Book Description
With a virtually nonexistent southern border and crime rampant across much of the country, the notoriously brutal MS 13 organization is spreading its tentacles throughout most of the major US cities and into the suburbs. When law enforcement is unable, and often hampered by political pressure, to handle the increase in violent criminal activity, a solution must be found before the country descends into chaos. Black Water is ultimately called in to resolve the problem in ways that would be totally unacceptable to law enforcement and the majority of the nation’s law abiding citizens. After a year of planning, Jim Lashley is tasked with eradicating their activities in El Paso, Texas. Even using the latest in technology to track the MS 13 members, Jim and his team soon find that they cannot complete their operation until the streets are running red with the blood of the gang.

Book Description
The central event is the contract murder of Thomas Lyons, the owner of the largest ranch in the United States in 1917. Lyons' ranch was in Grant County, New Mexico, and he was lured to EL Paso on business and murdered there. Only the hit man was convicted, although his co-conspirators were identified and obviously guilty. A motive for the crime was never asserted. After the hit man was convicted, the case was officially closed as unsolved. It was quickly forgotten and for nearly 100 years no one realized what had actually happened and who the co-conspirators really were.The murder created a sensation in El Paso, and over the course of the investigation, arrests, and court proceedings, the case drew more courtroom spectators than any case in the history of the city—even to the present day. The El Paso Morning Times and the competing El Paso Herald covered the case extensively, publishing about 140 articles about it in the nine months it took to convict the hit man. Strangely, two co-conspirators who were obviously guilty and who were indicted with the hit man were dismissed before the end of the case, and a third co-conspirator was never indicted. After the conviction of the hit man the case was closed and not another word about it was published, even though no one denied that it was a conspiracy-to-murder case, and there was no excuse for dismissing the two men who escaped. The dismissed men and the unindicted co-conspirator were described in the newspapers as prominent cattlemen. The widow of the victim, who had been so actively engaged in pursuit of justice, strangely announced that she would not pursue the case further after the hit man was convicted.So the case was filed away and forgotten for nearly 100 years. In 2011 I discovered this case while tracing the lives of two of the individuals who were indicted in the case. These two men had been members of the murder-for-hire organization formed by the Old West assassin, “Deacon” Jim Miller. When Miller was lynched in April 1909, it was generally assumed that the omnipresent false witnesses he called in his trials just disappeared from history at that time. However, here they were as co-conspirators in a spectacular contract murder eight years later, and nobody seemed to realize who they really were. And their identity remained unknown until I uncovered the case.Last Train to El Paso presents an in-depth forensic study of the case and unravels the tangled web that was so expertly spun by the principals involved.

Cold Case: The Assassination of Pat Garrett
Author: W.C. Jameson
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 149304589X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Investigating History's Mysteries The assassination of Sheriff Pat Garrett, one of the most notorious lawmen of the American West, remained one of the most puzzling and perplexing unsolved mysteries for more than a century. As a result of sophisticated forensic analysis of the historical crime scene, as well as the discovery of new evidence, the mystery has been solved. Most know Pat Garrett as the self-proclaimed slayer of the outlaw, Billy the Kid, on the night of July 14, 1881, in Fort Sumner, New Mexico. The event propelled Garrett into regional and national headlines and generated a momentum that led the lawman to consider seeking higher political offices. Garrett's plans were thwarted by his self-destructiveness, however. In spite of his notoriety, he was a bumbling lawman, a debtor, an alcoholic, an adulterer, and addicted to gambling. After being removed from his position as sheriff, he retired to a ranch in Uvalde, Texas, only to be summoned back to New Mexico to investigate the disappearance of Colonel Albert Jennings Fountain. In this pursuit, he failed once again. Garrett's downward spiral created a sense of desperation in the lawman, and his continuing difficulties caused him to lose what few friends he had and generate numerous enemies. In time, his enemies had had enough of him and decided he had to go.
