0:00.0	Did you know that Billy the Kid had a brother?
0:02.7	One who just so happened to live all the way up until 1930?
0:06.7	Yeah, 1930.
0:08.8	Unlike his more charismatic sibling, Joseph Antrim spent his life pretty much in the shadows,
0:14.0	and for a good reason.
0:15.6	You see, Joseph was a gambler, and when you're making a living on the fringes,
0:19.4	sometimes it pays to have a low profile.
0:21.9	Although Joseph would never become famous, he would ply his trade in the rough towns of Las Vegas,

0:54.3	boys had the run of the place. And he even helped to prevent the lynching of a fellow
0:58.5	gambler down in Silver City, not to mention his mysterious meeting with Pat Garrett. All that
1:04.2	and he still lived long enough to see his brother's story being told on the big screen. Now I have
1:09.6	previously released an episode on Joseph, which I will play again just a moment for those of you who may have missed it.
1:15.6	But the reason I'm bringing him up today is due to a brand new discovery. Way back in 1930 when Joe died, his remains went unclaimed.
1:23.7	Eventually, his body was donated to a medical school in Colorado, and that was pretty much
1:27.7	that.
