He takes true facts from the case and fills in the gaps and takes his dramatic license to turn it into a story. The book begins with the Clutter family alive and well and tells how their daily lives were so we got to know each member of the family; Herbert, Bonnie, Nancy, and Kenyon, as people. The oldest child’s, Nancy, friends came to the house in search of her and discovered the bloody, gory, lifeless, seen of the family and the investigation begins. In such a small town paranoia begins to spread and everyone is on edge. Then Capote flashes to the murders and portrays what he believes they were doing at this time and how they were feeling and makes up a scene in a diner where they are worried about getting caught. At this point the detectives have no real leads and the journalists are left to write about rumors and lies circulating through the town. Capote shows and portrays how involved the detectives become with this case and how badly they wanted justice for the family. At this point Capote goes into the background of each of the killers, he talks about their previous convictions, because at the time of the murders they were ex-cons, and their seemingly normal lives before their crimes, and their families. Eventually the two men were caught when Dick Hickock’s former cell mate hears of the murder and tips off the police and says he knows who committed
