Quotes from the news wire:

The crime is fascinating, in 1959 in the middle of rural Kansas, a time and place where you wouldn’t even think about locking your doors, you have these two ex-cons who met in person and take a long journey by car because they heard a tip that the Clutter family had $10,000, which back then was a huge amount of money. When they got to the home, they realized there was no safe, it was a false story.
