Confusion of death
There is a lot of confusion of where Butch

think they died in Bolivia, others think they died
in Utah, Wyoming, Washington, Colorado, or

Etta Place is often thought of as a


woman named Ann Bassett after she
disappeared in South America.

Some historians think that the


Sundance kid moved in Duchesne,
Utah and changed his name to
