In Cold Blood Images








Richard one of the murders drives a black 59' Cadilac. Which is mentioned in the first part of the book.



In Cold Blood takes place in the real life small town of Holcomb in Kansas. This is where the Clutter Family lived. Has a total population of 2,026 and roughly only 500 families living within the town.









Also in the first section of the book it briefly mentions that Nancy was teaching Jolene Katz how to bake cherry pies.








As Richard and Perry are driving to The Garden City on the way to
Kansas they are playing on the guitar and drinking "orange drink and vodka". They briefly stop for a quick steak dinner before continuing they're journey.




This is the famous Hartman's Cafe in the tiny town of Holcomb. It is where the citizens get all their town gossip. The day after the murders the book mentions that the citizens are gossiing about the murders and they come to the conclusion that the murders must have known the Clutter family.





The reason why i posted a picture of a coffin is because Capote describes the funeral in pretty deep detail. For example it mentions that 1,000 people attended which at the time that was pretty much the whole population. Also it describes how Nancy's head was surrounded in cotton and who attened.




This is a picture of on of the most common mountain range in Mexico. And it mentions in the book that Dick and Perry are standing on the range discussing everything. It is a key point in their relationship because they talk about how they feel about after the murder. After that they leave and Dick drives and hits every stray dog.






I chose a picture of a radio because Flyod Wells hears the news about the murders in his jail cell from a radio. He was Dick's old roommate, he knew he mentioned the murders before but never thought he would go threw with it.


This is a picture of a 1950's laaundry mat. It is significant because this is where Dick drops of Perry while he goes to change the liscense plate on the car. This scene is important for Perry because he invsions the police and is nervous.






The reason why i chose a picture of a journal is because it mentions in the last couple chapters that Perry has a journal within his cell. They Capote mentions that he writes in it a lot to pass the time.
