The book "Blackwater Draw" by David S Turk, a very interesting book based solely on the examination of the shooting deaths of William S. ''Buck'' Morton, Frank Baker, and William McCloskey, on March 9,1878. There were conflicting reports of how it happened and there were suspicions of why they were shot. In 2006, the author and a team of investigators searched for the remains of the men and related artifacts in Blackwater Canyon area, for the first time since the murders. The murders were reconstructed with the discovery of over thirty bullet cartridges were found in the area. The probabilities are examined, and the lives and paths of all three are examined as to how they each came to be there. It's hard to believe that those shooting deaths were hardly investigated or not at all until 2006.

I hate how I add comments but not the source to back them up. But one man did allegedly claim to witness the shooting and claimed the Kid did it, which matches Brushy's story. Ask me and I'll find it for you.
