Merged Jeffrey MacDonald did it. He really did.

Not open for further replies.
No Corroborative Data

The interviews provided by Greg Mitchell to the CID and FBI were voluntary and cohesive in that he denied any involvement in the murders. His denials were bolstered by the following FACTS.

1) Mitchell's print exemplars did not match any of the exemplars found at the crime scene.

2) Mitchell's head hair exemplars did not match any of the exemplars found at the crime scene.

3) Mitchell passed a polygraph exam administered by CID Hall of Famer Robert Brisentine.

All of the alleged confessions from Mitchell were put forth AFTER his death. Evan Hughes and other MacDonald advocates conveniently leave out the fact that when he was alive, Mitchell NEVER implicated himself to law enforcement. The final nail in the Mitchell Did It coffin was the FACT that not one of the 29 DNA exhibits matched Mitchell's DNA profile. Sans Stoeckley, Mitchell has become the biggest red herring in this case.

That's a load of bollocks from JTF. Murderers often officially categorically deny they were involved, and often there are no forensics like DNA or fingerprints. A real murder investigator would have tried to dig up facts about Mitchell and Mazerolle, and the Stoeckley crowd, instead of just disregarding them. The mainstream media just ignored any Stoeckley or Mitchell confessions. Mitchell was left-handed for a start, like some of the killers in the MacDonald murders.

This is part of what Errol Morris has said about the MacDonald case confessions in the past and it's true:

Warren Rock, an Army colonel who led the first inquiry into the killings, concluded in 1970 that MacDonald was innocent.

Yes, and there were two parts to Colonel Rock's recommendation. One was that the charges be dismissed. The second part was that Helena Stoeckley should be thoroughly investigated.

Were his wishes followed?

Helena Stoeckley was investigated, but it wasn't for the purpose of finding out what she knew -- it was solely to discredit her. If you want to make a case against Jeffrey MacDonald, Helena represents a fly in the ointment. Instead of being able to tie a neat bow around the case and say, Case closed, you have this woman who confesses again and again.

This is from People Magazine about Greg Mitchell in 2017:

Greg Mitchell, too, repeatedly confessed up until his death in June 1982. Ann Sutton Cannady, who ran a rehab facility for drug addicts in Fayetteville in 1971, said Mitchell was briefly a patient there. Sutton*claimed she saw Mitchell running out of a farmhouse owned by the rehab facility, on which the words,*“I killed MacDonald’s wife and children,” were written on a wall in red paint.

Long after MacDonald’s 1979 conviction, three of Mitchell’s friends contacted Kathryn MacDonald saying he had confessed to them as well. Those three people gave affidavits that are now part of MacDonald’s*appeal.

This is what Bryant Lane wrote about Greg Mitchell, but there is some controversy now about whether the Lanes have changed their mind or are keeping their mouths shut:

I knew Don Mills, Gregory Mitchell’s partner at M&M
Electric. Don Mills died of cancer over ten years ago at about
age 50, in the Charlotte area. Don Mills told me that Gregory
Mitchell had confessed to his involvement in the MacDonald
murders on many occasions. Don Mills told me that he [Mills]
didn’t see any reason to “drag all that up now”.

6. I recall Don Mills being interviewed by Ted Landreth
for a BBC documentary on the MacDonald case. Don Mills told me
he should have said more to Mr. Landreth about Gregory Mitchell,
but that Mills felt “faithful to Greg”.

7. During the period 1980-81, Gregory Mitchell stated to
me that he “personally knew MacDonald is innocent, because I was
the one that killed the MacDonald family.” I did not tell
anyone at the time because Mitchell asked me to keep this a
secret so that he could try to get his life together. I
promised not to say anything. Later, I became troubled about
what Greg had told me and came forward.

8. Approximately six months before Greg Mitchell’s death
in 1982, he told me that in February, 1970, he was addicted to
heroin and that “MacDonald could have helped him”. Mitchell
thought MacDonald knew an intermediary who could supply Mitchell
with methadone, in order to kick hard drugs. Mitchell stated to
me that he and his friends went to the MacDonald home on
February 17, 1970 to “teach him a lesson” and intended to “whup
‘em”. Mitchell told me he was high on at least four drugs:
Mescaline, angel dust, PCP and one other) and said that “things
got bad” and that “you don’t realize what you’re doing” when you
are so high on drugs. Mitchell told me that Jeff MacDonald
being alive was simply “lucky” because the group “didn’t know
what they were doing” and “didn’t mean to kill anyone”.

