Has anyone heard about the FBI receiving a letter or card from Frank Morris, who was played by Clint Eastwood in the movie, "Escape From Alcatraz?" I was speaking with another retired Trooper just a few days ago and he was telling me that he had read in one of the supermarket tabloids that the FBI had received a letter from Frank Morris stating that he and the Anglin Brothers (John and Clarence) were successful in their escape. He said that Frank is 92, (I think), and has cancer. He has offered to turn himself in and tell his story, if the government promises not to jail him for more than one year and to treat his cancer. The FBI has been unable to document the handwriting as actual.
My friend also said that he (Frank) was living in North or South Dakota for several years before returning to southern California. I haven't been able to find anything on the internet about it, so I am thinking that this may be just some gossip or a story made up to sell papers. Whatever, truth or fiction, I find this to be interesting.
