Thought Process Of A Psychopath
Jeffrey MacDonald stated he did not turn on the bedroom lights nor did he go to the neighbor's residence for help. The following is an exchange between William Ivory and Jeffrey MacDonald during a CID interview on April 6, 1970:
MacDonald: Well, I don't know — well, I really don't know if I checked the femorals on both sides of the kids, quite honestly. I probably checked here (pointing to the throat) and picked up their wrist and possibly checked the femoral, but I'm not sure. So, then I was standing in the middle — middle of the hallway after this kind of second trip, and I didn't know what to do. I kept saying to myself, you know, "What — what comes now?" And I remember I — it flashed through my mind to go next door to my idiot neighbor, but I realized that would be futile and —
Ivory: Why was that?
MacDonald: Well, our neighbors are — she's the kind of lady that sits in her window with binoculars and watches the girl across the street undress and stuff like that, you know. And she comes over and she says, "Now, don't leave your windows open because there's a lot of rapists and people around here." We were at a cocktail party one night, and — and she said that and everyone stopped. And I said to her — so I was kind of pulling her chain. So I said, "Well, how — how do you know that — that people look in windows?" I mean — you know, you see types of people and right away this woman had — so, she said, "Well, ‘cause I see her every night. The blonde across the street." And I say, "How do you see her every night?" She said, "I go in my window and watch." And I said, "Why do you do that?" And she said, I swear to God, she said, "Because," you know, "it's unatural for a girl to undress with the blinds up. And I just want to." — you know, "I just want to make sure I know what's going on in the neighborhood." But that's beside the point. So that's the type of person that — that, you know, I just — I said, "Shall I go next door or should I try to call again?" And I decided I should try to call again.
Four months later at the Article 32 hearing, MacDonald was asked why he didn't seek assistance from neighbors and he replied, "I didn't know them that well."
