There has been a number of cable shows over the past several years on outlaws such as Jesse James, Butch Cassidy, John Wilkes Booth, and others who did not die according to what history stated, but instead it was someone else and the real outlaws moved away and lived out a full life under an alias. To date dna has not confirmed a single instance.

Yes…and many who came forward as Billy were proven to be liars…this one you might find different. This guy knew way to much about the small things. Either he was with Billy at the time or he is Billy. Several people who rode with the kid sat down with him in 1950 and said that’s him, that’s the guy I remember but I encourage you to make up your own mind

Okay, I was really into the introduction. Look forward to the whole thing. Personally, I’ve had a very hard time believing Pat Garrett killed Billy. Thanks Wes.

I wonder, will this be tonight show? Or Sunday? Becaue Tony plans on a new format and new show, starting Tuesday, I think is what he said.

Okay, this may be redundant, but I see Wes answered my question (on FB), so I copied and pasted what I could (I don’t use FB, nor do I subscribe to it being feasible since it’s so invasive).

A Confessionals listener DM me and said “are you hosting the confessionals about Billy the kid because your “teaser” reeks of your production. I wasn’t sure to be offended or impressed he knew my work …”
Well I don’t have the DM feature here either, but did ask the question on SC above. I’m not offended either…

Okay, this is going to be the fifth time I’m listening to this one. I live close to Hico and have never heard of this, so planning a trip there next weekend. This is such a Great Show. Very Well Done Wes,
