In Cold Blood, Pt. II

I am on page 210 of this book, and so far a lot has happened. Two men, Perry Smith and Dick Hickcock, have murdered this innocent Kansas family, the Clutters. Due to the fact that this murder occured in such a quiet town, agents were brought in from county as well as state agencies. For quite a while, things looked bleak for the investigators. The followed empty lead after empty lead, not seeming to move anywhere in the case. They could not even determine the motive of the crime! Was it a robbery? A revenge killing? The detectives are puzzled until they recieve a call fom a prison warden who had information. One of the prisoners knew Smith and Hickock, and remembered a plan that he heard them discussing. The detectives followed up on the lead, and things seemed to check out. However, Perry and Smith seemed to be missing in action-that is, until bad checks popped up in their name right in Kansas city! This is all I know at this point, but I think that I'm about to find out more!
