Officials sent the letter to an FBI lab for close examination. They checked for DNA traces on the letter, they checked for fingerprints, and they even brought in handwriting analysis experts. When the results of the examination came back, everyone was dying to hear the conclusion, but they would be disappointed. The FBI said that the results were inconclusive. No answer had been given to the impatient public.

Since the great escape, the U.S. Marshals Service has believed that it’s possible all three men survived. After the letter came out to the public in 2018, the spokesperson for the USMS said that they were under the impression that the letter was not legitimate. But they released a statement that said, “the Marshals Service has continued to investigate leads and said it will do so until the men are proven deceased, or until they turn 99.” On the contrary, when the FBI stopped their investigation, they said, “For the 17 years we worked on the case, no credible evidence emerged to suggest the men were still alive, either in the U.S. or overseas.”
