“Inspired the Truman Capote's In Cold Blood”
This place is on private property. Listing for informational purposes only. Please do not visit without express permission from the land owner.
I read IN COLD BLOOD as a teen, just a few years after the Clutter killings, and ever since, then, I have thought how often the course and evil appropriates the good and pure. That such exceptional, talented, accomplished, and altogether great people as the Clutters could die in pain and terror at the hands of a couple of worthless, low-life drifters, is something most people just can't reconcile with the belief in a good and all-powerful God. As an aside, I think Herb Clutter would just hate his expensive, well-built 14-room house that he designed himself, being referred to as a "humble little home". That is one hell of a nice house!
This humble little home has a fascinating place in history. Two drifters brutally murdered a family living here during the late 1950's, and the crime, subsequent hunt for and capture of the murderers, and eventual trial were written about by Truman Capote in his well-known true-crime novel In Cold Blood. The house is on private property, but you can cruise past and get an even better sense of the wild story.
