Outlaw Jesse James death burial mystery reappears
New claims challenge the historic account of Jesse James dying in April 1882 at 34, shot by a gang member, and being buried near Kearney Missouri before reburial at Mount Olivet. Betty Dorsett Duke of Liberty Hill argues alternate grave and staged death with Confederate ritual attendance, amid prior Dalton and Courtney family claims and decades of impersonators.
