Death Or 99

Since the great escape, the U.S. Marshals Service has believed that it’s possible all three men survived. After the letter came out to the public in 2018, the spokesperson for the USMS said that they were under the impression that the letter was not legitimate. But they released a statement that said, “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.” On the contrary, when the FBI stopped their investigation, they said, “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.”

It was KPIX, a local station in San Francisco that published the letter and they couldn’t tell where it came from. The U.S. Marshals then responded by saying, “There is absolutely no reason to believe that any of them would have changed their lifestyle and become completely law-abiding citizens after this escape.” Considering that it was the Marshals who left the case open, unlike their FBI counterparts, a lot can be trusted from their statements. We must wonder if we’ll ever get to the bottom of this.
