I don't blame you for writing of me as you have. You had to believe other stories, but then I don't know if anyone would believe anything good of me anyway.

Billy the Kid, and a comment to a Las Vegas Gazette reporter, December 1880.

When did Billy the kid die?

In December 1950, on the streets of Highco, Texas.

He had a heart attack.

This gentleman named Brushy Bill Roberts that had been identified in the 1950 or 1940s and went before the

governor of New Mexico asking for a pardon for crimes committed under the name Billy the

kid. And he ended up proving it.

So I do believe that Billy the Kid was not shot until

about Pat Garrett, mainly because the night of the shootout,

there was a young man killed, Billy Barlow, but that young man had a beard.

Billy did not. He had peach fuzz. And also the young man was dark-complected and

Billy wasn't. So even if he'd used Barry's trying to dye his skin for a darker color, it couldn't have grown a beard because he wasn't able to at that point.

But then the main reason why is there was a deputy marshal there that night and he rolled the body over and he told

Pad Garrett it was not Billy the Kid.

I mean by now they should have figured out was he Billy the Kid or was he not Billy the Kid

I mean it shouldn't be that hard I mean we have all this modern technology

nowadays. So I do believe that Billy the kid was not shot and killed by Pat Garrett.

But if you look at the original documents and the things that actually happened.

There's no proof he killed Billy the kid other than a few people said so.

I mean, that's literally it.

There's no, there's no body, there's no photo of the body,
