Episode 41: The MacDonald Murders (Part 1)
This is a two part case on the murders of Colette, Kimberly, and Kristen MacDonald.
They should have had it all and for a time it seemed they did. Jeffrey MacDonald was a surgeon and a green beret. Colette MacDonald was his beautiful, doting wife, pregnant with their son. They had had two lovely daughters, Kimberly and Kristin. The life before them was luminous.
It was all shattered on a cool rainy night on February 17th, 1970 when the lives of a young mother and her two daughters were brutally taken.
