The murder of Sharon Tate and four others , which occurred on the previous night to the attack on the LaBianca home , was also linked with a music industry acquaintance of Manson who he associated with his failures to get a record contract . It was at the 10050 Cielo Drive former home of Terry Melcher , which by then was being rented by the husband of Sharon Tate . Manson had been rebuffed there while looking for Melcher , who had been initially interested in Manson 's music but lost interest after a trip to the Manson commune
