On the morning of November 14, 1959 in Holcomb, Kansa Susan Kidwell found the bodies of the Clutter family. Perry Smith and Dick Hickock are the murders. It is relieved that Perry was passed from home to home when he was younger and he has 3 siblings and 2 of which have committed suicide. The trial runs well because both of the men confess. The men are sentenced to death but it is 5 years before they are killed. During that time Perry tries to kill himself by starvation and Dick writes appeal letters to many organizations.
