@@thejamesbondshow9754 When I first watched this on Lifetime in 1996, I didn't believe it at first, but FURTHER research as I got older made me realize that Pat Garrett was a liar. Brushy Bill Roberts WAS Billy The Kid.
@A Moye There is many other city's called Las Vegas in the US . Don't you have better things to do then trolling like maybe a black lives matter protest. Get a life I was thanking the person for there hard work for our entertainment and who knows if they are from the usa so I was specific on the location on which there channel was being enjoyed.
18:00 I just have a feeling this was just how he greeted everyone, like it didn't matter if you were a pizza delivery boys, neighbours, plumbers, he just shakes your hand before abruptly saying "I am Billy the Kid".
The best part of this series is when they profile a fugitive and people call in on him/her right away and they're arrested. In one segment 20 people called in. . Conversely it's so disappointing when nobody calls in on cold cases, somebody out there knows something
thats because this was late 80s, there was no internet. these days things are different and people are now caught on cctv and such. your point is invalid really
@@Jameschittenden2024eyewitnesses existed long before cameras, and they still do. So you're the one with the invalid point who made an equally invalid comment. Not to mention an incredibly stupid and shortsighted one.
This show should be returned. It was genuinely entertaining but also solved so many mysteries and crimes in its time and was responsible for putting so many criminals behind bars. Now all we have got these days are brain-dead TV reality shows and the usual flogged to death cheesy, predictable crime dramas.
It has returned. There are two new volumes of Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix presently. It was renewed for another volume, though I don’t know the release date for it offhand.
Robert Stack was a legend but in my book he still a legend. He made this show “Unsolved Mysteries” a great show because of his professionalism, class, fine narration, and as an impeccable host. His wardrobe was very professional and elegant, his hair was perfectly done, and he had an overall great personality and character. This episodes are magnificent thanks to Robert Stack. He is definitely sorely missed as he is and always will be IRREPLACEABLE. Continue to Rest in eternal Peace always, Robert, and THANK YOU for hosting a superb show. 🙏💐❤
Who else was really hoping for an update on the first case? Really sickened me when they just skipped to the next story. Really feel for the Old guy and his dogs.
Keep in mind that many of these segments have been shuffled to fill out the length of some episodes. Many segments have been removed for various legal reasons.
My mom was a drunk like Don. I dealt with her drunken shenanigans from childhood through early adult hood. I spent so much time worrying about her that i missed out on so much. As an adult i stopped putting up with it. So I can see why Brenda would come off as unsympathetic. I know i would also feel incredibley guilty though if my mom had ended up like Don.
Yeah, and then he only got seven years in prison for multiple crimes! Ordinary guys like you or me would get DECADES for some made-up charge that a bunch of teary-eyed hussies invented just to get us in trouble!
If my daughter told me that an older boy was harrassing her, I would not let her out of my sight even if it was a police officer. I would say no! I'm staying with her and that's final! If I was the girl, I would have screamed my head off and banged on the door in the precinct. I would have told my parents everything.
I've heard similar stories all with the same result. Murder. Of course, if a woman answered the door we have the added benefit of rape too. What a great world we live in. /s
Cops look after their own. "his fellow officers had no idea of his actions" - based on news articles, several cops were involved in this and helped cover up for him.
Fast forward to June 2020 and it's very clear cops help each others to cover their crimes, the system is rotten and they don't even care about being recorded while using extreme force against non violent people
There’s a man a few comments up that think that was a good enough punishment and thinks they shouldn’t be so hard on pedophiles after all it’s just touching not murder or anything. I couldnt believe my eyes when I was reAding his comment. There really are some fucked people out here walking around breathing the same air as our children. People who think kids are resilient enough to get over it and it not bother them in a year or so. Like what?!?
@Jewel Clark thats what im thinking...i mean, this guy went out of his way to take Smith to see his daughter and was publicly seen by many people. it didnt seem like he had any intentions of killing Don. It seemed more like he was trying to help this drunkard. Then the drunkard got out of hand and probably attacked him and he probably lost his patience and killed him. i mean, i think all of us have lost our patience with certain drunks...more or less strangers who are drunk. he prob overreacted. so i wouldnt call it homicide. but it could be seen as manslaughter or possible self defense if he was attacked first. then he panicked, dumped the body where the incident occurred, and probably ran when he realized what he did
@Jewel Clark Ya, I agree with both you and E A, it is strong possibility that that is what happened. Like he said in his comment he wouldn't have taken him to see his daughter at her work and at that bar and be seen in public by tons of people.

