- The breakout of three inmates from Alcatraz in 1962 has been the subject of wild speculation for more than half a century. Now a handwritten letter is again raising questions about whether the men survived the frigid waters and deadly currents of San Francisco Bay. John Blackstone reports.

So their family member just said they received roses with their initials and no ones talking about it???
Kyle Riles I'm sure they received lots of "stuff." Any writing should have included finger prints/palm prints. Why not? No reasons any longer to conceal authentic proof.
Kyle Riles no one is talking about it because a family member (local) probably sent them.
They don’t want to get caught. so it’s better to keep it a secret.
To me they escaped once they hit the water
Kevin Lewis lol
True. Doesn't matter if they survived or not. They escaped. Game over.
With a homemade raft and life vests😂💯 they escaped and than some lol
@@dallasfinest5709 I don’t see anything funny
plot twist: their family members know their alive and see them often😂
Imagine he pulls up once or twice to his old cell
Other plot twist, the powers that be know they're alive and see them often, the embarrassment came from the escape itself, suits all parties 🥃
I gotta take my hat off to them if true,,. That was an incredible escape
I like to think they made it and lived long lives. They fooled everyone so they deserve it. What is the point in trying to track down an 80-90 year old who escaped over 50 years ago?
American Government is petty af
They want to find them if they did escape to make an example of then because it's pisses them off that they escaped
@@josephlatino6750 they did rob banks
@@Frozo-nt2ky so what
Isn't prison to be rehabilitation and a better person? If so they lived another 50 years with nary any trouble. I hope they got away
I believe they escaped.
A detail left out is during the funerals of their family members their was 2 oddly, overdressed, manly shaped “women” at the funeral.
I heard about that in buzzfeed unsolved
Ice Boxxer I just don't see jail birds dressing up in women's clothing and putting on nylons over shaved legs and daintily walking on high-heel shoes. Plus, you know that the FBI was watching.
I agree with you
Frank morris Was a genius
Imagine if they were actually women 💀
I hope they made it for the sake of sticking it to the man.
Seems like Clint Eastwood tried this too...He must have made it because he is still doing films.
Ur so stupid..
🤦♂️
@@yolandacervantes4060 Ever hear of humor? Idiot
Hehe yes he did so did they
Twice! Remember he and Nick Cage did it again later thwarting a criminal/terrorist plot..
They made it and police always known that, but was ashamed to confirm. Now all of them passed away, and the case is ceased. Let them free was better than arrest them and assume a escape from the most high security prison ever.
But if the family received signatures, can't they verify with an expert and compare it to old signatures to see if its really them?
They want to forget it happened an embarrassment to them
Exactly.
Exactly!
Yes they just wanted to keep their reputation that "no one escaped from Alcatraz"
They could have gone to Brazil because there’s no extradition treaty with the US, therefore if they get arrested in Brazil they don’t get send back to the US.🇧🇷
I thought that anyone that escaped Alcatraz and survived would be a free man
Just finished watching the MOVIE AGAIN for the UMPTEENTH TIME
over the years...LOVE this movie..😉
so glad this happened because its one of my favorite zombies maps
My Grandmother, uncle and aunt lived on Hyde street, just up from the Buena Vista during this time and until ‘67. You could see Alcatraz out my uncle and Grandma’s windows. As a kid, (I was born in ‘59) we were there a lot, but was never aware of this story until the movie came out in the 70s. SF has some great history.
There is a documentary about there family they did survive and lived in Brazil....
A free man can outlive a prison, as a prisoner under those horrible conditions you may not see 60
They should have offered to help him to see if he was dying from cancer and he was in fact, the person that escaped.
They didn't want to find out. It would have been humiliating for the govt to have to admit any of them made it.
A teenage girl made the swim. Surely 3 young alphas could.
wym?
For god sake the swim was never the hard part
They should have announced what he said on TV! Then we would have gotten to know weather he really escaped or not. The government just wanted to keep their reputation that "no one escaped from Alcatraz." Come on hes old and dying from cancer anyways just give him 1 year and let him go
Mythbusters made it
Wouldn’t it be funny if after writing the letter (assuming it was legitimate). That the guy created a Facebook account with his real name and current photo and the us marshal never bothered to look for him on Facebook? Lol

AmericanPride1234 Facebook boy it was 1963
AmericanPride1234 ain’t no god damn Facebook
@@diner0_T the letter was written in 2013
Whats the full name of the documentary
Of Course They Made It, With The Adrenaline To Escape & Be Free Plus Well Planned & To Top It Off, The Anglin Brothers Took A Picture Next To A Big "Rock" A Subliminal Reference To Their Accomplishment Escaping The Famous "Big Rock".. The Alcatraz Prison. History At Plain Sight.
