Butch and The kid where notorius thiefs and robbers in the US, they had a gang called ”The Wild Bunch Gang”, the ”Wild Bunch” has the longest strike of successfull train and bank robberies in American and Old West History.
But this also had its backsides, whit the heat they where attrackting, so Cassidy and Sundance Kid went to South America on the 20th of February 1901
On the 3rd of November 1908 a courier for the Aramayo Franke y Cia Silver Mine was ambushed and robbed by two american bandits. The bandits where traced to a lodging house in San Vicente where they where staying.
The house where quickly surronded by the town mayor and some of his officials, two soldiers. A gunfight followed and during the fight the two bandits where killed. Its said that the men outside heard a man scream, then a shot and it all become quiet, the shortly thereafter another shot, And everything become quiet. When the men outside entered the house they found two bodies, whit many injuries to arms and legs, one body had a bullethole in the forehead and the other a bullethole in temple.
The bodys where removed and burried in a unmarked grave on the local San Vicente cemetery, its said it was close to the grave of a German goldminer Gustav Zimmer.
All atempts to find the reamins of theses two men have failed so far, since no matching DNA has been found.
In December 2008 authorities in Dunchesne Utah gave permisson to open a grave which is said to be the one of Sundance Kid for DNA comperasion.
If it shows that Sundance kid is burried in Utah, the history may need to be rerwritten and more research is needed.
