An Arizona historian is trying to finally put an end to a dispute that's lasted more than 130 years, over how the infamous outlaw Billy the Kid met his death.As the legend has been told, the gun-slinging murderer Billy the Kid escaped from jail before Lincoln County, New Mexico Sheriff Pat Garrett shot him on July 14,1881 in landowner Peter Maxwell's bedroom in Fort Sumner, New Mexico. But there are doubters who claim the Kid did not die that night. Some say he was shot and killed in Mexico, others believe he married a woman in New Mexico, adopted a Navajo boy, and became a rancher… link |

Might refer him to the Autry in LA. Since they have some Billy the Kid memorabilia (his Chaves County deputy sheriff badge for example), the curator might be able to point him in the right direction. |

That'll be $349,997 USD please. Now, where did I put that spare printer ink cartridge? |

He didn't die…he joined Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, Hitler, and Elvis in Argentina. |

I believe he moved to the UK and opened a fish & chip ship in Batley. |

He's under the hurtling moons of Barsoom. He REALLY likes radium pistols. |

Lord Elpass: No,no. It was Elvis opened the Chippie, and that was is Consett. Elvis in Consett … Get it? |

How does getting a death certificate prove anyone's case? It seems more like a lobbying campaign to have one version officially sanctioned. The doubters still would have their reasons to doubt. |
