This sounds like a Hollywood thriller movie, and even though this tale did
inspire filmmakers, the real-life story is far more unbelievable.
Jeffrey MacDonald was a true crime star of his time. He cemented his celebrity status in the 80s after a bestselling book Fatal Vision was published, followed by a movie of the same title, TV miniseries, and documentaries.
He told a horrifying story of how Charles Manson-style hippies had raided his home and brutally murdered his wife and two daughters.
However, Jeffrey is believed to have his family butchered and he later staged the crime scene to implicate a bloody Manson-like slaughter.
The question which is still up for debate, is whether was he a cold-blooded murderer or a victim of blood-thirsty hippies on acid?
The fact is, that the savage slaying of his wife and daughters left the nation horrified.
