Wayne's imagination runs wild. There is no Saga of Brushy the Kid except in his imagination.

Uh-oh. Somebody needs to feed this coydog again. How about this, i figured a way out to solve it once and for all. Either do Brushy's DNA against Oliver Pleasant's mother and see if they match or locate the pic of 14 yr old Brushy and see if it dates back to 1873-1875 like Billy's would or see if it dates to around 1893 like Oliver Pleasant's would. Of course if Brushy's teen pic dates back to 1873-1875 as Billy's would Texas Truth Teller will say they were just using a 20 year old camera when they took a pic of Oliver. But at least if the photo dates back to 1893 we will know Brushy was not the Kid!!! And if that happens I will let a coydog chew my leg off on live TV, we'll name the program The Texas Truth Teller Massacre!

Try using yours sometime. You might like it. If you have any.

I'm sure experts in this field would be able to tell they wasn't from the same hand. |

Problem with that is being able to verify which, if any, of the BTK writings were actually done by him and which of Brushy's were actually done by him. Nonetheless, there are some similarities even though handwriting can change dramatically over 70 years. I know my writing today looks nothing like it did when I was in high school and college.

I was reading about the photography development involved in Billy’s famous tintype on history.net and other articles about the history of the famous tintype, and during the development of the tintype apparently the varnish or finish wasn’t quite dried when it was given to Billy, and as he put it in his pocket the transparency of the sweater threads or lines of the material can be seen on the photo because it wasn’t quite dry, I was reading that the coating of the surface of the plate could hold a century of fingerprints and accumulated grime that had fused with the imaging silver, a fingerprint may even be in the corner belonging to the photographer that touched the corners when placing it in a sleeve, but what if there was a fingerprint of Billy’s on that tintype somewhere placed there as it was drying and still there? If it was still wet when it was handed to him there may be a print of Billy’s. Even though thousands of people may have touched it, his print may be encased in the varnish or finish as it was drying. If there is a fingerprint, then it may can be compared to a fingerprint of Brushy’s? It would be awesome to discover that Brushy’s fingerprint matched a fingerprint on that famous tintype, I know it’s a long shot but not impossible.  |
