They then overpowered two guards, bound and gagged them and escaped out the window, leaving behind two of the four cans.

[5] In 1979 the FBI officially concluded, on the basis of circumstantial evidence and a preponderance of expert opinion, that the men drowned in the frigid waters of San Francisco Bay without reaching the mainland.
