Extensive investigation had been conducted looking towards their location and apprehension. There has been no information developed indicating that these three indi- viduals were successful in reaching the shores of San Francisco Bay through the cold waters surrounding Alcatraz Island. In March, 1963, the United States Penitentiary at Alcatraz Island was discontinued and the inmates transferred to various penitentiaries throughout the United States. With the closing of Alcatraz Penitentiary the last connection of the escapees with the San Francisco territory disappeared since none of then had engaged in criminal activities in this area, nor had they resided or had relatives in this area. It is noted that the parents of the ANGLIN brothers, together with a multitude of close relatives reside in the Ruskin, Florida, area. In this connection some of their cousins residing in this area had experienced jail sentences with them and if they are alive it is believed that contacts will be had by them with their family or with close relatives residing in that area. It is noted that MORRIS is practically without relatives and has no designated place of residence. In view of the foregoing it is recommended that the Tampa Office be designated as Office of Origin in this matter so that they might continue to maintain close contact with the mem- bers of the ANGLIN family to insure the receipt of any informa- . tion indicating that the escapeeg might be alive. In this regard the nana ortice ee oh fusions“ AO a) copy of every San Francisco report and if the Bureau so desig- nates them as Office of Origin they will immediately be furnished a copy of every other report in this matter. 53.- Bureau (56 - 1 each field office) 1 - “Campa (76-276)(Info) 1 Francjsco Of MC
