Guy Louis Rocha One doesn't spend almost six years on a book, the point of which is factual accuracy, and then give way to minor distortions.
People are so suspicious.
Maybe they're just the ones who have to pay for it. It has been over 40 years since Perry Edward Smith, an Elko County native, and Richard Eugene Hickock quietly entered Herbert Clutter's isolated farmhouse near Holcomb, Kansas. Armed with a shotgun and a hunting knife, they viciously killed Clutter, his wife Bonnie, and their two children, Nancy and Kenyon on November 15, 1959. Herb Clutter represented everything in a father Smith never had. I liked him right up to the minute I cut his throat.
