there were also imprints of his and Collette’s pajamas on the sheet found in the master bedroom, along with the imprint of MacDonald’s shoulder, in blood, on that sheet, suggesting he had carried his wife in those sheets. But threads from the top were found underneath Collette’s body, near where PIG was written on the headboard, on and under Kimberly’s bedding, and in Kristen’s room, suggesting he had not first put his pajama top on Collette once he first found her body. He claimed to have placed his pajama top on Collette when he first found her. This is what probably incriminated him most because her blood type was found to have stained MacDonalds pajama top before it was torn in the earliest part of their confrontation in the master bedroom. Then he went back to Collette and inflicted the ice pick wounds on her chest. He then carried Collette back to the master bedroom, and coldly returned to stab Kristen to death. MacDonald probably followed Collette into Kristen’s room where he continued to batter Collette with the wood club, breaking both of her arms, defense wounds.

He was sentenced to life sentences for each victim to be served consecutively.
Jeffrey was convicted of first degree murder for the death of Kristen, second degree murder for Colette, and second degree murder for Kimberly. He then wrapped Colette’s body in a sheet to drag back to the master bedroom but left a footprint smudge of Colette’s blood outside Kristen’s room as he dragged his wife’s body. Jeffrey then went to Kristen’s room to kill her, though Colette had regained consciousness and threw herself on the toddler to shield her (Colette’s blood was found on the wall and bed) but Jeffrey stabbed both to death. Jeffrey carried her body, either mortally wounded or dead, to her bed and stabbed her in the neck.
Kimberly’s head serum was discovered on the door frame if the master bedroom leading to the suspicion she had come to see what the commotion was about and may have been struck in the head intentionally or accidentally. From Jeffery’s concussion and bruising, it is thought Colette may have struck him causing Jeffrey to retaliate by hitting her with his fists and a piece of lumber. They theorized an argument erupted in the master bedroom, possibly when Jeffrey became angry his side of the bed had been wet by Kristen. He also stated he was rendered unconscious in the attack.įorensic evidence, documented by the rare occurrence that all members of the household had different blood types making a timeline if events fairly easy to follow, gave investigators a theory of the events leading to the family’s murder. He awoke to “hippies,” 2 white men, 1 black man, and 1 white woman, chanting “acid is groovy, kill the pigs” while lighting candles. When questioned, he claimed he had fallen asleep on the couch after Kristen had wet his side of the bed during the night. Jeffrey MacDonald, a doctor and green beret, claimed he managed to survive the attack: he had a small, clean cut, a partially collapsed lung, and some bruises. Kristen (2) was also found in her own bed and had been stabbed 33 times with a knife and 15 with an ice pick. Kimberly (5) was found in her bed, clubbed in the head and stabbed 8-10 times in the neck evidence showed she was injured or killed elsewhere before her bloodied body was placed in her bed and her pink security blanket placed in her arms. She was clubbed so severely her arms were broken, and had been stabbed 21 times with an ice pick and 16 with a knife.