Think about it - they are transient, they have no where to go. SO they travel the country riding and robbing people. milk them dry, then off to the next target.

I think part of what hurts Roberts credability was that at one point he'd also claimed to have been a member of Jesse James gang..(not as Billy, two separate incidents)
Brushy Bill also claimed to be Jesse James. He was illiterate and Billy the Kid could read and write quite well. Brushy Bill was NOT Billy the Kid. The whole idea is ridiculous.
14:10 Actually, Billy the Kid wasn't named "William Bonney" at birth; that was a pseudonym that he made up later when he started getting into legal trouble. His real birth-name as Henry McCarty.
That's right, Fred! Also, another fun fact. Although Billy claimed to kill 21 people, folks have said it was more like 9; 4 on his own and 5 with others.
@@Notoproject2025Yes, that's always bothered me about cases like this --- why would a court (that's ostensibly there to see that justice is served) actually want to PREVENT an assurance of justice's being served by granting a petitioner's wish and ordering a DNA test??
@@Tornado1994 Well, perhaps. That's why I am saying that when Brushy Bill asked for his promised pardon, the governor should have allowed a DNA test done on him, so that his identity could have been proven and he could be pardoned.
If her father drank while they were married, and after they divorced, that may be why. Maybe her mother was worried that her father was a belligerent drunk.
According to Wikipedia, permission to dig up The Kid’s grave, as well as his mother’s, to perform DNA tests, have been denied. I’d like to see Brushy Bill’s grave added to those efforts.
Gotta love it. "He received evidence that the kid was still alive" Um, no, you heard old rumors stories from old farts. Thats called heresay. not evidence.
I don't feel bad for her I mean she haven't seen her father then he comes in drunk in a BAR where she is at and leaves because he is to drunk and loud with a stranger.....what a joke😂😂
I get how this guys partner feels. I’m a nurse and a night nurse that I worked with Forever gave report too, could trust, knew so well was caught molesting our elderly patients when she was there alone at night. I’m still so sick over it and never in my life would have guessed it.
12:55 I was born in Seattle in 1973, so you know where and when I grew up. This was one of the SCARIEST composite sketches I've ever seen. And, I've seen the early Green River Killer sketches, and Son of Sam accomplices.
Brushy facial recognition was a 93% match. He was the same height. Same eye color. He spoke Spanish like Billy did.He had matching scars. He could slip out of handcuffs like Billy could. He knew things only Billy would know.
I know these are dramatizations, but notice how infrequently the cops wear gloves when they are going through potential evidence. Otherwise, these shows are totally awesome. Used to be a big family night viewing when I was a kid. Thanks for posting. I'm bingeing right now.
Captured. On the night the case was rerun on July 12, 1989, viewers told the FBI that Mule was living in Ocala, Florida, under the assumed name Joseph John Trancina. Mule left the area after the broadcast and was gone for three weeks. He was arrested on August 3, 1989, upon his return, and was the 25th fugitive arrested after being profiled. Mule pleaded guilty to child molestation, assault with a deadly weapon and failure to appear in court. He was found guilty of all charges and sentenced to fourteen years imprisonment. Seven years into his sentence, Mule became eligible for parole and was released. He has not been charged with any crimes since.
I like how they hive the old billy the kid actor a neckerchief and make him wear a button-up with cowboy symbols. Thats how I know hes supposed to be portraying and old cowboy
According to news articles and comments on the unsolved.com page for the case, various cops were involved in covering up for him for years. It looks like it was a ring and he took the fall for the whole ring.
For everyone saying you only need to post 10%, that is NOT always the case. That is just something a judge can decide to do but there is something called cash surety where you have to pay it all.
I don’t understand why Brenda didn’t ask her Dad about the man that was travelling with him. She seemed more concerned about being embarrassed that he was drunk in public the last time she saw him.
Yes! That's why I thought too! Oooh he is very sexy! I love hunky light skinned black men with suave and swagger like he does. And yes he also in a couple other episodes of UM. One as the Hawaii crook calling himself Todd Mueller, and another one about CW Roddy, the woman whose home and neighborhood was terrorized but drug gangs on her street. He was one of the dealers. Ironically his real is Todd as well! Todd O.Russell I think his full name is and he worked as a sound operator on the show! Hehe
Honestly, Dennis Farina did a better job said no one ever. Not knocking Farina, but Stack was perfect for this. Why the new unsolved mysteries dropped the ball by not getting the perfect narrator is beyond me.
