John and Clarence Anglin and Frank Morris fled from Alcatraz in 1962 and entered the legend - they were never caught, and neither of their bodies was found, so there was a real mystery about whether these three prisoners survived the escape or from here it is really impossible to get out alive.
Their story was inspired by the film of the same name, Escape from Alcatraz, with Clint Eastwood as the main role, but the whole story now got a sequel after the FBI confirmed it was re-investigating the case.
Namely, she leaked information to the public that the local police received in 2013 a handwritten letter in which John Anglin claims that all three survived.
He also describes in detail how they did it, so they pray for a settlement, which he would spend in prison for another year, and then officially became a free man.
- My name is John Anglin. I escaped from Alcatraz in June 1962 with my brother Clarence and Frank Morris. I am 83 years old, I have cancer and I'm in a bad condition. Yes, we all survived the escape, albeit barely - writes in a letter received by San Francisco police.
The letter was forwarded to the FBI, after which several tests were published, but it was not reliably established whether Anglin really wrote it or was a scam.
According to the letter, three robbers broke ventilation holes at a width sufficient for an adult man and thus escaped from jail.
The guards were deceived by making puppets, which even had human hair, so that their escape would not be immediately detected.
In order to get to the mainland, they used raincoats and life jackets, claims "Anglin".
If the letter is authentic, that bank robber lives in southern California today, while his brother died in 2011 and Frank in 2008.
- If you publicly promise on television that I will spend at least one year in jail and receive medical care, I will write again and find out exactly where I am. This is not a joke - wrote the alleged English.
The police option, however, was rejected.
"We have no reason to believe that any of the three of them have changed so much that they respect the law today," the official police official said.
All three in Alkatraz were found after repeated failed attempts to escape from prison in Atlanta.
The FBI case remains open.
