On a December afternoon, Paul Helm, the groundsman at River Valley Farm, discovers an intruder inside the Clutter home. The sheriff apprehends the man, who is identified as Jonathan Daniel Adrian, and who has in his possession a 12-gauge shotgun and a hunting knife. He becomes the principal suspect in the case.

The man's name was Adrian - Jonathan Daniel Adrian. He was on his way to New Mexico, and at present had no fixed address. For what purpose had he broken into the Clutter house, and how, incidentally, had he managed it?

The Mexican men who were looking for work.

Maybe he ought never to have mentioned the Mexicans. He had informed Al Dewey that at approximately four o'clock on Saturday, November 14, the day of the murders, a pair of Mexicans, one mustachioed and the other pockmarked, appeared at River Valley Farm. Mr. Helm had seen them knock on the door of "the office," seen Herb step outside and talk to them on the lawn, and, possibly ten minutes later, watched the strangers walk away, "looking sulky."
