I had a professor at Troy who I think was kin to Harper Lee. I know he was from Monroeville.

I have also read rumors that Harper Lee actually wrote or co-wrote “In Cold Blood”. On the other hand that Truman Capote wrote, “To Kill A Mockingbird”.

Harper Lee did extensive research for her friend Truman Capote. He did not credit her. In a recent PBS special, “Hey, Boo,” nobody associated with Harper Lee believed Truman Capote wrote any part of To Kill a Mockingbird.

Lee DID help with "In Cold Blood" but as a researcher. She traveled with Capote to Holcomb Kansas and helped conduct interviews with the townsfolk who knew the principle characters in the story.
