What About Their Families?
The nephews of John and Clarence Anglin testified to CBS about the fact that their grandmother received bouquets of roses addressed to her from John and Clarence starting roughly seven years after the infamous escape. They did not believe that someone was playing a cruel trick on them. They are also not the only ones who believe that the letters came from the brothers...
The Family is Revolted
Despite their nephew's outspokenness, the FBI chose not to disclose any information about the letter until it was far too late. The family was disgusted that the letter was not given to them or anyone else who was willing to help.
