The True Crime Exhibit at the Finney County Historical Museum in Garden City is featured in the latest edition of Kansas! Magazine. The magazine’s fifth edition of 2023, just released, includes a collection of articles under the topic of “Notorious, a chronicle of the state’s extraordinary criminals,” with three pages devoted to the exhibit. The display, which opened in 2018, focuses on the way local and area law enforcement agencies ended the crime spree of the Finney County-based Fleagle Gang in the 1920s; and brought justice after the 1959 murders of the Herb and Bonnie Clutter family in Holcomb, which led to the ground-breaking novel, “In Cold Blood” by the late Truman Capote. The new article by Cecilia Harris was published with photos by Julie Mead, as well as images from the exhibit and the museum’s files, resulting from a visit the writer and photographer made to the museum earlier in 2023.
