When we left off on episode 1 it seemed like Herb Clutter's "vast empire" was personally and financially collapsing in the days leading up to his death, but why? What happened? Peter and Isaac use this short minisode to discuss the disastrous year of 1957 (thereabouts) in Herb Clutter's life uncovered in the newspaper archives.Multi-car pileups, lawsuits, a plane crash?, and the worst blizzard in years all led to a pileup of mounting financial disasters that might go some way to explain what was happening in 1959, and why he took out a life insurance policy the day he died. Probably not the best time to carry out an affair with your banker's wife either.Above Pic: The twin engined WW2-era plane that crashed into Clutter's farm, clipped from the Garden City TelegramMusic: Komakino with our opening and closing theme!The Documents, folks (ON PATREON PAGE): 1) The car crash!
