"They drowned."

The evidence is offered up by the Anglins’ nephews David, 48, and Ken Widner, 54, who are featured in “Alcatraz: Search for the Truth,” a History Channel special airing Monday. The evidence has pumped life into the cold case, and has investigators lining up new interviews and planning to search South America for signs of America’s most notorious escapees.
“This is absolutely the best actionable lead we’ve had,” Art Roderick, the retired US marshal who was lead investigator on the case for 20 years, tells The Post.
The Anglin family sat on those leads for years because, they say, they were spied on and harassed by the FBI for years. But a desire to see the case solved before Marie Anglin Widner — the Widners’ mother and the escapees’ sister — passed away, combined with the cockiness of Alcatraz officials, inspired them to come forward.

Let’s see some proof.
Any guess to how much the FBI has spent looking for these guys over the last 50 years?
What were their crimes?
"They drowned."
I thought Andy Kaufman secreted them away when “He died”???
and never committed another crime
Since they escaped in 1962, the FBI probably spent maybe 5 years of monies using the antiquated stuff they used to track escapees. After that, they probably shelved it........
But to answer your question, maybe $15,487.36............
Any guess as to how much it would have cost the taxpayers to house both of these guys in prison for the last 50 years?
Not much to find out there but what I did find was that they robbed a bank in Alabama (no one shot, no one injured) and were captured several days later in Ohio.
What they had actually done was break into the Bank of Columbia and its money vault and absconded with the monies
Due to their repeated attempts to escape from jail, they were sentenced to Alcatraz...........
In my humble opinion, since the monies were recovered, the brothers served some time on Alcatraz until their escape and they've been model citizens ever since, they should be granted pardons and allowed to return home........
Due to their escape, don't forget the monies saved from not having to house them for whatever length of time they were sentenced..........
if they converted to islam, surely they will get full pardons...
Sheesh, get a life...........
Well if they did convert and have to go back to prison they wouldn’t have to be around pork. Obama administration is banning all pork, including bacon, from federal prisons.
...........Is everything in your life consumed by Islam?
FR isn't the "All Anti-Islam News Network" you seem to think it is...........
I wonder what your comments would be on a fishing thread............Sheesh!
You seem to be unaware that YOUR life is being consumed by Islam.
The no pork in federal prisons is a reality. One step of many.
Well, if my aunt had testicles she would have been my uncle.........
I never realized that FR has become an all thread equals all Islam discussion website.................
I wonder how a thread on Popeye could bring in an Islamic connection..............
The original thread was about a prison. Do a quick FR search with the word “pork”.
Yes it was, Alcatraz.........no further search necessary unless I'm looking for a thread hijacking.....If you're tossin' in the bait then I'm not biting.
