I've always wondered about this. I know I couldn't kill my best friend (no matter what). And there are many theories surrounding the death of Billy the Kid. There are a lot of people that vouch for "Brushy Bill" claiming he WAS Billy the Kid. What do you all think? [video=youtube;MfmYCM4CS8o]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfmYCM4CS8o[/video]
Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett knew each other and worked together before Garrett became sheriff, but I would not call them best friends. Billy was buried next to Tom O'Folliard and Charlie Bowdre. There is a giant headstone with each of their names, and the word "Pals" inscribed across the top. They were probably the Kid's best friends.
