"Was this the guy who crawled away from the plane wreck, struggled through the swamp, then made it to some guy's house, where the guy shot him?"

That was Pyle. Pyle claimed in a much later radio interview that he was shot in the shoulder but there has been no medical verification. A farmer disputes Pyle's story and says he shot a warning shot in the air as two or three of them emerged out of the woods (Billy was still at the crash site).

I heard him tell the story on Howard Stern many years ago. He did say he was shot in the shoulder. It was a crazy story. He said he wasn't mad at the farmer, because he came crawling out of the swamp all bloody and covered in mud and spooked the guy.
