Fort Worth, Texas ? Three decades after basking in the national spotlight as “Squeaky,” the infamous Charles Manson disciple who tried to assassinate President Gerald Ford, the now 60-year-old woman slipped quietly out of a federal prison Friday after being released on parole.

Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme eluded the media as she left Fort Worth’s Federal Medical Center Carswell Friday morning. She previously refused interview requests, and prison officials would not say where she planned to live or what she planned to do after more than 30 years behind bars.

It was a far cry from her antics that captivated the nation’s attention in the 1970s: shaving her hair and carving an “X” into her forehead after Manson was convicted for orchestrating a mass murder, wearing a red robe when she pulled a gun on Ford, and being carried into her trial by marshals when she refused to walk.

In September 1975, Fromme pushed through a crowd, drew a semiautomatic .45-caliber pistol from a thigh holster and pointed it at Ford in Sacramento. Secret Service agents grabbed her and the gun, and Ford was unhurt.
