Billy the Kid Unmasked: The Real Story Behind the Wild West's Most Notorious Outlaw

In this episode of 10 Minute Murder, we're turning our spotlight to Billy the Kid, the legend who was part gunslinger, part escape artist, and 100% outlaw. From the crowded tenements of New York to the dusty streets of Lincoln County, Billy's story is a whirlwind of tragedy, survival, and gutsy jailbreaks that read like a wild west fever dream. But who was Henry McCarty before he picked up a revolver, and what drove him to become the infamous Billy the Kid? Tune in as we peel back the layers of history to reveal a kid on the run, a hero to some, a nightmare to others, and the many shades in between. We'll cover shootouts, narrow escapes, and how Billy carved out a place for himself in American folklore—armed with nothing more than a few good friends and a whole lot of nerve.
