The Alcatraz Escape: What We Know vs. What’s a Myth

The Alcatraz escape mystery: what the evidence really shows about how three men escaped America's most notorious prison in 1962 — and whether they survived. Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin vanished from Alcatraz on June 11, 1962. The FBI believes they drowned. Their family says they didn't. In this video, we separate what is proven from what is only possible, using the FBI case file, the 2014 Delft University ocean-current study, and the items recovered from the bay. You'll learn how the inmates widened their vents with spoons and a vacuum-motor drill, built a raft from more than 50 raincoats, and left dummy heads in their beds. We also cover the paddle and life vests found near Angel Island, the 2013 "John Anglin" letter, the 2015 Brazil photo, and why the Alcatraz escape mystery has never been officially solved. Did they survive, or did the bay take them? Tell me in the comments, and subscribe for more true crime mysteries explained with real evidence.
