The Last Guard
There was one man who many thought might be able to shed light on the story. That man was Jim Albright, who was the last guard to leave Alcatraz Island when the prison closed down. He went back to visit on the 55th anniversary of the prison’s closing, and he believed that the men drowned. He said, “It depends on whether you’re talking to me or you’re talking to their mother. I believe they drowned, I really do.” If you ask him, the letter from John Anglin is just from someone trying to get cancer treatment.

Conspiracy Theories
Like any big and mysterious event, conspiracy theories have come up regarding the fate of the Alcatraz escapees. One such conspiracy, which is depicted in a film, is that the men used an electrical cord to attach themselves to a passenger ferry that left Alcatraz not long after midgnight.