Because people are shitty and they put their own feelings before their children’s and they want to poison their kids to feel the same way. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
hahaha,,. buddy says that billy had clear blue eyes, and that Bushy bill had Speckled eyes, YES of course cause he was 91yrs old. you change as you age.
7 years and was released. In my opinion if those facts told in court are the truth, They should have thrown the book at that chicken hawk, disgrace to the uniform and the badge.
“Fired upon by a man wearing hospital clothes, a favorite outfit of Mule’s” I know it’s a small detail but I find this bizarre. Who goes on the lam wearing hospital scrubs? It’s an outfit that would clearly stand out in the middle of the woods, and law enforcement would apparently recognize him in.
But then again, an officer who was good at being undercover, you’d think would realize that dressing like a hunter would likely be ideal for that environment. Perhaps he didn’t have hunting attire with him while on the run, but had scrubs since they were a favored look. Idk. It’s very odd.
Okay the opening shot of his truck and trailer, that just freaked me out, I drive a 1975 Chevrolet C-20 the same color, down to the white top and canopy and tow a 1988 Terry 29 R. It looks damn close to my rig.
What? 90% of what I was told about Billy the Kid in school was a lie!?!? Now I'm beginning to question all the New Mexico territorial history I learned as a child in Indiana!
I love the story of old brushie Bill! I hope he was Billy the kid! That's the best part about the wild wild West! You always want the outlaw to get away! That's the intrigue of it! May he or Billy the kid or both or one in the same R.I.P.!!
ROFL! ALL of you are on crack. The Kid was hardly over 5 foot tall. Bill was WELL OVER 6 feet. You stop growing at age 18. You dont magically grow almost a foot while you are middle age. Also, he looks nothing like him in the pictures. I watched a documentary and they already did DNA testing and they proved this. Also they found someone to be his son cause he had a girlfriend in mexico . But even so, the pictures and features are so different its not even funny. But, I guess if I was smoking the same stuff you guys apparently are...
@@tellurye I just thought it was a fun story! I knew it probably wasnt him, but still a nice try. Kinda like the lady that said she was Anastasia Romanov!! Nice story and woulda been cool if it were true but they proved it to be false as well!!
I have had that happen to me when I walked into places in the south...and the way she said the "black man" came out the restroom ..touched me kinda wrong
I love it when they say the family and law enforcement try to participate when they can to contribute to the bad acting. Yes please as much as possible please.
Well, they are reenacting probably the darkest day of their lives, so, please try and be a tad understanding if it isn't an Oscar winning performance. Wowing audiences on the big screen isn't what they are going for
@Sheri Pardue Ive owned hunting dogs for most of my life , they can take care of their selves out in the wild. Although I care very much for my dogs I would be far more worried some killer is loose than the welfare of a dog. He could easily kill a persons mother or child next.
What was the point of him murdering that old man it don't seem like he had much money. He could of just stole the car smh and that cop smh molest children you are suppose to help.
It's so sad how people will take advantage of your kindness. I remember years a go riding down this old highway in the pouring rain with my mom and sister in law and there was a man walking, he looked probably early 20's and my mom didn't even hesitate to stop and give him a ride to his house. He was so grateful and a sweet guy. Looking back-- I realize how dangerous that was and I sure as h**** wouldn't do it now as an adult myself!!
@@sassycat6487 Don't feel bad I had a similar experience with a girl once. I was driving around talking to a friend (On the phone/through Bluetooth) I offered this girl a ride. Looking back I was being nice, but she could've easily claimed I did stuff to her. I have never done it since.
That's actually a good theory. They could have argued while letting the dog's out and it could have turned physical and maybe even the hitchhiker grabbed the tire iron from him and hit him in self defense.
I remember hearing about Billy the Kid but never knew who he was exactly till Young Guns came out I was 12 and seen it in the theaters I remember reading a book on Billy about a year later. Then Young guns 2 came out and they partially show Brushy Bill not long after I seen this episode of unsolved mysteries.
Yea I know, there's Alot of evidence and that private investigator too. It seemed as if the entire town knew he was Billy and they said Billy the Kid was still alive
@@coonhunter1192 ruclips.net/video/0bN73zsR4vo/видео.html nope. he was shot. 500 quid. that was probably over 100 thousand back then. now to get the money you have to show the body
@@EssexAggiegrad2011 I know. I can only hope that the guy is in prison without LE knowing he is guilty in this case. It's been close to 32 years since this happened and someone got away with murder.
