Jeffrey MacDonald graduated from medical school in 1968. He joined an internship program for thoracic surgery the same year. He recalled this time as being very stressful, and as being exhausted and mentally drained. He was commissioned in the US Army in 1969, where he applied to become a Special Forces doctor. In the wee hours of February 17th, 1970, he called the military police to report a stabbing in his home. This case took a turn, which I won't spoil here for those who haven't heard of the case. This whole case was wild.

This case is featured on The Last Podcast on the Left for those who follow that reading list. It was also featured on an Unsolved Mysteries special. The book was decent and outlined the case and investigation well.
