The letter read “My name is John Anglin. I escaped from Alcatraz in June 1962 with my brother Clarence and Frank Morris. I’m 83 years old and in bad shape. I have cancer. Yes, we all made it that night but barely!” The letter continued, saying that  “Frank passed away in October 2008. His grave is in Argentina under another name. My brother died in 2011.”
