Does this case count? It's pretty old (65 years). I drove by the house (that's on a dead end street, with a very long driveway) on my way home from Colorado.
In the early morning hours of November 15, 1959, four members of the Clutter family – Herb Clutter, his wife, Bonnie, and their teenage children Nancy and Kenyon – were murdered in their rural home just outside the small farming community of Holcomb, Kansas. Two ex-convicts, Perry Smith and Richard Hickock, were found guilty of the murders and sentenced to death. They were both executed on April 14, 1965. (Source: Wikipedia)
I've always been interested in them because they are some of the few shooters with proper families and I'm wondering how their kids get on in life after their Dad's committed such acts.
I'm watching a documentary on it and 38 people were found dead while another 11 originally survived, but died later on. I know Akyra Murray is one of them, but does anyone else know the remaining 10?
I tried to find information on the knife but nothing really came up. The only similar result is the Marttiini LAPP Knife 250.
Does anyone know anything about this knife?
That is 12 January 1896.
No source. The site I cited is gone. I suppose I will have to bite the bullet and pay for one of those newspaper archives.
Tower (2016) is a (mostly) animated documentary about the Texas tower shooting of 1966. The film uses rotoscoping and young actors to act out events from that day. It also includes interviews of the survivors 2016 counter parts. I don’t watch documentaries that much but I think this would have to be my favorite. Not because it’s true crime, but because of its compelling narrative.
Thoughts on this?
