THE OUTLAW WHO DIED TWICE
Help support the Podcast, New Book Launch! 🚀 https://a.co/d/04y1y2lh
On November 7, 1908, in the high-altitude silence of San Vicente, Bolivia, the law finally caught up with the "Kings of the Outlaw Trail." The official report was definitive: a shootout, a mercy killing, and a shallow grave. The era of the Wild Bunch was over. Butch Cassidy...dead....so they thought...
But what if the greatest heist Butch Cassidy ever pulled wasn't taking gold from a train, but stealing his own ending from the hands of history?
In tonight’s episode, James Cawley dismantles the Hollywood gloss to find the man beneath the legend. From the pious red-rock canyons of Mormon Utah to a mysterious machinist in 1920s Spokane, we follow the "Golden Thread" of Robert LeRoy Parker...a man born to be good, destined to be bad, and determined to never be caught.
Join us as we explore the chilling 1991 forensic discovery that turned a century of history into a lie and ask the question that still haunts the high country of the American West: Did the "Gentleman Bandit" really die in the Andean mud, or did he pull off the ultimate escape....into the dust?
Written and read by the author, James Cawley.
