Death or 99
The U.S. Marshal Service always believed that the three men survived their escape from Alcatraz. However, a spokesperson said that they didn’t believe the letter was authentic or legitimate. “The Marshals Service has continued to investigate leads and said it will do so until the men are proven deceased, or until they turn 99,” a statement said. While the FBI stopped their investigation much sooner, “For the 17 years we worked on the case, no credible evidence emerged to suggest the men were still alive, either in the U.S. or overseas.”
