Send us a textIn November 1959, the small farming community of Holcomb, Kansas was shattered when four members of the respected Clutter family were brutally murdered in their own home. Herbert Clutter, a prosperous wheat farmer, his wife Bonnie, and their teenage children Nancy and Kenyon became victims of two ex-convicts chasing a prison rumor about a safe full of cash that never existed.This is the story behind Truman Capote's groundbreaking true crime novel "In Cold Blood"—a meticulously planned crime that revealed the terrifying randomness of evil and changed how America viewed rural safety forever. Dick Hickock and Perry Smith drove 400 miles across Kansas with shotguns and rope, intending to rob and kill from the very beginning. What they found instead was a family whose only crime was being in the wrong place when evil came calling.Join host Carman as she explores the psychological dynamics between two killers whose partnership amplified their worst impulses, the devastating impact on a close-knit community that never locked its doors, and the investigation that eventually led to one of the most famous manhunts in American history. We'll examine the disturbing evidence of sexual assault, the methodical execution of an entire family, and the questions that still haunt investigators more than 60 years later.This episode contains detailed discussions of violent crime, murder, and sexual assault. Listener discretion is advised.Note: This episode sets up next week's deep dive into the Walker family murders—a potentially connected case that led to the 2012 exhumation of the killers' bodies in a search for DNA evidence. https://carmancarrion.buzzsprout.com #InColdBlood #TrueCrime #ClutterMurders #TrumanCapote #Kansas #FamilyMurder #DeadlyIntent #PodcastTrue #ColdCase #1959 #PerrySmith #DickHickock #Holcomb #RuralCrime #AmericanCrime🎙️ **EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT:**🔮 Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore💀 Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://carmanscrypt.buzzsprout.com 🔍 Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://carmancarrion.buzzsprout.com🏚️ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror ☕ **SUPPORT THE SHOW:**🖤 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/CarmanCarrion ☕ Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion 📱 **CONNECT WITH CARMAN:**🌐 Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion🐦 Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/ 🔔 **SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW:**🎵 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY🍎 iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales! 🌐 **DISCOVER MORE HORROR:** http://eeriecast.com/https://www.carman-carrion.com/ **MUSIC CREDITS:**Music and sound effects provided by: CO.AG, Myuu, Jinglepunks, Epidemic Sound, Kevin MacLeod, Dark Music, and Soundstripe.Support the show

Send us a textDEADLY INTENT - Season 1, Episode 16 "The Perfect Family Lie - Chris Watts"In August 2018, a security camera captured the last moments of what appeared to be the perfect American family. Chris Watts—devoted father, loving husband, the man neighbors trusted—walked calmly to his truck carrying a red gas can. Behind him, his pregnant wife Shanann and daughters Bella and CeCe slept peacefully, unaware these would be their final hours.What the world discovered next shattered every assumption about the smiling family photos, social media posts, and suburban dream life. This wasn't a crime of passion or sudden rage—this was methodical annihilation by a man who valued his own desires over the lives of those who loved him most.Join host Carman Carrion as she examines the psychological unraveling of Chris Watts—a covert narcissist who maintained the facade of the perfect husband while planning the ultimate escape: erasing his family to start fresh with his mistress. Through forensic evidence, expert analysis, and respectful examination of the victims' lives, we explore how ordinary evil can hide behind the most convincing masks.This episode includes detailed psychological analysis of family annihilation, the investigation that exposed his lies, and a memorial tribute to Shanann, Bella, CeCe, and unborn baby Nico—four people whose lives mattered far beyond the headlines.Content Warning: This episode contains detailed discussion of family murder, domestic violence, and child victims.