Don Smith’s Murder case took place on May 11, 1987 that’s the same date in another Unsolved mystery case Convicted murderer Jerry Strickland killed a man name Elmer DeBoor. On May 11, 1987 Elmer DeBoor was shot two times in the back of the head Here’s a link to that case. ruclips.net/video/lS5L5WcobWo/видео.html

@@Quacks0 Brushy Bill WAS Billy The Kid.
@@Tornado1994 Well, perhaps. That's why I am saying that when Brushy Bill asked for his promised pardon, the governor should have allowed a DNA test done on him, so that his identity could have been proven and he could be pardoned.
The daughter's reaction at @7:33 goes from I went to the bathroom out of shame to full on, oh Lord give me strength I'm done.
Wow!!!! Not many brothers in this area. He walked in and everything and everybody stopped. 😳
same thing would happen in my hometown of San Jose when we saw Africans 🙈
In my town of 220 anyone not from there everyone stares until you sit 😆🤣😂
Her mother was mean as hell to keep her away from her father that long
Or maybe it was necessary at the time.
@@JanetStarChild Hope she sees this bro.
If her father drank while they were married, and after they divorced, that may be why. Maybe her mother was worried that her father was a belligerent drunk.
The actor who portrayed the man with Don Smith also played the role of Todd Mueller
Why not just dig up the skull of the man buried in Billy's grave? compare it to the photo and send the skull to a forensic reconstructionist!
Gravestones were washed away in the 1900s in a flood, nobody knows where he's buried.
According to Wikipedia, permission to dig up The Kid’s grave, as well as his mother’s, to perform DNA tests, have been denied. I’d like to see Brushy Bill’s grave added to those efforts.
He only served 7 years, what a joke!
@urpieceofheaven 2 ... IKR ???!!! What an outrage !!!
My thoughts exactly. Sympathetic paedophile judge , no doubt.
I felt sick when I saw that. 7 years! Unbelievable.
Judge should be removed from bench
😳😕
18:47 - 19:02 - If you mute the sound, the visual is way, way too uncomfortable too watch.
Lmao.
This is my kind of humor, friends.
Loved this show when it was on, I have 3 different dvd collections of this show.
Gotta love it. "He received evidence that the kid was still alive" Um, no, you heard old rumors stories from old farts. Thats called heresay. not evidence.
This episode always stuck with me. I felt so bad for Brenda. That guilt of being embarrassed by an alcoholic that you love 💔
I don't feel bad for her I mean she haven't seen her father then he comes in drunk in a BAR where she is at and leaves because he is to drunk and loud with a stranger.....what a joke😂😂
I get how this guys partner feels. I’m a nurse and a night nurse that I worked with Forever gave report too, could trust, knew so well was caught molesting our elderly patients when she was there alone at night. I’m still so sick over it and never in my life would have guessed it.
12:55 I was born in Seattle in 1973, so you know where and when I grew up. This was one of the SCARIEST composite sketches I've ever seen. And, I've seen the early Green River Killer sketches, and Son of Sam accomplices.
Learned that Billy the Kid stuff from Emilio Estevez along time ago...
Way back when I had the red and black, lumberjack with the hat to match.
😂😂😂😂
Brushy facial recognition was a 93% match. He was the same height. Same eye color. He spoke Spanish like Billy did.He had matching scars. He could slip out of handcuffs like Billy could.
He knew things only Billy would know.
Yep, no doubt he was the real Billy the Kid
Billy's death does raise suspicions like after jesse james was killed his body was practically paraded everywhere, why did pat not do the same?
William the kid was a class act.
I do believe that brushy bill Roberts was in fact Billy the kid
I agree
thank you for sharing with me i love u guys!
I know these are dramatizations, but notice how infrequently the cops wear gloves when they are going through potential evidence. Otherwise, these shows are totally awesome. Used to be a big family night viewing when I was a kid. Thanks for posting. I'm bingeing right now.
@Jewel Clark So as You were posting , You typed the sound "um" ?
That is very strange ....
Like , aah , why ?
@Jewel Clark I tried to figure out what word "um" could have been if it was a "typo" ..... How did "back" become "um" ?
( Do You grow Your own ? )
@@stevenattanasso2003 You are a total " um " whats the word I want ? Jerk.
