New Evidence Shakes Long-Closed Investigation

A 2015 History Channel documentary presented compelling evidence that the infamous siblings, John and Clarence, might have survived their dangerous ordeal. Years after their disappearance, their family began receiving Christmas cards penned in handwriting strikingly similar to the brothers’, though the exact timing of these cards remained unverified.

Further intensifying the mystery, a photograph surfaced, purportedly showing the brothers alive in Brazil in 1975. Forensic experts meticulously analyzed the image and ultimately declared it more than likely to be authentic, suggesting the Anglin brothers had indeed managed to elude capture and forge a new life far from their prison cells.