They survived and had a long life And I know that 100%
Who knows? They could have made it. It was easier to change your identity back then. It seems unlikely all three would have stayed out of crime and not been caught later for something else though.
Well done to the 3 great brothers.god bless u.
the letter might have been genuine, which means if they had investigated more into it they might have found out the truth what happened after they escaped now it’s been 10 years since letter was received and if john did have cancer it’s very likely he’s gone now and the case will never get answers
All the evidence suggests to me that they made it. If they had drowned in the ocean then how comes their bodies have never been found?
They beat the system
I believe that was one of them,coz if it would be a pranker he would send another one to newspaper or any other mass media a 100%
That is a excellent point!!!!
You can guarantee at least one of them would have done the tour of alcatraz years later to see the cell and stuff once it became a tourist attraction 😅
There had to have been other boats on the island itself for guards and other work personnel, to travel to, and from the island, because they can’t leave those workers deserted without transport. With that being said, I think they staged their failed escape to throw guards off. This was likely a last minute change of plan.
I just seen a deathbed confession on Vudu that they had help, a self typed letter from a nurse claiming she cared for the man who took their life.
I truly believe they made it.
Anybody could have wrote that
They made it
The evidence as iv gathered over the years are that the fbi never stopped looking for them. They showed up at the funeral where two very tall manly woman were in attendance. The women talked to no one and left. The night of the esacape nearly an hour after the suspected time they escaped a car was stolen on the mainland by 3 men. This car just so happened to be near the shore closest to the island. The mother recieved roses for years with a letter signed by names she had never heard of and the letters supposedly had a signature mark on them to represent the men who escaped. The handwritten letter even though considered to be fake by the police was kept a secret and the physical document was kept in storage. They escaped. They lived. And john tried to exchange healthcare for the chance to reveal this but what he didnt consider was that the police were embarrassed by the escape and therefore never revealed himself. I think he watched his brother die and knew he was dying and he became desperate.
Jack Morris was my father's real name, He stayed in the US the brothers made it to Brazil .My father is dead now but survived under a false name, with everyone thinking he was dead, no one was looking for him. An with help from the Mob he got a New SS number that he later found out belonged to a dead baby.., He changed his hair color, grew a thick beard and wore glasses. That's all it took to live without anyone ever questioning him...Dont believe me I dont care.I look just like that mugshot of him. Need more proof..He told me they made it to Angel island where a car was left for them, That escape was very well planed for months and months, it was an inside and outside job.....R.I.P Dad
I love how you Called him Jack Morris and clearly your name in your profile doesn’t say Morris
Lol nice tru

Yes they made it for sure they were really smart well only god knows.
I'm happy they escaped and made it
I would turn myself in and get the medical treatment l need while giving their escape proof prison a middle finger.
South Beach Miami Art very true at 83 he won already what would it hurt to turn himself in now especially with having medical problems
South Beach Miami Art makes more sense (BTW, I'm up the coast at Hallandale Beach). If urgent care was needed, at that late stage and age, no "agreement" was needed--only medical care. The remaining life would not be spent outside the hospital--prison or otherwise.
South Beach Miami Art health care (here in the U.S.) trumps all other concerns. This is precisely the case with Ronnie Biggs (Great Train Robbery) then living also in Brazil. He returned to the U.K. for medical care.
Anyone know how to read that I can’t read it someone get back to me cause I really want to know what it says
Yes3. They make it.
What about the other people who escaped Alcatraz whose bodies were never found. Why do these guys get so much attention but the others never do? Lucky for them I guess if they made it.
They didn't make it. There have been several attempts with world class athletes to escape from Alcatraz with the same equipment the three had. None of them even can close, the currents were waaaaay too strong and eventually the paddles broke and the rafts fell apart. So if well trained athletes couldn't make it, you really think those three (without wet suits) could pull it off? no way.
