Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald, MD: At the hospital, when they were looking me over... uh... there were these little puncture wounds all over my abdomen and I guess they came up with 14 different wounds or something like that. And a deep cut right here to my right side.William Ivory: Was this from the assailants? These people in your house?Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald, MD: Well, I assume so.William Ivory: You didn't do it yourself?Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald, MD: No. But then they said that we'll have to do an X-ray. Now, when your chest is bubbling that means you have a pneumothorax. Any Special Forces medic knows that, and any nurse knows that.Franz Grebner: Okay. We have three people here, your wife and two daughters, over-killed almost and yet these intruders let you live.Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald, MD: Well... maybe they assumed I was dead.Franz Grebner: Wait, let me drift back a little. You just said that in the initial assault that you heard screaming. Was there screaming or was there...Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald, MD: Words? Well... I heard my wife saying "Jeff, why are they doing this to me?"William Ivory: This was while you were still on the couch?Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald, MD: Right. And then I heard Kristy... no Kimmy, the older girl, saying "Daddy!" She kept saying "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" over and over. But... there's something I can't figure out. I've gone over this a hundred times in my own mind. There are so many... unanswered questions.Robert Shaw: You woke up, Captain MacDonald, and saw four people in your living room and at the same time you heard your wife somewhere screaming? And you heard one of your daughters?Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald, MD: Right.Robert Shaw: So, there must have been two more people at least.Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald, MD: [shrugs] Well... I don't know. I don't understand. If they came in through the open back door and by the time they got to me if I still heard screaming... or were there more people involved?Robert Shaw: Six. A minimum of six intruders.Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald, MD: I know.Robert Shaw: In a house your size that's an awful lot of people. There should have been broken furniture, smashed mirrors, shattered windows, broken in walls.Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald, MD: [shrugs again] Well... I don't know. You people have more experience in this then I do. So, I wouldn't necessarily expect that.
