Brothers John and Clarence Anglin and Frank Morris disappeared into the night and have never been found – leading many to believe they drowned.

But a handwritten letter, reportedly sent to authorities in 2013 but only made public this week, suggests that at least one of the men, John Anglin, may still be alive.

The FBI says this is the most recent piece of evidence that forced the agency to reopen the iconic cold case. The letter was sent to the San Francisco Police Department’s Richmond station in 2013.

On June 11, 1962, Morris and the Anglin brothers – all bank robbers – made their cunning escape.