9. Gregory Mitchell told me that he had tried to turn
himself in on numerous occasions, and had confessed to a
professor at a school he was attending, and a Fayetteville
private investigator. I cannot recall the names of the
professor or the investigator

10. Gregory Mitchell stated to me that he killed Jeffrey
MacDonald’s family. His words were “We killed them”. Mitchell
became aware that he had killed the family, and Jeffrey
MacDonald was found alive, after the murders were committed. I
am not certain of the date of these final admissions, but
believe it was about two weeks before his death. I do know that
Gregory Mitchell was aware that he was dying at the time he made
the above statements. I told Greg that the doctor thought he
might be able to stay alive for at least six more months if he
would stop drinking. He stated to me that he could not quit
drinking because of his guilt over the murders he had committed.

11. I have been contacted by the FBI and questioned by
them previously. I offered to take any test they had to show
that I am telling the truth about Gregory Mitchell’s
confessions, but they weren’t interested in these statements. I
was interviewed in by FBI Special Agent Brandon Battle on May
25, 1984.

12. I have given previous signed statements to the
defense, via investigator Raymond Shedlick, dating back to the
mid-1980’s.

13. I am convinced that Gregory Mitchell’s statements to
me were truthful. I have heard of men going to their graves
without confessing to something they did, but I never heard of
one making a point of confessing that they did something they
actually didn’t do.

I still think it's suspicious that Helena Stoeckley and Greg Mitchell died suddenly at about the same time, after the MacDonald trial. I appreciate that their health was not good. How convenient for Murtagh and the FBI and Judge Dupree and Judge Fox! Helena died soon after appearing on TV with Detective Beasley to say she was going to blow the lid off of Fort Bragg. Greg Mitchell died soon after writing that he had been interviewed by the SBI, the state bureau of investigation, and he was badly scared, and he was trying to get out of the country. He was not keeping his mouth shut.

This is another Greg Mitchell confession that surfaced at that 2012 evidentiary hearing:

In September 2012, after reading about an evidentiary hearing in MacDonald’s case in The Charlotte Observer, local couple John and Chris Griffin came forward with a similar tale of an alcohol-fueled, tear-filled confession from*Mitchell, who was doing some electrical work in their Lake Wylie, North Carolina home in 1980 or 1981.
“He said, ‘You read about Jeffrey MacDonald? I’m the one. It was me. I killed them. Oh those children,’ ” says John, who says Mitchell was full of remorse. “He said he’d done something so horrible God wouldn’t forgive him.”
Adds Chris: “It scared us half to death. He just had wild eyes.”

Happy Anniversary Dirtbag

Yesterday marked the anniversary of inmate's return to prison. Inmate has now served 36 years in prison for his cowardly act. Kudos to the CID, FBI, DOJ, and Freddy Kassab for bringing forth justice in this case.

Hearsay is not your friend henrudge, and a notarized statement only means that the individual appearing before the notary is properly identified. The veracity of whatever is in the document is to be determined and none of the hearsay and opinion in that document constitutes anything more than opinion.

Mitchell had all the credibility that you currently have.

Mitchell > Credibility Than You Know Who

BStrong: I would argue that Greg Mitchell had far more credibility than you know who. Mitchell cooperated fully with the CID/FBI, he denied being involved in this brutal crime, and his denials were backed by evidentiary analysis/polygraph exam. Compare that to the landlord of MacFantasy Island whose main role is to operate the trolling roller coaster.

Freddy Kassab was not reliable. Kassab stuck up for Jeff MacDonald to start with until Kearns of the Army CID told him that MacDonald had been seeing other women after the murders. Kassab got nasty after he was told by Jeff MacDonald that Jeff MacDonald intended to move to California after the murders. Kassab then cooperated with that drunken Irish son of a bitch, the fraudster Joe McGinniss. Kassab's wife, Colette's mother, perjured herself as a matter of course in court.

The FBI is lacking in professional criminal investigators and it needs to up its game. There has been most severe criticism of the FBI lab in the past but nothing has been done about it. The motto of the CIA is to deny everything and to admit nothing and to counter accuse by blaming the Russian for everything. Because there is nothing now which is private and confidential the CIA tries to imprison hackers and whistle blowers, and to support Al Qaeda affiliates and groups.

Murtagh of the DOJ is a trickster lawyer who has come in for criticism for his weak evidence in the Lockerbie case.

The judges were, and are, in bed with the prosecution and they don't see it as their job to release innocent people from prison.

I stand corrected.

If you hooked hendrudge up to a polygraph, the machine would scream and run out of the room.

There are people who disagree with JTF about Helena Stoeckley's reliability. You must remember that Greg Mitchell also confessed along similar lines, but his confessions were disregarded in the same way. You don't disregard leads and suspects in a murder investigation unless you are a bent cop, or a rookie detective.
Click to expand...

The only "people" who disagree with JTF are you and your many personalities and perhaps cleo. Greg Mitchell said "he did something bad while in the Army" that is not at all the same as what Helena said.

Helena confessed and recanted and confessed and recanted and confessed and recanted etc. You don't make yourself reliable just because you tell stories and include yourself in a crime. Her confessions DID NOT MATCH THE EVIDENCE NOR DID IT MATCH INMATE'S STORY ERGO NOT VALID.

