The story of Billy the Kid’s short and violent life isn’t just incredible, it is indeterminate, with many parts still shrouded in mystery. For decades, the primary text on Billy the Kid’s killing was written by none other than Pat Garrett, the sheriff who said he shot the cattle rustler turned killer. So much has been fabricated about Billy the Kid’s life but the fact is that little can actually be proven. Evidence to support Pat Garrett’s claim that he killed Billy the Kid is hard to come by.

Dubbed the Green River Killer, Ridgway eluded the law until 2001, when King County sheriff Dave Reichert, the first officer assigned to the case in 1982, called a meeting to re-examine evidence...
