Brushy Bill
In 1949, a paralegal named William Morrison located a man in West Texas named Ollie P. Roberts, nicknamed "Brushy Bill", who claimed to be the actual Billy the Kid, and that he indeed had not been shot and killed by Pat Garrett in 1881. Most historians reject the Brushy Bill claim. There were numerous points that both supported and discounted Roberts claim. Although, as stated, most historians discount his claims, people continue to proclaim that he was Billy the Kid.
Legend grew over time that Billy the Kid had somehow cheated death, despite eyewitness accounts.[106] In 2004, researchers sought to exhume the remains of Catherine Antrim, McCarty's mother, "so her DNA could be tested and compared with DNA to be taken from the body buried under the Kid's gravestone".[106] As Wallis notes, "The case remained tied up in the courts, much to the delight of New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, who knows all too well the value of Billy as a cultural icon and a draw for tourists".[106] At least two men claimed to be McCarty, and were successful in convincing at least a few people.
