Billy the Kid Unmasked: The Real Story Behind the Wild West's Most Notorious Outlaw

In this episode of 10 Minute Murder, we're turning our spotlight to Billy the Kid, the legend who was part gunslinger, part escape artist, and 100% outlaw. From the crowded tenements of New York to the dusty streets of Lincoln County, Billy's story is a whirlwind of tragedy, survival, and gutsy jailbreaks that read like a wild west fever dream. But who was Henry McCarty before he picked up a revolver, and what drove him to become the infamous Billy the Kid? Tune in as we peel back the layers of history to reveal a kid on the run, a hero to some, a nightmare to others, and the many shades in between. We'll cover shootouts, narrow escapes, and how Billy carved out a place for himself in American folklore—armed with nothing more than a few good friends and a whole lot of nerve.

00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.719
Welcome to ten Minute Murder, where we take a quick

2
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:34.240
dive into the shadowy corners of history, the kind of

3
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:38.200
corners where you'd maybe find a guy shuffling cards, sipping whiskey,

4
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.479
and plotting his next great escape. Today's episode it's a

5
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:46.280
dusty trail ride back to the wild wild West, a

6
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.000
place where you could wake up an outlaw and go

7
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:52.240
to sleep as a lawman, depending on how the cards fell.

8
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:57.079
Picture this Henry McCarty, a kid who began his life

9
00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:00.000
as just another face in the crowded New York slums,

10
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.799
somehow takes a left turn and he becomes Billy the Kid,

11
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.599
an outlaw whose name still echoes in the myths of

12
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.840
the American Frontier. It's a story riddled with tragedy, betrayals,

13
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.480
and jail breaks that belong in a magician's playbook, and

14
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.359
the kind of lawlessness that makes some modern crime look

15
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:22.439
like a very tedious paperwork issue. From losing his parents

16
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:26.159
to facing down hired guns, Billy's journey is a tale

17
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:29.400
of survival, of dancing in and out of sheriff's hands

18
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:32.599
and carving out a name or maybe a myth that

19
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:36.439
still haunts the American imagination, but before we get into

20
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:39.319
the inevitable showdown, before we see Billy go from a

21
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:43.280
hungry street kid to a folk hero and enemy number one,

22
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.000
let's talk about the escapades that earned him his famous nickname,

23
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:52.079
and spoiler, it wasn't just because he looked young. So

24
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.879
buckle up or you know, saddle up. The story comes

25
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:59.840
with shootouts, secret alliances, bad poker games, and at least

26
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.120
one sheriff who really should have taken up a safer profession.

27
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:06.280
And don't worry, I'll leave the biggest twists hanging for

28
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.319
the right moment, because, after all, Billy always had a

29
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:25.479
way of keeping people guessing. The wild wild West a

30
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.240
place where outlaws could become members of law enforcement overnight

31
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.479
or vice versa, for that matter, and a place where

32
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:34.960
many would carve out a level of fame and fortune

33
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.719
that would last far longer than their own lifetimes. This

34
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.840
was the case for Henry McCarty, son of Irish immigrants

35
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.120
in New York City. No one would have expected the

36
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:49.960
life that awaited young baby Henry in those formative early years,

37
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:52.680
but there would be no mistaking the man that he

38
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:57.560
would become in the legacy he would leave behind. Henry's

39
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:01.039
life was marred with tragedy early on, when his father died,

40
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.360
leaving his wife, Katherine and their two sons alone in

41
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.439
the New World. It was more than likely that Catherine

42
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.759
and her children had to live in the slums and

43
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.599
on the streets of New York City before Catherine was

44
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:15.639
able to find the means to move her family to Indiana.

45
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:20.560
There it would seem their luck would change. Catherine met

46
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:24.159
and married a man named William Antrim, who would also

47
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:26.879
go on to adopt her sons. That was it. The

48
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:30.000
foundations for a new, fresh lease on life had been

49
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:34.360
provided for the now Antrim family, But for poor Catherine,

50
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.719
it was too little, too late. She began showing signs

51
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.240
of suffering from tuberculosis, or as they called it in

52
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:45.199
those days, consumption, a disease that was at this point

53
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:48.639
in time, a death sentence. Within a year of their

54
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:53.240
fresh start, Henry McCarty was left an orphan. When Catherine,

55
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:56.240
his mother had gone, Her new husband, William, turned their

56
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.919
back on her sons, and they were left with nothing,

57
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.520
not even a place to call home. Taking pity on

58
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:06.039
the now fourteen year old Henry, a local innkeeper gave

59
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:08.759
him a bed to sleep on in exchange for work.

