It was the end of the letter that took everyone by surprise. John Anglin, if it was him, wrote that he was, “Living in Southern California now.” There were skeptics who claimed that a criminal who had escaped would not do such a thing – live so close to the site of his escape. But there were others who were convinced that it was a call for help as he was old and fragile then. But there was something more; there was a strange negotiation deal proposed at the end of the letter.

At the end of the letter, he wrote, “If you announce on TV that I will be promised to first go to jail for no more than a year and get medical attention, I will write back to let you know exactly where I am. This is no joke…” Nobody knew where to go with this bizarre letter and its claims, so further investigation had to be done.
