Did Butch Cassidy Really Die in Bolivia? His Sister Said He Came Home in 1925.

Did Butch Cassidy really die in Bolivia? In November 1908, two American bandits died in a small house in San Vicente, high in the Andes, and were buried without their names. Seventeen years later, Butch Cassidy's sister said he walked into the family home in Utah and ate blueberry pie. This Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid documentary tells the real story from the record: Robert LeRoy Parker and Harry Longabaugh, the Wild Bunch, the Wilcox and Tipton train robberies, the Pinkertons, the Fort Worth Five photo, Etta Place, the ranch in Cholila, Argentina, the payroll robbery and the shootout at San Vicente, Bolivia, and why no grave has ever matched. One prison mugshot. One photograph they paid for. Two graves with the wrong men. This historical true crime documentary follows the whole case: Beaver and Circleville, Utah; the Telluride bank robbery and Robbers Roost; the $5 horse and the Wyoming prison; Elzy Lay, Kid Curry and Hole-in-the-Wall; Wilcox, Sheriff Josiah Hazen and Folsom; Charlie Siringo and the Pinkertons; Tipton and Winnemucca; John Swartz's studio in Fort Worth; Etta Place and the steamer Herminius; Cholila, Antofagasta and the court file found in 2022; the Concordia tin mine; the Aramayo payroll; San Vicente, 6 November 1908; Lula Parker Betenson; William T. Phillips; and the graves dug up in 1991 and 2008.
