In the pre-dawn hours of February 17, 1970, military police on the Fort Bragg army base, in North Carolina, received a panicked phone call from a man identifying himself as Cpt. Jeffrey MacDonald. Struggling to get the words out, MacDonald haltingly and breathlessly repeated his address –– 544 Castle Drive –– along with the word “stabbed.” When the MPs arrived at 544 Castle Drive minutes later, they encountered a scene of staggering brutality. MacDonald’s wife and two young daughters had been hacked and beaten to death in their respective bedrooms, there was blood on the walls and ceiling of the apartment, and someone had written the word “PiG,” in blood, on the headboard of the bed in the master bedroom. On seeing that word, “PiG,” military investigators all had the same thought: “PiG” is what had been written in blood on Sharon Tate’s front door six months earlier, after the Manson Family had slaughtered Tate and her houseguests on Cielo Drive, in Los Angeles. Had the Manson Family come to North Carolina?

If Jeffrey MacDonald was to be believed, perhaps they had. MacDonald told investigators that a group of at least three men and one woman had broken into the apartment and attacked him and his family. Although these assailants had stabbed and beaten MacDonald, leaving him with a partially collapsed lung, they had left him alive after knocking him unconscious.

Was the story MacDonald told investigators true? How should we go about answering that question? Follow us through the door of these questions and into the wild world of the Jeffrey MacDonald case, where things are not always as they seem. Welcome to The Looking Glass.
