		Truman Capote was first introduced to the story of the brutal killing of the Clutter family “…one morning in November of 1959, while flicking through The New York Times, I encountered on a deep inside page, this headline: Wealthy Farmer, 3 of Family Slain” (Capote, 3).
		As well as being written in a journalistic style, In Cold Blood is written in a documentary style, which switches “…back and forth from the worlds of the Clutter family, and later of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, to the terrible half-world in which the two murderers live” (McCabe, 561).
		Through the use of these three styles of writing, Capote is able to present the factual account of the detective work on solving the murders; the events before, during, and after the murders; and personal accounts of all of the characters involved.
