On a cold June night in 1962, Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin vanished from Alcatraz, America’s most secure prison, using a handmade raft crafted from raincoats. Their daring escape stunned the nation — and for decades, their fate remained one of history’s greatest mysteries.
The FBI declared they drowned, but no bodies were ever found. Then, in 2013, a letter surfaced claiming the men survived, and in 2018, AI analysis of a 1975 photo from Brazil suggested the Anglin brothers were alive.
If true, the “unbreakable” Alcatraz was broken — and the men who escaped it may have lived free for decades, turning legend into reality.
