BILLY THE KID - WILLIAM H. BONNEY AND FRIENDS
THIS IS OUR FULL PLATE TINTYPE OF THREE YOUNG MEN . FACTUAL PHYSICAL EVIDENCE SHOWS IT IS WILLIAM BONNEY A.K.A. BILLY THE KID WITH TOM O'FOLLIARD AND THEIR FRIEND YGINIO SALAZAR . I HAD READ THAT MOST SO CALLED EXPERTS BELIEVED THAT A PHOTO OF BILLY THE KID OTHER THAN THE KNOWN LOST IMAGE DID NOT EXIST . PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO STUDY OUR PHOTO WITH ALL THE SOLID PHYSICAL EVIDENCE NEVER BEFORE SEEN AND COMPARED TO KNOWN IMAGES OF BONNEY AND O'FOLLIARD. EVIDENCE THAT WAS FOUND WITH CLOSEUP COMPARISON THAT NO OTHER PHOTOGRAPH CLAIMING TO BE OF THE KID CAN PRODUCE . EVIDENCE THAT COMES FROM THE TWO ONLY KNOWN IMAGES OF THE KID AND O'FOLLIARD AND AN IMAGE OF SALAZAR. ROCK SOLID FACIAL AND PHYSICAL EVIDENCE THAT ONLY THE REAL PHOTO OF BILLY THE KID AND TOM O'FOLLIARD COULD PRODUCE . THESE POINTS ARE FACT. THE THREE KNOWN IMAGES OF THE KID, O'FOLLIARD AND SALAZAR , VALIDATES OUR PHOTO AND IN TURN OUR PHOTO ACTUALLY VALIDATES THE KNOWN PHOTOS.
KNOWN PHOTO OF A TEENAGE TOM O' FOLLIARD COMPARED TO ONE OF THE YOUNG MEN IN OUR TINTYPE.
TOM WAS THE BEST FRIEND OF BILLY THE KID AND HE WAS KILLED BY SHERIFF PAT GARRETT'S POSSE IN 1880. A CLOSER VIEW BELOW OF OUR PHOTO AND THE KNOWN O'FOLLIARD PHOTO.
BILLY THE KID WAS SAID TO ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN GOOD LOOKING AND THE KNOWN IMAGE OF HIM AS BEING A BAD PHOTO THAT DID NOT CAPTURE HIS LOOKS AND SMOOTH SKIN . THESE COMMENTS WERE MADE BY PEOPLE WHO PERSONALLY KNEW HIM . HE WAS ALSO A SHARP DRESSER. HIS SHOULDERS IN THE KNOWN IMAGE ARE ABNORMALLY WEAK AND SLANTED AS IN OUR TINTYPE.
OUR PHOTO COMPARED TO KNOWN TEENAGE PHOTO OF O'FOLLIARD. LOOKING AT THE PHOTO, THE RIGHT EYE HAS A LITTLE LAZY EYELID THAT DROOPS A BIT IN THE MIDDLE. THE OTHER EYE MORE ALMOND SHAPE. HE HAS A DIMPLE ON HIS CHIN IN BOTH PHOTOS A LITTLE OFF SET FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE CHIN. THE FOREHEAD HAIRLINE HAS THE LOWEST POINT OVER THE THE AREA BETWEEN THE RIGHT EYE AND BRIDGE OF THE NOSE IN BOTH PHOTOS. IDENTICAL NOSE IN EACH PHOTO .HE HAS A EUROPEAN LOOK TO HIM IN BOTH PHOTOS. i WOULD SAY FRENCH . ALSO A FACIAL BLEMISH WE NOTICED ON THE KNOWN IMAGE AND FOUND IN THE SAME SPOT IN OUR TINTYPE. THE CLOSEUP OF THE BLEMISH IS SHOWN BELOW . OUR PHOTO IS TOM O'FOLLIARD AND THE OTHER TWO MEN EVIDENTLY FRIENDS OF HIS..
OUR TINTYPE COMPARED TO REVERSED KNOWN IMAGE. THE ONE EAR STICKING OUT FURTHER THAN THE OTHER IS CAUSED BY HIS HAT.