DNA evidence wasn't really appreciated until later, so gloves weren't that big of a deal
Captured. On the night the case was rerun on July 12, 1989, viewers told the FBI that Mule was living in Ocala, Florida, under the assumed name Joseph John Trancina. Mule left the area after the broadcast and was gone for three weeks. He was arrested on August 3, 1989, upon his return, and was the 25th fugitive arrested after being profiled. Mule pleaded guilty to child molestation, assault with a deadly weapon and failure to appear in court. He was found guilty of all charges and sentenced to fourteen years imprisonment. Seven years into his sentence, Mule became eligible for parole and was released. He has not been charged with any crimes since.
I like how they hive the old billy the kid actor a neckerchief and make him wear a button-up with cowboy symbols. Thats how I know hes supposed to be portraying and old cowboy
How did that cop post $150,000 bail?!!!
illegal funds
According to news articles and comments on the unsolved.com page for the case, various cops were involved in covering up for him for years. It looks like it was a ring and he took the fall for the whole ring.
Only need 10% to post bond. A car pr house will work.
Probably Robbed a Bank .
For everyone saying you only need to post 10%, that is NOT always the case. That is just something a judge can decide to do but there is something called cash surety where you have to pay it all.
I don’t understand why Brenda didn’t ask her Dad about the man that was travelling with him. She seemed more concerned about being embarrassed that he was drunk in public the last time she saw him.
Exactly
That's why she's so full of regret.
Facts that would’ve been the first Thing I would have questioned
She didn't know he was travelling with him until he left and she saw him get into the truck.
Exxxaaacccctttllly.
I can't help it, I have to say that the one playing the hitchhiker in the first story is Fine looking.
Don't apologize. When I was a teenager and these were first broadcast, I loved watching the show for the mystery as well as the hot actors they cast.
He is. He played in another episode too. The one about the Hawaii con artist who would forge checks and cash at banks.
Yes! That's why I thought too! Oooh he is very sexy! I love hunky light skinned black men with suave and swagger like he does. And yes he also in a couple other episodes of UM. One as the Hawaii crook calling himself Todd Mueller, and another one about CW Roddy, the woman whose home and neighborhood was terrorized but drug gangs on her street. He was one of the dealers. Ironically his real is Todd as well! Todd O.Russell I think his full name is and he worked as a sound operator on the show! Hehe
he also is the one whop plays the joker con man LOL EDIT: Oh sorry @SweetFace didnt see you posted this already.
Are you kidding? He is black.
Billy the Kid was born in Brooklyn, NY and his name was Henry McCarty. William Bonney was a much later alias.
Not Brooklyn. Manhattan he was from the Irish ghetto in the Five Points
Damn that Charles mulee actor looks exactly like him!
Honestly, Dennis Farina did a better job said no one ever.
Not knocking Farina, but Stack was perfect for this. Why the new unsolved mysteries dropped the ball by not getting the perfect narrator is beyond me.
Like how Robert says pickup truck
I cannot for the life of me understand the 7 year sentence for the cop? Why was so little time given.. It's warped
@Pamela ... IKR???!!! Sickening !!!
I’ll never understand why a mom would keep her kid away from her dad just because she has a bad relationship with him, that’s not the kids fault!
I think it had more to do with his alcohol addiction
Because people are shitty and they put their own feelings before their children’s and they want to poison their kids to feel the same way. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
hahaha,,. buddy says that billy had clear blue eyes, and that Bushy bill had Speckled eyes, YES of course cause he was 91yrs old. you change as you age.
Bushy Bill was nothing but an old guy telling tall tales
@@EssexAggiegrad2011 Oh dear!!! Poor fellow. Why would someone do that? its a strange world out there. thank you
@@gardenglory6624 I think hr honestly believe he was Billy the Kid.Might not have been all there if you catch my drift.
your eye color doesnt change
@@jb0609 yes ,they can and do as you age.
I love this show I watch it every night and it puts me to bed lol but shout out to the late great Robert Stack!!!!
7 years and was released. In my opinion if those facts told in court are the truth, They should have thrown the book at that chicken hawk, disgrace to the uniform and the badge.
“Fired upon by a man wearing hospital clothes, a favorite outfit of Mule’s”
I know it’s a small detail but I find this bizarre. Who goes
on the lam wearing hospital scrubs? It’s an outfit that would clearly stand out in the middle of the woods, and law enforcement would apparently recognize him in.
