Did they come to any new conclusions?

Proven to be false concerning a Old Guy(forgot his name) who lived in Texas and claimed to be "The Kid"
He did have lots of Info that it seems only the Kid would know.
Pat Garrett was Billy's best bud and that's why the whole thing concerning Pat Killing The Kid went astray.

The guys name was Ollie "Brushy Bill" Roberts.
Here's a good page disputing Brushy Bill's claims on being Billy the Kid:

For those who didn't know, Pat Garrett was himself gunned down in 1908 outside of Las Cruces, NM while on horseback reportedly over a failed land deal. There were also rumors that his shooting might have also been tied to the dissapearance of Albert J. Fountain, who was a famous Texas "Radical Republican" polician who would later settle in La Mesilla, NM. He dissapeared with his son on February 1, 1896. Garrett was the sheriff of Dona Ana County at the time and headed the investigation. This and the failed land deal earned Garrett plenty of enemies in this area.
