  • Mini-Episode #3 - The Key to the MacDonald Murders is Sitting in a Government Evidence Locker, Untested
    Mar 22 2023

    In our third mini-episode, we discuss a hitherto neglected piece of evidence relating to the MacDonald murders, which a 2018 4th Circuit Court of Appeals decision claimed had been tested. We checked with the US Attorneys in North Carolina: it hasn't been. This piece of evidence remains in the possession of the United States government. Testing it could solve the MacDonald murders, once and for all.

  • Episode 9: Honeycutt & North Lucas
    Mar 7 2023

    Among the military policemen who arrived at 544 Castle Drive on the morning of the MacDonald murders was Specialist Kenneth Mica. Mica was the MP who first approached a prone Jeffrey MacDonald, who was lying next to his wife, Colette, on the floor of the master bedroom. Mica shook MacDonald awake and then asked him: "What happened here?"

    MacDonald proceeded to give a description of the intruders who had allegedly broken into the apartment and attacked his family. Among these intruders was a woman in a floppy hat. As it happened, Mica and his partner had, en route to 544 Castle Drive only minutes earlier, driven past a woman in a wide-brimmed hat on the corner of Honeycutt and North Lucas, a half-mile from the MacDonalds' residence.

    What were the chances? We explore this question and others in Episode 9.

  • Episode 8: The Historical Lens
    Feb 28 2023

    As we concluded in the last episode, legally speaking, Jeffrey MacDonald should not be in prison. One cannot honestly examine the government’s case against MacDonald and maintain that it proved his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. That simply isn’t true.

    Having acknowledged that, however, we need also to acknowledge the obvious. In many cases where all but one occupant of a home is murdered, the lone survivor is the murderer –– something the murderer will typically deny. It is a disturbing fact about us humans. The threats that haunt our imaginations come from afar. But the ones that actually materialize often do so under our noses. Many victims of violence are attacked by people they know. Many victims of rape are assaulted by people they know. And many murder victims take their last breath staring at the back, or into the spiteful eyes, of someone they know. The serpent that doomed Eden did not have to breach its walls; it arose from within.

    So if we knew nothing else about the MacDonald murders, the fact that Jeffrey MacDonald survived them would place him near the top of our list of suspects. Well, what else do we know?

  • Episode 6: At Least Senile
    Feb 14 2023

    We spent the last few episodes delving into the Grand Jury proceedings of 1974-75, which terminated in the indictment of Jeffrey MacDonald for the murders of his wife and two daughters five years earlier. More than any other, Joe McGinniss’s account of the Grand Jury, in his 1983 book Fatal Vision, shaped the popular perception of it. But in re-examining MacDonald’s testimony before the Grand Jury, we found reasons to doubt McGinniss’s version of events.

    Setting aside, for the moment, the evidence against MacDonald, the Grand Jury documents show us a man at the mercy of a motley parade of dubious psychiatric and forensic experts, all marching to the erratic beat of an unscrupulous government prosecutor named Victor Woerheide. In McGinniss’s telling, MacDonald’s angry declaration that the entire proceeding was “bullshit” was just one more sign of his overweening arrogance and sense of entitlement. In the real world, that one-word description was apt.

    But it didn’t matter. In January 1975, the Grand Jury indicted MacDonald. He spent the next few years pursuing his flourishing medical career back in Southern California while his lawyers advanced his appeals in the courts. MacDonald thus breathed a sigh of relief when, in January 1976, while vacationing in Maui with his girlfriend, he learned from his lawyer, Bernie Segal, that the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals had vacated the Grand Jury’s indictment. The indictment had, the court found, violated MacDonald’s right to a speedy trial.

    The Justice Department appealed this decision, and the case ultimately landed in the lap of the Supreme Court, which, in May 1978, unanimously overturned the speedy trial finding. Two months earlier, the Court had refused to review MacDonald’s contention that, since a military court had already cleared him back in 1970, putting him before a civilian court would amount to double jeopardy.

    His appeals having run out of road, MacDonald was back on the hook. His case was going to trial.
