Wanted: Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid
Butch
Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were once the most wanted men in the West.
They are thought to have fled South America, but what happened after
that? Dr. Clyde Snow, the celebrated forensic anthropologist exhumes
two bodies in Bolivia. But are they the legendary outlaws?
Dr. Clyde Snow earned his reputation tracking down missing people from
their bones. Intrigued by the different stories he heard about Butch
and Sundance, he teamed up with two outlaw historians and began an
investigation which would eventually lead him to a remote Bolivian
mining village, high in the Andes.
Did the outlaws die in a hail of Bolivian bullets, as the movie
portrays, or did they live out their lives peacefully? Will the
Sherlock Homes of Bones succeed in this case? He’s going to give
it his best shot. After all, this is one of the last great mysteries of
the American West.

“It’s
a gripping tale of forensic detection and dramatically told: Clyde Snow
is a character to match the legends he pursues.”
Time Out
"Elegant pantomimes, visual puns and shadow plays…wonderfully
graceful, both insinuating and economical."
The Independent
"An enriching series on the making of the modern city"
