Who was Leno and Rosemary LaBianca?

Pasqualino Antonio "Leno" LaBianca and Rosemary LaBianca, husband and wife, were victims of the Manson Family murders.

Leno was a grocery store owner, and Rosemary was also a successful businesswoman. They lived in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Los Feliz. On August 9, 1969, they had vacationed for the day at Lake Isabella, and returned home the night following the Sharon Tate murders. They were last seen alive when they stopped on their way home to buy fuel. Rosemary also bought a newspaper, its front page detailing the murders on Cielo Drive at Roman Polanski's Beverly Hills Post Office residence in Los Angeles. The attendant testified later that Rosemary particularly had been very concerned and anxious as she read about the murders and briefly discussed this with the attendant.

The following night, on August 10, 1969, Rosemary's 15-year-old son Frank Struthers became concerned when neither his mother nor step father answered the door. After contacting his older sister Suzanne Struthers and her boyfriend, the three, upon arriving at the home, became further worried by the fact that Leno's boat was parked on the street instead of the driveway.
