BURLINGTON, VT, Dec. 7 – Sandra Good, a follower of Charles Manson, was placed in a private residence in Burlington when she was released on parole this week, the U.S. Secret Service confirmed Friday.

Special Agent William Corbett said the service had an interest in the parole because of Good’s connection with Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme who is serving a life sentence for the attempted murder of President Gerald R. Ford.

Fromme, another Manson follower, and Good had been working as groundskeepers at the Federal Correctional Center for Women in Alderson, W.Va.

Until Corbett’s confirmation, no law enforcement official would say in what town Good was living.

Corbett said the Secret Service, which is responsible for the protection of major federal officials and visiting foreign dignitaries when they are traveling in the country, “usually notifies the local and state police” about federal parolees released to their jurisdiction.

It was standard procedure when both Burlington police and state police were notified Wednesday that Good was in Burlington, Corbett said.

Good served nearly 10 years of a 15-year sentence for conspiring to send death threats to corporate officials, whom she accused of “polluting the earth.”

Good showed her devotion to Manson by notching an X between her eyebrows.

Manson is serving a life sentence for the 1969 ritual killings of actress Sharon Tate, grocery store chain owner Leno LaBianca and seven others.

Good, 41 was not involved in the murders.

State Public Safety Commissioner Charles Bristow said the notification to state police was “coincidental” — that it came about the same time as the governor’s office got confirmation from parole officials. Bristow said he also notified Burlington police, but Burke said he had been notified first.

Gov. Madeleine M. Kunin asked for a full investigation after a Free Press reporter Tuesday evening asked questions about Good’s placement in Vermont.

Kunin said she was bothered that the U.S Parole Commission could place a parolee in a state without notifying state or local authorities.

Kunin said she has “firmly communicated” to federal parole officials that “We must regularly be assured that the conditions of the parole are enforced.”
