10/01/03 Update: July 2003: Background: The story of Joaquin Murrieta's capture by Captain Love of the California Rangers and the subsequent removal of his head for proof and display purposes has been the subject of much debate. Much has been debated as to whether the real Joaquin Murrieta was captured or another Joaquin was the victim.
