Nancy Ewalt went to the River Valley Farm to accompany the Clutter family to church.

She was a classmate of Nancy Clutter's, and her name was also Nancy - Nancy Ewalt. She was the only child of the man who was driving the car, Mr. Clarence Ewalt, a middle-aged sugar-beet farmer. Mr. Ewalt was not himself a churchgoer, nor was his wife, but every Sunday he dropped his daughter at River Valley Farm in order that she might accompany the Clutter family to Methodist services in Garden City.