60
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:13.840
Shortly after, Henry would be caught stealing food. Shortly after that,

61
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:19.279
he and a friend were arrested while robbing a Chinese launderette. Henry, however,

62
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.800
managed to escape from jail by shimmying up a chimney.

63
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.040
This was the birth of Henry McCarty the Fugitive, but

64
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.720
he wasn't quite the man who would go down in

65
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:34.839
infamy just yet. From prison, Henry escaped to his stepfather's house,

66
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:38.680
only to be met with the cold shoulder. William gave

67
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.519
Henry some money to get by, and then he showed

68
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:45.480
him the door. Henry was off once again, officially out

69
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.639
on the streets. He quickly fell in with some outlaws

70
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:52.079
and began stealing horses from soldiers. It was during this

71
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:55.759
time that Henry would be given the nickname Kid Antrim.

72
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.600
This was one step closer to the man that would

73
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.040
go down as one of the all time heroes of

74
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.240
the wild West, but not just because of his young age.

75
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:08.199
Kid was a common nickname for juvenile delinquents at that time,

76
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:12.480
and Henry surely fit that profile. Shortly after he started

77
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:17.040
selling horses, Henry was caught and arrested yet again, in

78
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:21.600
a magnificent display of dexterity and brazen confidence. He managed

79
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.800
to escape from prison even though he was wearing shackles

80
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.879
while the guards were out visiting a local dance hall

81
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:32.639
in an even bigger show of brazen confidence. Instead of fleeing,

82
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.959
Henry then returned to the same town and enjoyed a

83
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:40.079
game of poker with a local blacksmith named Francis Wendy

84
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:42.600
k Hill. But it wasn't showing back up in the

85
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.480
same town he'd been arrested in, or even the locals

86
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.439
ratting him out that would get Henry in trouble yet again,

87
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:53.079
but himself. Francis k Hill picked on Henry during this

88
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.600
game of poker, and he reportedly accused Henry of being

89
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.959
a pimp. Things then escalated, which resulted in Francis pinning

90
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:04.959
Henry to the ground and slapping him. Quote Billy had

91
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:08.879
no choice, he had to use his equalizer. That's from

92
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.519
one witness that later told the local law enforcement what

93
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:16.160
happened Billy and Henry, and his equalizer being the gun

94
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:20.879
that he and blacksmith Francis Cahill had fought over. Henry

95
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:24.959
then fled, leaving Francis bleeding from a gunshot wound to

96
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:29.959
his stomach. Francis died the following day, officially making Billy

97
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:34.319
the Kid a killer. Maybe believing that witness testimony of

98
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:36.839
that evening would be enough to clear his name, he

99
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.160
returned to town a few days later, only to be arrested.

100
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.360
He broke out of jail, stole a horse, and escaped

101
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:47.519
to New Mexico before facing the courts. On his way there,

102
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:50.360
Billy was attacked and his horse stolen by members of

103
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:53.800
the Apache tribe. He was then forced to walk miles

104
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:58.600
in treacherous conditions before finding refuge with a friend, John Jones.

105
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.279
By then was almost dead, and it was only through

106
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:06.079
John Jones and his mother, Barbara Jones's care that Billy survived.

107
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.600
Without their intervention, the history books would be short one

108
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:14.319
notable character. Now officially an outlaw and wanted for murder,

109
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.759
Billy took to stealing cattle and horses, but he was

110
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:21.160
caught yet again in Lincoln County. Here we see another

111
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.800
twist of fate in Billy's story. He was caught in

112
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:28.279
possession of horses belonging to John Tunstall, a rising businessman

113
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:31.959
and cattle rancher, but instead of pressing charges against Billy.

