Hard Times and True Crimes

49. The MacDonald Family Murders Pt. 2


Listen Later

In early 1970 Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald is awakened by the screams of his wife and daughters being attacked.  He claims a group of drugged-up hippies were the intruders, but authorities quickly begin to question that claim. This conclusion to the MacDonald family murders delves into the alternative theories put forth by the defense and ends with where the convicted murderer is today.
