When Dick is released, he convinces ex-con Perry Smith, also 20, to assist him in pursuing the stash. Dick and Perry break into Herb Clutter's Holcomb, Kansas, home on a November night in 1959. Enraged at the lack of a safe, they awaken the sleeping family and brutally murder them all. Two buddies who stop by before Sunday church discover the bodies. The murders come as a surprise to the little Great Plains community, where doors are frequently left unlocked. Detective Alvin Dewey of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation is in charge of the investigation, but there are no leads, no obvious motives, and no suspects...
