To those interested, this video was originally created to appear on an episode of The Haunted Saloon, an internet TV show produced by my friend Terry "Ike" Clanton, a descendent cousin of Ike Clanton of OK Corral fame. A large number of my friends are interested in old west history and we visit Tombstone regularly. The death of Johnny Ringo is one of the popular mysteries that remain unsolved today, with many theories that attempt to explain how he died with his gun belt on upside down, his feet wrapped in a torn undershirt, his boots hung on the saddle of his horse that was found miles away, the gun found nearby not the gun he was known to carry, and other weird circumstances. Will we ever know what exactly happened? Probably not. Circumstance indicates that he either committed suicide or was murdered by Buckskin Frank Leslie. Wyatt Earp claimed that he and Doc Holliday did the deed but that is highly unlikely. Perhaps this information will answer the questions some people have regarding this video.

Great video, but I've always wondered about something. If they were to exhume Ringo's body, couldn't they use modern forensic techniques to address the question? Certainly they could determine the caliber of the bullet that killed him, and the precise direction the bullet traveled, which would reveal a lot. If any of his hair survives, couldn't they determine his blood alcohol level? And I think it's also possible that if Ringo pulled the trigger, there might be traces of powder on his skull. I think it would be worth the effort to exhume his body, for exactly these reasons.

I doubt that much of Ringo's body would remain today, other than a skeleton. His body was dumped into a quickly dug grave just a few feet from that tree. At the time his body was discovered, he had been exposed to the sun or a day or two and his face was burned black, according to those who investigated the scene. There is a theory that he was first shot with a rifle and that the killer(s) then propped his body up onto the tree and used his gun to shoot a separate bullet through the same bullet hole in his skull in order to make it look like suicide. Perhaps an examination of his skull might prove or disprove that theory.

Thanks for the response! I visited John Ringo's grave just a couple of weeks ago, and I'm fascinated by "The Gunfighter Who Never Was." Certainly nothing would be left but a skeleton. I doubt he was put in a coffin, nor buried especially deep. But traces of his hair might remain. I'm sure it will never happen, but I think a forensic examination of his remains would be fascinating!

I grew up in the 1930s back east listening to old timers and i mean old timers aged from 60 to 100+ years. Stories they told of their experiences in the east, west during the civil war and indian fights were fantastic and educational and about 90% of them factually verified later by historians and archaeologists. You can learn a lot more when hearing things from people who personally experienced them is more interesting than reading someone's perspective of the event. I was blessed to encounter these old timers and couldn't get enough of their knowledge. From the day i was old enough to understand things I've always looked forward to listening to old timers stories regardless of who they were or the story they told. If kids today took the opportunity to listen to the experiences of old timers they would be much better off.

Just the fact that Ringo was shot once in the head tells me that he probably shot himself. It's hard to believe anyone in the Earp faction would have found him alone in the wild and only shot him once, and the same goes for any of the men who had a real grudge against him. Add this to the fact that he witnessed his own father shoot himself in the head and this seems even more certain.

I had read in a book a few years back when I was in Cimmaron, New Mexico, staying at the St James Hotel. That Johnny Ringo had just bought a 2,500 acre ranch in partnership with Ike Clanton on the Arizona/ New Mexico border. It said there were court records and deed filings. A new business venture makes suicide seem unlikely to me.

@@loj1k829 That is absolutely not true. "Huckleberry" is in the original screenplay. It is an old Southern expression, originally something of an insult but later simply meaning "guy" or "man" as in "I'm your guy." Glenn Ford uses a similar phrase in a 1950's western - "Let's go have a talk with that huckleberry."

