The Idaho Massacre

I urge anybody that has never read In Cold Blood to go read this book specifically because of the forensics Capote did such a fantastic job and you know giving such a great description of this horrible scene where this family was absolutely butchered Not too dissimilar from what happened in Piketon only it happened in one single home in Kansas all those years back

In Cold Blood is a nonfiction novel by author Truman Capote that was published in 1966 It details the 1959 murders of the clutter family in small-town, Kansas

And you might have read this book in high school or have heard of it it's really one of the first true crime stories that people sank their teeth into and I would surmise that any True crime TV series or podcast or documentary Really should give some credit to this one because without it. I don't think the genre would be what it is

There are actually a lot of parallels between the Piketon massacre and the clutter of family murders one at the family aspect Also to the brutality three the victims being shot in the head and just the sheer amount of bloodshed It's chilling for those of you who aren't familiar with the story

A lot of creepy stuff went on with this case. Anyway, he was executed down there Perry who was one of the killers was wearing a boot that had been resold and this boot when you hear this name This this name in forensic parlance. It's a benchmark moment. It's called a cat paw print When he stepped on that box He transferred a print to that box With his boot that had transferred from blood onto the surface and it left that cat paw print

Well, we've all read or heard of the book In Cold Blood. This was cold, cold, cold blood. I mean, this was calculated, planned out. And it just, you know, I mean, it just chills you to think about the calculation that goes into something like this.

It's also like that scripted series on Netflix called you, where the killer is just this ordinary guy, some unexpected murderer who works at a bookshop.

The Kirkus Review says it, quote, thoughtfully probes into the motives of key players in this intriguing yet profoundly unsettling story.

It was an intriguing title. Well, When the Night Comes Falling, I'm a big Bob Dylan fan.

And I thought, well, falling from the sky is a little too much. So just When the Night Comes Falling.

It's such a harrowing account, and it's so well written. Hearing you speak about it now, it gets me so queasy.

And I'd like to think that When the Night Comes Falling is the best source of information to what really happened.

I was writing this book, which is Why We Love Serial Killers, The Curious Appeal of the World's Most Savage Murderers. And what I wanted to do is I wanted to understand serial killers from different perspectives.

I frequently compare serial killers to sharks in, because they're both predators in nature.
