New lead in jail escape

THE FBI has reopened the cold case into three Alcatraz Prison escapees after receiving a letter claiming to be from one of the trio.

Brothers John and Clarence Anglin, along with fellow inmate Frank Morris, are believed to have died after tunnelling out of their cells and vanishing into the waters surrounding the now-defunct island penitentiary in 1962.

But The Sun reports that the prison’s iconic boast that no prisoner has ever escaped alive may now be under threat after cops were sent a mysterious letter starting: “My name is John Anglin.”
