Manson family murders

This page had a trivia-section reference to someone else named Bruce Davis who was involved in the Manson family murders. The actions of someone else with the same name are of no relevance to this page and so were removed (6/19/2016).— Preceding unsigned comment added by Byamrcn (talk • contribs) 21:46, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
