NARRATOR: That the letter has been officially debunked by law enforcement means one thing at least - Fred Brizzi's wild tale about seeing John and Clarence Anglin in Brazil is still very much in play. Will Brizzi's picture of the boys in Brazil hold up against scientific scrutiny? Are the two men in the picture from 1975 Alcatraz escapees John and Clarence Anglin? Facial imaging expert Michael Streed has completed his detailed analysis of the photo and has asked Roderick to join him in his lab. - I think everybody who does
some sort of forensic analysis doesn't wanna be wrong,
and I don't think in a case like this, that you, you can
be wrong, because it's not a positive ID science, but I think
the enormity of it for me was not wasting people's time, not
getting the family's hopes up or getting law enforcement
hopes up that they would still be there, because they
would have to provide a tremendous amount of resources
to reopening the case

by law enforcement means
one thing at least -
00:00:05.638 --> 00:00:07.238
Fred Brizzi's wild tale about
00:00:07.273 --> 00:00:09.707
seeing John and
Clarence Anglin in Brazil
00:00:09.742 --> 00:00:12.021
is still very much in play.

Will Brizzi's picture of the
boys in Brazil hold up
00:00:15.615 --> 00:00:17.815
against scientific scrutiny?
00:00:17.851 --> 00:00:22.022
Are the two men in the picture
from 1975 Alcatraz escapees
00:00:22.255 --> 00:00:24.489
John and Clarence Anglin?
00:00:25.692 --> 00:00:28.001
Facial imaging expert
Michael Streed has completed
00:00:28.001 --> 00:00:31.195
his detailed analysis of the
photo and has asked Roderick

not wasting people's time, not
getting the family's hopes up

or getting law enforcement
hopes up that they would
