Legends grew over time that Billy the Kid had somehow cheated death and survived, despite eyewitness accounts of his slaying.
In 2004, researchers sought to exhume the remains of Catherine Antrim, McCarty's mother, " so her DNA could be tested and compared with DNA to be taken from the body buried under the Kid's gravestone ".
Ultimately, the case was bogged down in the courts, " much to the delight of New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, who knows all too well the value of Billy as a cultural icon and a draw for tourists ".
Several men have claimed to be McCarty over the years, and at least two became notable because they were successful in persuading a small segment of the public.