OUR PHOTO COMPARED TO KNOWN IMAGE OF YGINIO SALAZAR IN HIS 20'S - FRIEND OF BILLY THE KID AND TOM O'FOLLIARD
A VISITOR TO THE SITE EMAILED US ABOUT ANOTHER MAN IN THE PHOTO. HE SAID THAT PERSON HAD SOME SIMILAR LOOKS TO A YOUNG YGINIO SALAZAR. HE WAS A FRIEND OF BILLY THE KID AND TOM O'FOLLIARD . THE MAN IN OUR PHOTO DOES HAVE A HISPANIC LOOK TO HIM. SIMILAR FACIAL STRUCTURE , SAME NOSE , RECEDING HAIRLINE AND EAR SHAPE . OUR TINTYPE IS PAINTED AND THE YOUNG PHOTO OF SALAZAR APPEARS TO BE A DRAWING OF A PHOTO. THE TWO SEATED MEN IN OUR PHOTO LOOK LIKE TWO OF BILLY THE KIDS BEST FRIENDS. WE KNOW THAT THE PERSON THAT LOOKS LIKE TOM O'FOLLIARD IN OUR TINTYPE IS O'FOLLIARD AND THIS GENTLEMAN PROBABLY IS SALAZAR.
OBVIOUS BLEMISH ON O'FOLLIARDS FACE WE FOUND ON THE KNOWN IMAGE OF HIM WHICH WAS ALSO FOUND EXACTLY ON THE SAME SPOT ON OUR TINTYPE.
.
OUR PHOTO COMPARED TO ORIGINAL IMAGE
OUR PHOTO WITH CALLOUS ON LOWER LIP.
GRAINY ,BUT THE ORIGINAL PHOTO CLEARLY HAS A CALLOUS IN THE SAME SPOT . WE THINK IT WAS IN RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS MISSHAPED FRONT TEETH BECAUSE OF IT'S LOCATION BELOW THAT AREA. I TALKED TO A DENTIST ABOUT THE CALLOUS AND HE STATED IT WAS CAUSED BY SOME ACTION THE PERSON DID WITH HIS LOWER LIP AND HIS UPPER TEETH. IT LOOKED UNIQUE TO HIM. HE ALSO POINTED OUT THAT THE TWO MOUTHS WERE ACTUALLY FROM THE SAME PERSON AND THE SIZE DIFFERENCE WAS THE FACT THAT ONE MOUTH IS RELAXED OPEN AND THE OTHER IS HELD CLOSE WHILE POISING FOR THE PHOTO AND THUS APPEARS A BIT WIDER.
WE ENHANCED OUR TINTYPE BRIGHTNESS AND CONTRAST TO SEE ANY FACIAL MARKS THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO COMPARE WITH ON THE ORIGINAL PHOTO. ON HIS LOWER LIP WE FOUND SOME TYPE OF BUMP OR CALLOUS FROM POSSIBLY BITING HIS LIP THERE. IT TOOK A LOT OF SEARCHING FOR THE BEST ORIGINAL PHOTO OF THE KID WE COULD LOOK FOR THIS FEATURE. THE BEST WE FOUND HAD THE SAME MARK ON HIS LOWER LIP . NOT ONLY DID WE NOTICE THE SAME MARK BUT THE CHANNEL UNDER HIS NOSE IN BOTH PHOTOS POINT TO THE CALLOUS. ALSO NOTED , THE MIDDLE OF HIS TOP LIP WHERE THE NOSE CHANNEL CONNECTS IS HIGHER ON THE RIGHT SIDE FROM HIS TEETH THAT ARE VISIBLE ON THE ORIGINAL PHOTO. HIS MOUTH IS CLOSED IN OUR PHOTO BUT HE HAS THE SAME SHAPE AND MARKS AS THE ORIGINAL WHICH WOULD INDICATE BAD SHAPED TEETH UNDERNEATH. HIS NOSE IS ALSO UNEVEN AND POINTS A LITTLE TO THE RIGHT BECAUSE OF THE TEETH PROBLEM HE HAD I WOULD SUSPECT. THE ORIGINAL PHOTO IS GRAINY AND DIFFICULT TO PICK OUT CERTAIN FACIAL MARKS BUT THESE "EXACT FEATURES" ON BOTH PHOTOS IS CLEARLY EVIDENT..THIS IS EAR COMPARISON FOR THE KNOWN IMAGE AND OUR TINTYPE. LOOK CLOSELY TO SEE IDENTICAL SHAPE AND SHADOW FOR BOTH EARS. NOT CLOSE , "BUT EXACT" SHADOW, SHAPE, SIZE ,ETC. ..