“Hey, how are you doing “?
“Bang, Bang”!!! 🤣
I always thought that was odd too, but figured it was likely a disguise he used from working undercover, which they said he’d been very good at doing.
But then again, an officer who was good at being undercover, you’d think would realize that dressing like a hunter would likely be ideal for that environment. Perhaps he didn’t have hunting attire with him while on the run, but had scrubs since they were a favored look.
Idk. It’s very odd.
@@Fecalage He was said to have enjoyed the thrill of the chase, maybe he was dangling a carrot and seeing if anyone reacted.
Okay the opening shot of his truck and trailer, that just freaked me out,
I drive a 1975 Chevrolet C-20 the same color, down to the white top and canopy and tow a 1988 Terry 29 R. It looks damn close to my rig.
What? 90% of what I was told about Billy the Kid in school was a lie!?!? Now I'm beginning to question all the New Mexico territorial history I learned as a child in Indiana!
I know everything has been lies 😡
Everything they teach us is way off and lies 🤥
I like this show but why do they continue to repeat the same updates
Chris Spearline the updates were looped into the reruns
URBAN SHAMEN obviously
And the musical are horrible...
@@chrisspearline2942 ask obvious questions get obvious answers
Just the way Robert Stack said blood sent chills down your spine LOL
I love the story of old brushie Bill! I hope he was Billy the kid! That's the best part about the wild wild West! You always want the outlaw to get away! That's the intrigue of it! May he or Billy the kid or both or one in the same R.I.P.!!
The more you look into it the likely it is that he was indeed the Kid.
It’s funny that most of what people think they know about Billy The Kid is based on Hollywood Movies and not real life.
An outlaw is just like any other criminal on this show.
ROFL! ALL of you are on crack. The Kid was hardly over 5 foot tall. Bill was WELL OVER 6 feet. You stop growing at age 18. You dont magically grow almost a foot while you are middle age. Also, he looks nothing like him in the pictures. I watched a documentary and they already did DNA testing and they proved this. Also they found someone to be his son cause he had a girlfriend in mexico . But even so, the pictures and features are so different its not even funny. But, I guess if I was smoking the same stuff you guys apparently are...
@@tellurye I just thought it was a fun story! I knew it probably wasnt him, but still a nice try. Kinda like the lady that said she was Anastasia Romanov!! Nice story and woulda been cool if it were true but they proved it to be false as well!!
Who the hell was “taught about Billy the Kid in school”?! 😂😂
Now that I think about it, I was. He's in the history books.
It's taught in schools. It's usually relegated to a few paragraphs but it's covered. I remember going over it in my Presidents class in high school.
Me
Me
Me
I believe this man is truly billy the kid. He sounds like a sweet old man reminds me of my father.
AS ALWAYS, BEST OF THE BEST !
Geez, Hemet has grown a lot since this episode. It is a now bigger, maybe not to huge like LA. But, over 80,000 now compare to back then.
6:31 A black dude walks into a bar and everyone stops talking and just stares. Hilarious. What is this, Blazing Saddles?
I have had that happen to me when I walked into places in the south...and the way she said the "black man" came out the restroom ..touched me kinda wrong
@@NICCAGE26 It was the middle of Idaho in the 1980's, a lot of them had probably never even SEEN a black man before.
where are all the white women at?
I thought it was very ignorant as well like the man couldn’t walk in the bar tf
@@NICCAGE26 kind of like saying a man came out of the ladies restroom (I've seen men leave the ladies room & it sickened me)...
That was kinda cold of brenda thought life is promised even if he was showing all the signs of otherwise
I love it when they say the family and law enforcement try to participate when they can to contribute to the bad acting. Yes please as much as possible please.
It must have not ben that bad because you're the first one to comment on it and I have watched almost all the coments from almost all of the episodes.
And the family gets to recreate the trauma of their loved one dying
Nathan Dehoyos please is not needed
Well, they are reenacting probably the darkest day of their lives, so, please try and be a tad understanding if it isn't an Oscar winning performance. Wowing audiences on the big screen isn't what they are going for
@@montecarlo4294 please is unneeded it’s very very annoying remember that
I'm startled by how many of these episodes show cops picking up evidence with their bare hands.
How many children grew up in poverty without a father because Billy the Kid blew them away. May god forgive him. May god forgive you!
Maybe none.
Poor man had the bad fortune to live in Hemet, only to later be murdered :/
Never pick up a hitchhiker
Me and my friends used to hitch hike , we never murdered anyone.
