Nancy Clutter was a high school student from Holcomb, Kansas. She was known for her friendly personality and was actively involved in school activities, including cheerleading and the school newspaper. Nancy was the daughter of Herb Clutter and Bonnie Clutter, who ran a successful farm. Tragically, Nancy's life was cut short in 1959 when she, along with her family, became victims of a brutal crime committed by Richard "Dick" Hickock and Perry Smith. Her story gained national attention and was later chronicled in Truman Capote's book, In Cold Blood, which explores the events surrounding the Clutter family's murder.
