In 1962, brothers John and Clarence Anglin, along with fellow
incarcerated person Frank Morris, managed to escape the one prison
in America that was supposed to be inescapable: Alcatraz. Alcatraz
is surrounded by icy waters, so the men would’ve needed a raft in
order to escape the island. When no evidence of the raft or the
three men was found, the FBI concluded that the men had drowned and

sister, Marie Anglin Widner, and U.S. Marshal Michael Dyke believe
that the brothers’ escape was actually a success. Say hello on
