It wasn't all that bad all the time. We argued a lot, and no longer talk anymore. I knew he (Rick Jackson) had weaknesses he couldn't help (dating only prisoners). He was interesting to talk to, that's all.Fritzy's Mom said:
She's definitely a Rescuer type!!
That's too far for me to go, but I am going to take a drive by his condo in Huntington Harbour. I lived a few blocks away from him back then without realizing it in the 1970's. I could have walked over and said 'hi.' :sick:Jules said:
Jules said:Yeah, it was a bit creepy - even after all this time. I took pictures of the houses and the street sign.

I'm sorry, I have not bought Christina's book yet. I was just shocked to hear she knew him for decades. About Melinda, I was thinking of those photos in her book where she flew back east and met with so many people from the defense team. It must have been about her newsletter. So you're right, I don't think Melinda came along early enough to attend the trial. If Christina did attend the trial, did she only write those 3 or 4 letters to Mac many, many years afterward? I guess I need to buy her book - along with hundreds of other books I need to buy.cami said:
Hi Jules ~ yes I know exactly how you feel. I'm searching for a list of reasons that I can defend myself with, because I can't stand it when people claim it's "morbid curiosity" or judge us, saying it's "morbid" anything. That just sounds so negative. I think it's due to an inborn inquisitiveness, and a fascination with mysteries! They have some free psychological tests on a site called Tickle, and everytime I take one of them, like the inkblots or whatever, it says I'm driven by curiosity.Jules said:
Actually the good Dr. said it was Kristie who wet the bed, but it's been proven to be Kimmie. He must have had a reason for this lie possibly to cover up that Kimmie was in their bed. One theory is that Kmmie came into their bed, wet it and Collette got up and went to the sofa. She had said to a friend from class that Kimmie was doing that alot recently and was asking for advice. Then perhaps Collette heard some noises from the bedroom and maybe found Dr. Mac molesting Kimmie. That would certainly account for the vicious fight which broke out.Saying Kristie wet the bed put Kimmie in her own bedroom at the time which he thought would help his story.He didnt want her to be in the room at all because I believe she got caught in the cross fire as you said These murders were not premeditated at all. Most likely Collette freaked out, with good reason, and threatened to tell on him. So think about that, a Green Beret Dr accused of something like that? He knew his career would be over. I dont even think at this point, he planned to kill anybody, just beat Collette into submissiveness. Collette may have even struck the 1st blow. There was a lot of Kimmie's blood in the bedroom doorway. The theory is that he was swinging the 2x4 at Collette and on the back swing hit Kimmie hard enough to kill her. There was no stopping him then. No turning back in his mind. A magazine article found in the living room was about the Tate/La Bianca murders. This was only about 5 months later. He quickly decided to blame it on hippies. Even going so far as to write PIG on the headboard in Collette's blood. There was a large hippie enclave in Fayetteville at the time. He claims he was attacked by 3 people and at the same time he could hear Collette screaming "Jeff, Jeff, why are they doing this to me?" and Kimmie screaming "Daddy". Is he saying there were more than 3 people in that duplex apartment that night? Pretty crowded. He thought using different weapons would make it look like there was more than 1 killer, but it only showed the overkill of his wife and children compared to his boo-boo's :boohoo:
