims was herself found slain in her Denver apartment, according to a report revealing her name for the first time.

The Denver District Attorney’s office said Ariana Wolk, a 40-year-old single mother, was found “in a pool of blood in her bed” after she was stabbed repeatedly in the neck.

Wolk is the granddaughter of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, who were victims of the infamous Manson murders that shocked the nation 51 years ago. Her identity was not revealed until Wednesday by The Daily Mail.

Police charged Jose Sandoval-Romero, 24, after he allegedly confessed to the crime when he was caught four days after Wolk was found.

“During his interview with law enforcement, Sandoval-Romero admitted that he had stabbed Ms. Wolk, fled the scene, and discarded his bloody clothes before fleeing to Colorado Springs,” the district attorney’s office said in a statement.

An affidavit for his arrest says that Wolk had “several stab wounds to her neck and apparent defensive stab wounds to her arms and hands.”

So, what's the story here? I'm talking about the murder of Ariana. She was found on her bed with stab wounds. Was it a break-in or a tryst gone horribly wrong? Any article I've read covers more about Ariana's grandmother's murder decades ago than Ariana's own.

That's because it probably sells more stories, versus focusing on the current victim and granddaughter.
Absolutely heartbreaking for this family; they've already suffered more than most could imagine from the original brutal murders, now to only have to relive the old pain in addition to the terrible loss of another beloved family member in an equally horrifying murder.
 
Four days later, the district attorney said, a 24-year-old man was arrested in Colorado Springs. Investigators say video from the night of the murder showed the man standing with Wolk and holding a drink, and his fingerprints were found on a cup in Wolk’s yard. He has been charged with first-degree murder.
However, witnesses at the apartment complex reported seeing another male with Wolk the day she was killed, according to an arrest affidavit in the case.

One neighbor told police that around 4 p.m. or 5 p.m. that day she heard Wolk either fall or get pushed down a set of outdoor stairs and looked out to see a young male with black hair standing in the doorway and Wolk on the ground. The witness told police that Wolk needed help getting back to her apartment.

The same male later came to the neighbor’s apartment to ask whether she wanted to smoke marijuana and claimed that Wolk had been threatening to hurt herself, according to the affidavit. When the neighbor declined the offer to smoke weed, the male allegedly returned to Wolk’s apartment.

Several hours later—and just about 30 to 45 minutes before Wolk was discovered dead—a witness saw the male, shirtless, walking around the backyard of the apartment.

Wolk’s body was discovered after 9 p.m. by a friend who had been staying at her apartment to help her “battle her alcohol addiction,” the affidavit said. The friend reportedly told police that Wolk “would become intoxicated and invite random transients to come to the house.”
 
Has anyone ever been tenderly stabbed to death? What rape is gentle and considerate? Have there been any recorded instances of sensible violence (other than defense, of course), instead of the sensless violence invariably reported? And when is any assault not a hate crime, but a love crime?

Our whole lives are Orwellian clickbait. This really is Clown World.
