Cold Blooded: The Clutter Family Murders focuses on the infamous crime that shocked America and was chronicled in Truman Capote’s seminal book, In Cold Blood – the November 15, 1959 brutal murder of four members of the Clutter family in their home in a small Kansas farming community, a crime seemingly without motive. This true crime documentary takes a fresh in-depth look at the legendary case — drawing from the first-hand accounts of relatives, family friends, townspeople and law enforcement, some of whom have never spoken publicly before. Never-before-seen details such as original photographs, audio recordings, and documents from the case, as well as memoirs and letters from the murderers and their families are also presented.


Through its immersive investigation, Cold Blooded deepens our understanding of this notorious crime and explores the role it played in the American psyche.
