The bodies of the executed killers who were immortalized in Truman Capote's literary classic In Cold Blood have been exhumed in the hope of solving a the decades old mystery of a murdered Florida family.
More than 47 years after they were buried, Richard Hickock and Perry Smith rose from the grave Tuesday from the Mount Muncie Cemetery in Lansing, Kansas, at the request of the Sarasota County sheriff's office, reported ABCNews.com.
The two ex-convicts from Kansas City rose to infamy when they were charged and subsequently convicted of the November 1959 killings of Herb and Bonnie Clutter and their children during a robbery attempt that took a grisly and violent turn after they failed to find any money in the family's farmhouse.