114
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:35.079
John hired him to be a cowboy and a gunman.

115
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:37.639
But then John had a need for a man that

116
00:07:37.759 --> 00:07:41.560
could protect his herd, not just from predators and the elements,

117
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.360
but from the competition. He and his business partner, Alexander

118
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:50.079
McSween were sworn enemies of Lawrence Murphy, James Dolan, and

119
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:55.279
John Riley. In eighteen seventy eight, Alexander McSween owed James

120
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:59.680
Dolan eight thousand dollars, which in equivalency to today is

121
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:03.319
over two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Alexander sent the

122
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:06.879
local sheriff to John's property to collect forty thousand dollars

123
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.839
worth of property in livestock to cover what his business

124
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:14.639
partner owed. Desperate to protect what was his, John entrusted

125
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:18.240
Billy with nine horses and sent him away. Only John

126
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.720
could have more than likely have used the extra manpower,

127
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:23.000
and this was a move he would come to regret.

128
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:26.160
When the sheriff arrived with his own men to collect

129
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:29.759
John's cattle, John rode out to meet and stop them.

130
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:33.159
During the conversation that followed, a member of the sheriff's

131
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:36.159
party shot John in the chest. John was knocked off

132
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:39.120
his horse, but he was still alive. That was until

133
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:42.159
another member of the sheriff's party got down off his horse,

134
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:45.840
took John's gun, and shot him in the head. John's

135
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:49.120
death sparked a fierce battle between men who had previously

136
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:52.279
only been business rivals, and most notable of those who

137
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.799
remained on John's side was none other than Billy the Kid,

138
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.919
and what would become known as the Lincoln County War.

139
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:03.000
Dick Brewer, John's former foreman, was granted the power to

140
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:06.919
make arrests. He, Billy, and a number of men formed

141
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:10.039
a group known as the Regulators, all of whom were

142
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.960
deputized and sent out on the hunt for the now

143
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.559
outlaws who'd killed John. Within a matter of days, they

144
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.000
had captured three of James Dolan's men, but all three

145
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.200
of them would die before they ever made it to

146
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:26.720
the jailhouse. Back in Lincoln, chaos then ensued, with gunfights

147
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:30.200
breaking out on the daily and both sides suffering casualties.

148
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:34.759
Concerned over the growing turmoil, the governor of Mexico, Samuel

149
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:39.720
Beach Axtel, descended upon Lincoln. He then publicly reversed the

150
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.960
decision to deputize the Regulators, and in one fell swoop

151
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:48.120
made the entire party outlaws. This now meant that the

152
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:51.480
regulators were all fair game, but that didn't stop them

153
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:55.360
on their quest to avenge John Tunstall. Only about a

154
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:59.080
month later, a group of about six regulators, including Billy

155
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:02.399
the Kid, gutted the sheriff who led that party against

156
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:06.519
John Tunstall. Walking down the street, they hid themselves behind

157
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:10.000
a ten foot wall and then opened fire. The sheriff

158
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:13.360
was killed, but during the ensuing gunfight, Billy was shot

159
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:17.440
in the thigh. He escaped and, unlike the sheriff, lived

160
00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:21.080
to fight another day. Three days later, a buffalo hunter

161
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:25.600
and cowboy Buckshot Roberts tracked down the regulators. Both he

162
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:28.600
and the regulator's leader, Dick Brewer, were killed in the

163
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:32.320
gunfight that followed. This only added fuel to the growing fire.

164
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:35.279
Now feeling like they no longer had to avenge just

165
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.200
John's death, but also Dick Brewer as well, the regulators

166
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:42.960
put up an even fiercer fight. Both sides had heavy losses,

167
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:45.799
but in the eyes of the courts, only the regulators

168
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:49.360
were the ones breaking the law. After one fight across

169
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:53.799
Lincoln County lasted for five days, Army cavalry and infantry

170
00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:56.919
were sent into Lincoln to help keep the peace. They

171
00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:59.879
claimed that they were a neutral party in the conflict,

172
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.799
but once they arrived at the house the Regulators will

173
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:05.600
hold up in, they aimed their cannons at them and

174
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:08.240
warned them that they would blow the house up if

175
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:12.320
anyone fired their weapon. Seeing this, several members of the

176
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:16.600
Regulators fled the battle, leaving behind only thirteen members loyal

177
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.840
to the cause. The local sheriff then approached the house,

178
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.519
set it on fire, and demanded that everyone inside surrender.

