Brushy Bill Roberts AKA Billy The Kid: Physical Similarities & Facial Recognition Study

I have NEVER EVER doubted that brushy Bill was billy ! I love history especially when it comes to Billy aka William McCarty. I have physically gone to probably everywhere he had been as per documented facts, including Mexico ! As for the lame ass decision claiming brushy bill Roberts as not being billy the kid was & is the most outrageous thing I’ve heard ! I went to this college to hear this info first hand & this is what I was told directly.... “ Brushy Bill Roberts is beyond a shadow of doubt BILLY THE KID” ! I know that in any case no one in a courtroom will state that anything is 100% leaving no room for error. Yet off the record HE (Brushy Bill) without a doubt was Billy the kid. I just wish there was something fro the past that identified Billy without ANY doubt that could also be used with Brushy Bill Roberts... Like dna or that bullet to test how old it really is. Hey it might help ! Needless to say, I personally believe beyond any shadow of doubt they are one in the same ! Brushy Bill Roberts is & was BILLY the kid aka William H. Bonney aka Henry McCarty aka Brushy Bill Roberts ! ! !

My great great grandmother was Ellen Casey-Moore, sister of Lily Casey-Klasner. They grew up in Lincoln NM and knew William (Billy the Kid) as well as John Chisum, and were close friends with both. Billy was even employed by my 3rd great grandmother Ellen Evaline Shellenbarger-Casey who had a warrant for her arrest in 1881 (by Pat Garrett), the same time Pat supposedly killed Billy. Fast forward to 1984 - I visited my great grandma Cora Moore (Ellen Casey-Moore's daughter in law) who was in a nursing home, and in conversation, she told me that Garrett did not kill Billy, because Billy had come from Lincoln, NM to Toyah, TX with The Casey's in 1882. He offered them protection from indians and bandits because Ellen was a widow, her husband Robert Casey had been gunned down in Lincoln in 1875. Billy stayed with them a short time and left for Mexico. I didn't really believe my great grandma at the time because she had Alzheimer's, but she apparently knew exactly what she was talking about. William Henry Roberts was the real deal. He was Billy the Kid.

The reason Roberts was denied authentication was due to the politics behind such a decision. Had the governor actually pardoned Billy, it would be a mark against the state and government. The government needs billy to have died the way he did as a message and a statement about criminals and crime. They cant have a famous outlaw surviving and claming he lived his life out without facing justice.

I think Pat Garrett let Billy escape since they WERE friends... And just told everyone he killed him so no one would go looking for him... Just my take.

I agree also that there is much about Garret’s story that doesn’t match the forensic evidence. One thing that wasn’t mentioned is that the tin type photo is a mirror image of Billy. The loading gate on the 1873 Winchester is on the wrong side, so his right ear would be the one protruding more. This is where the false notion of Billy being left handed came from.

Excellent job! I really enjoy your research, thank you

Im so glad your brought up the scars. I feel thats a very important piece of evidence that's often overlooked

Since Billy and Pat Garret were friends it is quite possible that Garret gave Billy a break and came up with a story for the public.

Nobody was going to question the story from Pete Maxwell and Pat Garret. Pete was a somebody. Biggest rancher in the State and friend to Billy. More than plausible on that alone. Always be great discussing this. Good video. Many thanks.

Gallegos is beyond reproach he was a hard-working honest man. He knew and loved Billy as a brother and if he said that was Billy you can bet that was Billy.

Can't get enough of shit like this, thanks brother

Really enjoyed watching this cool video dude 😎

IF he has all the wounds and they were verified, who is going to get shot like that and cut up years ago to say 40 or so years later they were William Henry Bonny? Nobody. The ability to verify all the wounds and have the stories to back them up each and every one on your own body match with historical records should seal the deal alone. Regardless of pictures.

Thanks for this video. I always thought it made sense and I know for sure, Brushy was Billy.

Yeah, it's pretty convenient how those that deny any possibility of Roberts being the kid, completely glossover and ignore the fact the man was riddled with bullet holes and scars that matched the kid, I mean seriously? Who the hell when it comes to an ordinary person, is running around with that kind of damage to their body?

Brett, excellent job you've done. That protruding ear has always been known as a "cauliflower" ear. It happens when in the womb, the baby lays on that side for long periods of time with the ear folded a bit. I know, I have one.

Subscribed! Love this stuff thank you

Brett, your research is amazing.

I am intrigued... thank you

I truly appreciate your continued research on Billy The Kid / Brushy Bill Roberts. This is very interesting… and I’m convinced, they are one and the same..
