Talk:Etta Place

message: 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.

message: 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)
thread_title:  Disappearance - no evidence? 

message: 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)

message: Here's an slightly improved version of my marginally coherent summary (which may otherwise, and perhaps may as well, disappear into the bog/log of WP edit-history that is embeds the context where I added it):
: Ethel Bishop
:   It has been suggested that Place's real name was Ethel Bishop. Such a woman lived at another brothel, around the corner from Madame Porter's at 212 Concho Street.

thread_title:  Ambiguous syntax 

message: This woman's findings are entirely likely to be true, given the scenario described; the problem is, the source cited is a little... well, 'second-rate' would probably be a nice way of putting it, and there are virtually no other references to what would surely, even if only by devoted fans of the whole Butch/ Sundance thing, be a fairly major discovery. It just seems perhaps a little too much weight is placed on Donna Donnell's 'findings' if there's only one source for them.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.64.4 (talk) 14:14, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
