Film reference

I removed the following line from the "timeline accepted by historians" section:

1969: Actress Katharine Ross portrays Etta Place in the Western film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

This info hasn't got anything to do with the historic facts of Etta Place's life. It's trivia, at best. Rien Post (talk) 19:39, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disappearance - no evidence?

Is there any reliable evidence that Etta Place mysteriously disappeared (ie physically went missing, as opposed to disappeared from extant historical records)? 74.63.84.101 (talk) 09:08, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No she just dropped out of the story, in terms of known historical records. However she was probably deliberately elusive and wary, for the rest of her life. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Valhalan (talk • contribs) 07:45, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Etta Place and Ann Bassett

I agree with the findings of Dr.Kyle of the Los Alamos National Laboratory that Etta PLace and Ann Bassett are one and the same. The latest facial recognition technology, designed mainly for the banks and automated cash machines, is also insisting that the two are the same person. I think researchers are missing something here -- somebody has been borrowing Bassett's name while she was in South America as Place. This "somebody" also went to jail under Bassett's name, presumably to avoid shaming her own family. Researchers need to examine any extant prison records (inc photos?) in order to identify the "someone", cast a clearer light on this whole thing, and in particular to straighten out the inconsistency between Kyle's findings and Bassett's history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Valhalan (talk • contribs) 07:35, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is more than just the record of Bassett's imprisonment in 1903 while Place was in South America to indicate that they were not the same person. There's also her 1903-1909 marriage to explain away. Her husband would seem to have to have been in on the deception. Ann Bassett was living in Brown's Park for much of that time so it would seem like her neighbours should have noticed if she'd been replaced by someone else. Here's a link to an audio interview with Ann Bassett's biographer Linda Wommack in which she describes other evidence that puts Etta Place and Ann Bassett in two different places simultaneously even before Place left for South America: http://www.chronicleoftheoldwest.com/show_302-linda_wommack-ann_bassett.shtml Simon d Simon d (talk) 18:07, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link. I agree with Linda's facts and also her reasoning and deduction. However there is still Kyle's findings, which seem to say the opposite. These situations make third parties like me almost throw our hands up in despair. Either the science is wrong, or the coverup of Bassett and Place being the same person, goes way deeper.
