Roberts' family testimony about Brushy's identity. When people say the mom believed Brushy was her son i think about the danger Brushy put the Roberts family in. From here it seems silly but in 1948-50 admitting you harbered the most infamous killer in the state? Would that be safe? How sure are you? If they knew he was Btk they had to double down. Their testimony can't be used by either side. Rhetorically speaking.

Anna Lee (Barnes), the first wife of Brushy Bill Roberts who claimed to be Billy The Kid, has living descendants in Van Zandt Texas. She died in 1983 and it still blows my mind how nobody ever bothered to reach out and interview the woman to confirm or deny that he was Billy The Kid.
Her children were:
David Bruce Barnes (1919-1987) Jesse L. Barnes (1923-1989)
Mind you, Brushy Bill Roberts in his story claimed that he took over the identity of a deceased cousin (Oliver Roberts) and therefore never included Anna Lee in his accounts. The task at hand here is to confirm or deny that Brushy and Oliver were two different people.
Surely her grandchildren are still alive and well in Van Zandt County Texas. Perhaps they have pictures, memories, or diaries of their grandmother and her first husband.
Jesus Christ Almighty God bless you all 😊

If anyone gets banned from the board and then returns using a different IP address then they'll be allowed to stay so long as they don't revert to their old habits. We'll see.

Understand, when a member gets banned it is their IP address that gets banned. So in order to get back on the site they'd have to either go to a different computer or change the IP address on the computer they're using. That does seem like a lot of trouble for someone who doesn't really want to participate in the discussion in any kind of constructive way. In many cases, if someone went to all that trouble to get back into the site we'd have no way of knowing it's the same person. What we saw recently was a new guest posting with the same salutation that was previously used by s person that got banned. That makes me think this new contributor is actually that same banned person. But since I can not "prove" it is the same person, I feel it is appropriate to allow the new identity to stay so long as they don't resume their old disrespectful behavior. And I don't see any reason not to do that. Along with the commitment that in the event they do resume that behavior they will be banned again without any warning. And trust me, it's easier for me to ban a new IP address than it is for a person in question to create yet another new one. To the hundreds of members here that post worthwhile content and respectful comments, please let me know if you see anything that should not be allowed. I try to read every comment posted and stay on top of all the discussions but I do occasionally get side tracked. And thanks for your understanding. - Wayne

You're lucky that Wayne tolorates you here, cause most of the anti-Brushy people on Facebook dont allow Brushy supporters on their page. Even Clyde allows anti-Brushy people on his Facebook page. Do you know what that means? I think I do, it means that they know they cant prove a damn thing and it ****es them off. The BTK coalition dont want anything to do with Brushy and even decline Brushy people who wants to pay for membership, I know cause I was one of those people, and one of the admin even blocked me for no reason( I did not mention Brushy once on their page). Why do they act like that? Can you awnser that question you think? I dont think so. Consider yourself lucky to still be allowed to comment here my dear friend!

I don't know why they didn't entertain you that's not my issue. It's not for the truth believers to prove themselves It's up to the brushy's to try and change history. Let's not forget that if it wasn't for a 33 year old film that was released then Oliver's story would have fell by the wayside.

"Let's not forget that if it wasn't for a 33 year old film that was released then Oliver's story would have fell by the wayside."
That may or may not be true but either way it doesn't prove anything about the voracity of Brushy's claim. You could also say that if were not for social media like this board and the various Facebook pages, the story would have been forgotten. But that isn't really the point. The producers of the movie you're referring to "did" know about Brushy and the story has become much more widely known because of that. No argument there. But even if the story had been forgotten, it would not have meant it was a lie.
