(May 2, 2007)--After more than half a century, the question of whether a Texas man was really famed outlaw Billy the Kid may finally be answered.
Lincoln County, N.M. sheriff's Deputy Steve Sederwall has asked Hamilton City Council members for permission to exhume the body of Ollie P. "Brushy Bill" Roberts.
Roberts died of an apparent heart attack at age 90 in 1950 in Hico and was buried in Hamilton Cemetery.
Roberts and at least one other man, John Miller, whose remains are buried in Prescott, Ariz., claimed to be Billy the Kid.
Those stories presuppose that the Lincoln County sheriff killed the wrong man in Fort Sumner, N.M. on July 14th of 1881 and lied about it.
The Hamilton City Council tabled the matter until next week's meeting and asked Sederwall for more information.