179
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.600
It was then that Billy the Kid rose up to

180
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:32.000
lead what remained of the Regulators. Desperate to save his brethren,

181
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.679
Billy sacrificed himself and created a distraction so that the

182
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.519
other members could flee. In the resulting gunfight, most of

183
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:44.039
the remaining Regulators were killed and James Dolan's party claimed victory.

184
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:48.600
Billy the Kid, however, managed to escape yet again, and

185
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.159
rumor has it that he met with the infamous Missouri

186
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:54.399
outlaw Jesse James on his way back to New Mexico.

187
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.000
When he arrived there in early eighteen eighty, he posed

188
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.639
for the only photo ever taken of him and the

189
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.840
only one that remains with us to this day. By

190
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.240
the end of eighteen eighty, Billy was tracked down and

191
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:10.360
pinned in his hideout. After a day of negotiation, Billy

192
00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:13.360
and his men agreed to surrender and were escorted into

193
00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:17.440
town to face justice. Court lasted for two days, where

194
00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:20.919
Billy the Kid's reputation as a folk hero was visibly

195
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:24.679
and notably solidified, as people all across town to come

196
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:28.639
out and see him and show their support. However, despite

197
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.519
how the people clearly loved him, a jury would find

198
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.159
Billy guilty of first degree murder and sentenced him to death.

199
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:38.279
To this day, he remains the only person to be

200
00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:41.799
convicted of any crimes in relation to the Lincoln County War.

201
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:45.919
The story goes that while awaiting his execution in jail,

202
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:50.559
Billy caught wind that his lover, Paulina Maxwell, was expecting

203
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.519
his child. Billy then asked one of the guards to

204
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:56.840
take him out to the outhouse, but use the excursion

205
00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:59.799
to attack the guard, steal his weapon, and shoot him.

206
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:03.519
Billy then returned to the Sheriff's office and stole a shotgun.

207
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:07.120
From there, he took aim out the window and shot

208
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.960
another guard on station. Billy stole a horse and fled

209
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:15.159
the very next day, word about Billy's escape spread far

210
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:17.720
and wide, and a bounty was set for his arrest.

211
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:20.799
He was tracked down by Sheriff Garrett at his home,

212
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:23.799
where he was shot and killed at the age of

213
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:34.799
twenty two. That's ten minute Murder for today, brief and

214
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.759
bingeable true crime. I am Joe, I'm the host. Thank

just send me an email Joe at ten minute Murder

223
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:00.840
dot com. But the website does have all kinds of

224
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:03.559
cool information there. And I'm not going to ramble on here,

225
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:05.000
but I do need to let you know that I

226
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.759
do realize that the time this is being released, it's

227
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:12.679
Halloween week, and this isn't necessarily a Halloween themed episode,

228
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:15.879
but I'm working on one. It's going to come after Halloween.

229
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.879
Probably the next couple of episodes and it was not planned.

230
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:21.559
I went on a trip of sorts, kind of a

231
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:26.120
little road trip when I stayed at a hotel in Chattanooga, Tennessee,

232
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:31.559
and come to find out that hotel has a murder

233
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:36.080
history there, well one in particular, and supposedly the hotel's haunted.

234
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:38.919
I don't know spoiler alert on that. I didn't see

235
00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:41.679
any ghosts, didn't really expect to. But the hotel is

236
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:44.919
fantastic and the murder story is kind of cool as well,

237
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:47.480
and we'll do that episode coming up for the next

238
00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:50.159
couple of episodes. I realized it's going to be after Halloween,

239
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:52.840
and better planning by me, it would have been on

240
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:55.679
Halloween that you would be hearing this, but my bad.

241
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:58.120
So I'll be looking for that to come pretty soon.

242
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.639
From ten Minute Murder. That's it. That is your episode

243
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:04.399
for today. Thank you so much for listening to ten

244
00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:05.080
Minute Murder.