No leads were ignored every single lead was followed up and thoroughly investigated. Just because YOU don't like the results does not mean the investigation didn't occur.

IF you want to believe a Helena story then why not believe the one where she claimed she and inmate were sexually involved and she WATCHED HIM kill his family?
 
poor henri....

Bryant Lane DOES NOT BELIEVE that inmate is innocent. He has told cleo that she is not to contact him any more.....I am fairly certain that he believes she manipulated him into "beefing up" his original statement........

I KNOW for a fact that Norma Lane does not believe inmate to be innocent, I KNOW for a fact that she emailed cleo asking for a status of the case some years ago and after waiting many many many months with still no answer she began researching for herself. She found tjmis and various discussion boards and began educating herself with the FACTS. Until that time she and Bryant had believed the information as provided to them by the defense. I KNOW she was surprised to find out how much misrepresentation, cut and paste, and outright lies had been given to her and Bryant. There is no mystery to it, once they learned the FACTS they were no longer willing to bolster inmate's tales -- even though as far as I remember all they ever stated a quote from GM was that he had done something bad while he was in the Army.....during the Vietnam era that is just as likely to be something very unpleasant done "in country" not stateside.

henrudge reminds me of a guy that I took into custody that insisted, eventually physically, that I could not arrest him for the act I observed him commit...because he was innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Since he had not been convicted of the crime (felony) that I personally just observed him commit, I was committing a crime by attempting to arrest him.

He protested all the way to county, in county, at his arrangement, during his pre-trial detention and at trial.

Nobody involved bought any of his arguments and he was convicted and got a bus ride to San Quentin at taxpayer's expense.

That's henrudge. The only person convinced of what he believes and no amount of reality will change his pov, even if it was him riding the bus.

Frankly, I have never seen where Helena was supposed to have said she watched McDonald kill his family or that she was sexually involved with MacDonald. I presume it exists. I'll take your word for it. I have never said Helena told the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I still don't think Greg Mitchell's numerous confessions should have been disregarded.

I do know that Helena confessed to the Nashville cop Gaddis, who testified that her information should have been further investigated. She also confessed to her lawyer, Leonard, at the time of the MacDonald trial. She also confessed to at least five other people, and that was excluded by Judge Dupree at the 1979 trial. That was clearly erroneous.

I agree with what Logan wrote on that Google groups forum in 1998:

MacDonald did not invent anyone or anything. Those people were in his house
that night. You say there is no evidence linking anyone to the crimes? You
obviously know nothing about the case. There is eyewitness accounts from
people in MacDonalds nieghborhood. There is eyewitness accounts from several
people in and around Fort Bragg. There is 3 (almost 4) confessions from the
Stoekley crowd. There was black wool in Colette's mouth, shoulder , and
murder club. There was a bloody palmprint on the footboard of the bed in the
masterbedroom that didn't match anyone. There was blond wig hair in a brush
in the kitchen that didn't come from the home. There was brown hairs with
there roots intact underneath both of the girls fingernails that weren't
Jeffs. There was a hair in Colette's hand that wasn't hers or Jeffs. There
was a fingerprint on glass in the living room that didn't match anybody.
There was fresh candle wax in several different places that didn't match the
MacDonalds candles. There was bloody gloves in the kitchen that didn't come
from the home. There was a burnt match in Kristens room. There was a blue
acrylic fiber in Colette's hand and on the hallway steps that couldn't be
matched to anything. There was a bloody syringe in the hallway closet that
was destroyed. There was a piece of skin under Colette's fingernail that was
destroyed. There were multiple unidentified hairs in Kimberly and Kristens
bed sheets. All of the weapons except for the club didn't come from the
MacDonald home. There is the eyewitness account of Dr. MacDonald who saw that
assailants and was beaten and stabbed unconscious.
What else do you need Mirse?
Now Mirse its your turn. Give me evidence that MacDonald murdererd his
family. The only evidence against him is that fact that he lived there and
did not die.

Greg Mitchell DID NOT MAKE NUMEROUS confessions. He was never proven to have made even 1 specific confession. All that was ever proven is that Greg Mitchell said he did something bad while in the Army. Considering that he was in Vietnam and there WERE atrocious activities done by US Military personnel, it is far more likely that he was discussing some in country action. HOWEVER, Greg Mitchell was fully and completely investigated. PLUS there is not one fingerprint, hair, or fiber that can be traced to Greg Mitchell in the evidence AND no DNA match. That eliminates him as being involved (same thing in re: Helena).

Every single sourced piece of evidence points at one sole perpetrator. Inmate has been proven beyond all doubt to have brutally, savagely, viciously, and disgustingly slaughtered Colette, Kimberley, Kristen and his unborn son. period.
