| Harry Longabaugh “The Sundance Kid” and Etta Place in New York City, circa 1901, just before they sailed to Argentina |
The Unsolved Bunch! Chances are, you’ve seen the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, starring Paul Newman, Robert Redford and Katherine Ross. The movie ends with a self-evident question mark.
