Summary
On February 17th, 1970, the military police at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, responded to a distressed call from Army surgeon Jeffrey MacDonald. Officers entered his home and found Jeffrey’s wife and two daughters dead. MacDonald claimed they had been attacked by a group of “hippies,” but ultimately, he was the one who was arrested and convicted of murder.
Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Jeffrey MacDonald. This is a case that divides people, with some believing Jeffrey is not guilty of murdering his wife and children. A woman who matched the description MacDonald gave admitted to numerous people she was at the crime scene. But there is a lot that points to his guilt as well. MacDonald has spent decades fighting his conviction, but he remains in prison.