TINTYPE PHOTOS DID NOT DISPLAY DEPTH AS WELL AS AMBROS OR DAGS. I BELIEVE THE KNOWN IMAGE OF THE KID DOES NOT SHOW HIS NOSE AS IT WAS. THE MIDDLE OF THE BRIDGE OF HIS NOSE IS DISTORTED RESULTING IN A SHORTER LOOKING NOSE. YOU CAN SEE FROM THE NOSTRILS AND THE POINT OF HIS NOSE IN THE KNOWN IMAGE HIS NOSE HAD A SLIGHT CURVE DOWN TOWARDS THE LOWER RIGHT. THE SAME TURN AS IN OUR PHOTO. . THE EYES SHAPE IN BOTH PHOTOS ARE THE SAME . YOU HAVE A MAN THE MATCHES UP TO O'FOLLIARD AND A MAN THAT LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO A YOUNG SALAZAR AND A MAN THAT HAS THE SAME FACIAL FEATURES WITH A UNIQUE LIP CALLOUS , EXACT EARS ,BODY SHAPE, ABNORMALLY WEAK SHOULDERS AND JUST THE SAME ATTITUDE AS BILLY IN THE KNOWN IMAGE. PLUS THE PHOTO SHOWS HE DID HAVE GOOD LOOKS AND SMOOTH SKIN AS STATED FROM PEOPLE WHO KNEW HIM . TO HAVE THREE PEOPLE IN A PHOTOGRAPH AND BE ACTUALLY BILLY THE KID, TOM O'FOLLIARD AND YGINIO SALAZAR YOU WOULD NEED THE FOLLOWING. THE PHOTO WOULD NEED TO BE FROM ABOUT 1880. TOM O'FOLLIARD WOULD NEED TO HAVE AN OFFSET DIMPLE IN HIS CHIN AND A GOOD SIZE FACIAL BLEMISH ON HIS CHEEK . HE WOULD NEED TO HAVE LARGE BALL SHAPED EAR LOBES. HE WOULD NEED TO LOOK IN HIS EARLY TWENTYS OR ABOUT 5 OR 6 YEARS OLDER THAN THE KNOWN IMAGE. SALAZAR WOULD NEED TO LOOK HISPANIC. HE WOULD NEED TO LOOK ABOUT 15 OR 16 YEARS OLD AND YOUNGER THAN THE OTHER TWO IN THE PHOTO. HE WOULD ALSO NEED TO LOOK ABOUT 6 OR 7 YEARS YOUNGER THAN THE EARLY TWENTIES PHOTO OF HIM. HE WOULD NEED TO HAVE A SLENDER FACE AND NOSE . HIS EARS WOULD NEED TO MATCH UP TO THE KNOWN IMAGE. THE KID WOULD NEED TO BE ABOUT THE SAME AGE AS HIS KNOWN PHOTO . HE WOULD PROBABLY BE IN THE CENTER OF A POSED PHOTO BECAUSE HE WAS THE SO CALLED ALPHA MALE OF THE THREE . HE WOULD NEED TO HAVE ABNORMALLY WEAK SLANTED SHOULDERS. HIS HEAD WOULD LOOK A BIT LARGE DUE TO THE SHOULDER SLANT. HIS HEAD SHAPE AND EARS MUST MATCH THE KNOWN PHOTO. HE MUST HAVE AN OFFSET MIDDLE PART OF HIS UPPER LIP DUE TO THE UNDERLYING TEETH PROBLEMS. HE MUST HAVE A CALLOUS ON HIS LOWER LIP WHICH THE CHANNEL ABOVE HIS UPPER LIP POINTS AT. AND HE MUST HAVE THE SAME BODY LANGUAGE AND JUST THE WAY HE CARRIES HIMSELF AS THE KNOWN IMAGE. THE THREE KNOWN PHOTOS ALL COME TOGETHER IN OUR PHOTO. THERE WAS SOME SPECULATION THAT THE YOUNG O'FOLLIARD MIGHT NOT BE HIM IN THE KNOWN PHOTO BUT OUR PHOTO CLEARLY TIES HIM TO THE KID. OUR PHOTO COVERS EVERYTHING ABOVE WITHOUT QUESTION. THIS NOW IS THE SECOND KNOWN PHOTO OF BILLY THE KID AND THE ONLY ONE THAT STILL EXISTS.