My money is on Leslie. He had opportunity and motive. The gun with Ringo was also incosistent with what he normally carried but it was correct in being the type that Leslie carried. Billy Claibourne did claim that Buckskin Frank killed Ringo, so there's that. Leslie never claimed to do it. You'd think it would be in his favor to say that he did, except for the fact that there were still Plenty of the cowboy faction around to which Johnny was a memeber. Frank wasn't afraid to kill someome. It wasn't his first trip around that block. ;)

From what I've read about John Ringold he was most likely shot from a long distance, rifle distance, because he was really fast with his pistols and just anyone wasn't going to take him. The flap of skin on his temple is most likely the result of the bullet coming out sideways or keyhole.

You have bought into the false "Hollywood" narrative that all famous gunmen and mankillers were quick-draw artists, which is bs ! There were no fast-draw wizards ! Do the research, ,plenty of books with photos of the time that show hoglegs were worn high on the waist, in big holsters that swallowed the sixgun. You ain't gonna speed draw from such a rig ! As Wyatt Earp said , "the real killers who pulled a gun , took their time , in a hurry." Another good source of how guns were worn is the "Who Wore What in the American West" site.

The Dec. 14, 1879, edition of the Arizona Daily Star stated: “Last Tuesday a shooting took place at Safford in which Louis Hancock was shot by Johnny Ringo. It appears Ringo wanted Hancock to take a drink of whiskey, and refused, saying he would prefer beer. Ringo then struck him over the head with his pistol and fired, the ball taking effect in the lower end of the ear and passing through the fleshy part of his neck. Half an inch more in the neck would have killed Hancock. Ringo is under arrest.”

I'm gonna go with Doc Holiday. He just had a good alibi. If you killed someone and was speculated, you best believe to say you were out of town when it happened.

I bet if you born back then but knew what life would be like now you wouldn't want to be there. You would much rather live in these times rather than back then, life then was a hard life that's why life expectancy is so much longer now than then. I grew up in W Pa. In the 40's & 50's. Take my word for it going to an outsider in the middle of a harsh winter is something I don't wish on anyone but enemies or people I don't like very much.

I think Johnny Ringo did kill himself. If someone shot him they would brag about it and there wouldn’t be any question. Boys can’t keep a damn secret like that to save their lives. Johnny was a deep thinker and had a troublesome life. He had just spent days drinking and his depression overwhelmed him. Let him rest in peace ❤

The main discrepancy in the theory that Doc or Wyatt couldn't have done it is, that he was last seen on the 11th, so that would leave them two and half days, not one day. Not that I think either of them did, but there's no time of death, so he could have been killed any time between the 11th and the 13th.

I don't believe that Johnny Ringo was quite prepared to find himself mentioned in the same breath as Doc Holliday or Wyatt Earp. He always strikes me as that throw away character authors use to give the protagonist something to do while the larger story is fleshed out. This is not to say that Johnny Ringo didn't bring plenty to the table as he certainly did, in his time and in his way and he definitely had an impact on Wyatt and Doc, but WE can see now what others couldn't see then, that the story was about Wyatt and Doc and could be told without the introduction of Johnny Ringo, whereas the story of Johnny Ringo needs Doc and Wyatt if he is to have any story at all.

I find it..implausible that given the environment of the time that someone will drop Ringo with a rifle and THEN pack up the body, haul it several miles to the spot, and THEN go the additional trouble to prop him up like he committed suicide. That would serve no purpose-at all. This is all supposition, 3rd hand stories and speculation.

We may never know who for sure, but Ringo was killed by someone and most believe it was Frank Leslie. It is recorded that there was no powder burn on the side of his face. This would've been a certainty with cartridges containing black powder. He had to have been shot from a distance.

I remember reading (1) a relative of Earp remembered him and Holiday laughing about killing Ringo and staging the body; (2) I also remember reading that the weapon was hanging from the gun belt, by the hammer closed, like it was cocked, stuck on the belt so the hammer fell on the leather and the gun hung there. I've read many speculations fanned by writers who got paid by the word. True West is no longer a reliable source since it was sold, went slick papered, full of ads, and the writers don't list bibliographies. Secondly, I don't believe that dead tree has lasted nearly 150 yrs!
