I doubt that Smith and Hickock were responsible for the Florida killings tho it is possible. They murdered the Clutters because a fellow inmate told them he had worked for Herb and that he had a safe full of cash. In other words the Clutters were not random victims. I used to live only a couple of hundred yards from the Clutter family's graves. I took this photo back then.

Even if it’s only a snowball’s chance that the two are connected, this is a good way to get some nationwide exposure for your small-town cold case. The news loves stories like this, so they’ll get a bunch of PR and maybe some leads that are worthwhile from the people reading about it and remembering something.

Have you seen Capote? It's a pretty good dissection of the murderers, Capote's fascination with one of them and the whole liberal NY scene that celebrates criminal causes and the cocktail parties libs are known for.

what an unspeakable thing to happen to that family.
