During Fromme's junior high school years, she was a member of the Athenian Honor Society and the Girls Athletic Club. Her home life, however, was miserable. Her tyrannical father often berated her for minor things. In high school, Fromme became rebellious. She began drinking and taking drugs.
After barely graduating, she left home and moved in and out with different people. Her father put a halt to her gypsy lifestyle and insisted that she return home. She moved back and attended El Camino Junior College. In November 1972, James and Lauren Willett were found dead, and Squeaky and four others were arrested for the murders. After the other four confessed to the crime, Squeaky was released, and she moved to Sacramento. She and Manson family member Sandra Good moved in together and began the International People's Court of Retribution. This fictitious organization used to scare corporate executives into believing that they were on a large terrorist organization's hit list for polluting the environment.
