However, prosecutor James Blackburn claims that Jeffrey had not identified her in a photo line-up, despite her allegedly being just feet away from him while he was being attacked. She died of cirrhosis in 1983 at age thirty-two without ever being charged in the case. Greg Mitchell also confessed to several people that he was the killer. He made an especially tearful confession to his best friend, Bryant Lane. However, he could never be charged in the case because he also has since died.<br />

The defense believes that Helena Stoeckly, Greg Mitchell, and two other men were responsible for the murders. Helena was reportedly seen near the MacDonald house around the time of the murders. She confessed to the murders on multiple occasions; however, she did not testify at trial. She claimed that they killed Colette, Kimberly, and Kristen because Jeffrey had been involved in drug-related arrests. A witness who accidentally called the MacDonald home corroborated her story. Greg also reportedly confessed to his involvement in the murders. However, they both have since died.<br />
