At Salon, Laura Miller covers a recent update in the ongoing criticism of—and legal proceedings involving—Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood. Ronald Nye, the son of Harold Nye, a former agent for the Kansas Bureau of Investigation who has since died, can finally publish his father’s documents. These notes that he kept during the case present contradictions to Capote’s narrative, and Miller uses their potential revelation as a way to discuss the popular new podcast, Serial, and the troubles of the true crime genre as a whole.
