Police recall discovering a horrific scene after a distressed father alerted emergency services, with the blood of two children and a pregnant woman all over the bedrooms of the family home.
Jeffrey MacDonald, the father and husband, regaled US military cops with a story about how his home had been broken into and subject to a sick Charles Manson-esque hippy attack.
The word “Pig” had been scrawled on the bedroom wall of the room and the three victims were found to have been bludgeoned and stabbed 30 times between them.