As far as Billy The Kid, let it be a mystery, and enjoy the mystery.
I feel bad for the dogs...
Man get his skull crushed and you worry about the dogs...........geesh
@Sheri Pardue Ive owned hunting dogs for most of my life , they can take care of their selves out in the wild. Although I care very much for my dogs I would be far more worried some killer is loose than the welfare of a dog. He could easily kill a persons mother or child next.
What was the point of him murdering that old man it don't seem like he had much money. He could of just stole the car smh and that cop smh molest children you are suppose to help.
It's so sad how people will take advantage of your kindness. I remember years a go riding down this old highway in the pouring rain with my mom and sister in law and there was a man walking, he looked probably early 20's and my mom didn't even hesitate to stop and give him a ride to his house. He was so grateful and a sweet guy. Looking back-- I realize how dangerous that was and I sure as h**** wouldn't do it now as an adult myself!!
@@sassycat6487 Don't feel bad I had a similar experience with a girl once. I was driving around talking to a friend (On the phone/through Bluetooth) I offered this girl a ride. Looking back I was being nice, but she could've easily claimed I did stuff to her. I have never done it since.
@I. Wynn Wynn HE could have easily been a victim of one of the 1%!!
@I. Wynn Wynn Salty, toxic feminist alert...
murdered? yet he was angry, drunk, and tried to start a fight. Who is say her father didnt get drunk AGAIN and attacked the hitchhiker?
That's actually a good theory. They could have argued while letting the dog's out and it could have turned physical and maybe even the hitchhiker grabbed the tire iron from him and hit him in self defense.
He still killed him even if it is self defense. If that’s the case, then why not come fourth? Especially after all this time?
If I had to defend myself I'd sure dump the body, steal the truck, continue on my merry way, and run from a traffic accident later. 👍
🙄
Good episode from start to finish
Y so serious 😈🃏🥃
I can't believe I never heard about Billy the Kid until unsolved mysteries.
Native2458 wow.
I remember hearing about Billy the Kid but never knew who he was exactly till Young Guns came out I was 12 and seen it in the theaters I remember reading a book on Billy about a year later. Then Young guns 2 came out and they partially show Brushy Bill not long after I seen this episode of unsolved mysteries.
Crack open a history book some time , you would be surprised what you might learn.
@@troynov1965Some of it may even be accurate.
I fully believe that old man could’ve been Billy the Kid
Yea I know, there's Alot of evidence and that private investigator too. It seemed as if the entire town knew he was Billy and they said Billy the Kid was still alive
I guarantee it was billy the kid.
Yea me too, a lot of people knew he was Billy but they didnt reveal him
@@coonhunter1192 😂😂😂
@@coonhunter1192 ruclips.net/video/0bN73zsR4vo/видео.html nope. he was shot.
500 quid. that was probably over 100 thousand back then.
now to get the money you have to show the body
The black guy who killed Smith was also teh conmen Todd from another episode!
My favorite story lol
Good episode😉
Don Smith's killer has never been caught.
That's sad
That's sad and it makes me mad.
@@EssexAggiegrad2011 I know. I can only hope that the guy is in prison without LE knowing he is guilty in this case. It's been close to 32 years since this happened and someone got away with murder.
@@JoshP037 32 years later. Still no one caught.
Don Smith’s Murder case took place on May 11, 1987 that’s the same date in another Unsolved mystery case Convicted murderer Jerry Strickland killed a man name Elmer DeBoor. On May 11, 1987 Elmer DeBoor was shot two times in the back of the head Here’s a link to that case. ruclips.net/video/lS5L5WcobWo/видео.html
R.I.P. ROBERT STACK #2020
I can't remember if the Brushy Bill segment was shot over at Alamo Village (Brackettville) in Texas. Stack certainly seems to be at Alamo Village.
Brushy Bill NOT Billy The Kid
The photos of " Brushy Bill" when he was young, has clear blue eyes. So do the photos of " Billy the Kid." The possibilities are endless.
"6:37 black man walks into a bar..." I'm blowed that even in '87 that the music stops for that
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not that hard to believe walking into a local semi-cowboy bar in Colorado at that time.
@@j7220 all I can say is GO BILLS!!!😂😂😂
EVERYONE turns into a different person when drunk!!!
Supposedly he was shot in the face with a shotgun and that's why they couldn't identify him 🤷 just another story I've heard
