Escaped Or Disappeared?
The tracks on the beach disappear and officials assume the men used makeshift floats made out of tires to swim off the island. The problem was that the current could easily have swept them into sea. But over the years there have been many eyewitness accounts of the men being sighted.
So that begs the question – did the men make it off the island alive or did the current sweep them to sea? No one can be sure until more evidence shows up.
