Reid Carter concludes Labor Day Family Massacre with the Fort Bragg murders that divided America for 50 years. Jeffrey MacDonald, Princeton-educated Green Beret doctor, claimed four hippie intruders stabbed his pregnant wife Colette and daughters Kimberley (5) and Kristen (2) while chanting "acid is groovy, kill the pigs." But his wounds were superficial, the crime scene was staged, and his story kept changing. From the Army's initial clearance to his conviction nine years later, from Joe McGinniss's betrayal to MacDonald's prison marriage, this is how a man trained to save lives used that knowledge to end them.