Absolutely right
I just watched 3 different documentaries on this story.. Well trained athletes HAVE made it off the island.. Also, the Anglin Brothers would swim in Lake Michigan, which is freezing, as younger men.. In one of these films, it is mentioned that if they had drowned, at least 2 of 3 bodies would have been found.. There is much more evidence that they DID survive than not
Well trained athletes don't have the same mind set as a locked up man trying to be free
I’m calling BS on the “well trained” athletes. Iron man types and triathletes do things ten times harder than that. If they tried it once and failed then I wouldn’t call it case closed based on one data point. Months of planning and knowing the currents and tides would help. The thought of being hung in the morning is a powerful motivator.
The Mythbusters did it.
Freedom from oppression....
Hii they are dead bc I search it this website so one of them had cancer ofc John n his brother is dead too 2-24-18
John anglin and his brother and frank Morris all three are living somewhere in mexico up in the mountains..
YEAH I AM GLAD U GUYS ESCAPED ,DON'TCOME BACK FOOL
Men who did so much to get out of that prison would not be stopped by the forces of Nature but instead would be welcomed by them
You know at some point they shouldve just exponged all charges, dropped all investigations and see if they came foward
Back in those day's cops were out numbered ! Barely any security! They got away and im positive of it ! It was easy to drift back in those day's w out any attention
I really believe that they really made it at that time and the letter was real too.
no one with cancer at age 83 is volunteering to go back to prison BET THAT
people i met through life got caught some 3o years later some dead, some 50 years alive , they never exsisted from going out of hole ,comeone everyone if only you know about you you ain t gone
I with those who believe they escaped the ages are 88 89 and 93
They made it! they ask thier Uncle and he said Pulled out!
I love to see the bad guys win
The FBI wasn't certain they were swept out to sea. They had agents at the Englin’s mothers funeral.
Kurt Vonfricken it’s Anglins’
They all made it! The government know this! But they won't tell us this! We will know the government miss up!
They escaped but at what cost?
They MADE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course they made it to(freedom)shore,in those years,it was easy to "blend" in the crowd....
They made it,once they escaped the prison they had an elaborate and brilliant plan once they hit the bay’s water.
I believe they survived.
Why didn't he leave some fingerprints in ink on the note if real? Would have sealed the deal.
Jay Toor absolutely, nothing authenticates like finger-palm prints. And, why not?
Jay Toor they didn’t have their fingerprints on file maybe? So it wouldn’t have done anything?
Jay Toor my thinking, exactly. No reason to hide his identity at this phase. Plus, we can imagine how many bogus claims the FBI received. A document hand written with palm and finger prints would seal the deal.
They made it on a another boat then flied out of the country with a mafioso
ua-cam.com/video/jkyxnr6C2vQ/v-deo.htmlsi=ZAtV_-qg7EKOlK5V
they made it
Not one of them ever got in trouble w the law again is hard for me to swallow, with nobody to help and no $$$ car or house it just seems tough that they led a straight life after and never got in trouble. That’s ware I start to believe they drowned
CAN they just very heavily fly on us if they are alive and say where they are
They did not escape, the letter is b/s, anyone could of wrote that letter this s all b/s. These were three habitual criminals who if they did survive would of just committed more crimes and gotten caught, they always got caught.
I proud of them they made it, farnak morries just robot
Could be a fake letter
Lol they did survive obviously and who TH were the 2 “women” at the funeral no one knew they said they wore a bunch of make up and had the body of a guy I just think that frank Morris and anglin brothers split apart after the escape which is sad but...
It was believed to be the Anglin Brothers in disguise attending their mother’s funeral.
It's an illegal but I don't know why everyone seems to in favor with them (escapee) including me.
Just a cool thing to believe people escaped this prison
Mark Toms yes, we tend to root for someone taking on "The System."
Because its insane to think these people actually escaped the "inescapable prison"
Because the real criminals are out and about and are the people we elect into office
Amores perros
Obviously they made it. Frank morris was a genius with an iq of 130+ and the Anglin brothers were near pro level swimmers who used to swim in ice waters all the time. They were destined to succeed
This is when touch DNA needs to show up plain simple.
Here in philippines 3x a day escape. Haha
This video explains a lot more into detail: ua-cam.com/video/Sb0bFmWb7Ss/v-deo.html
Si se ahogaron o no si c escaparon eso siiii
Woke
no way they survived, they all drowned, no way they could survive the cold water
They made a raft idiot.
he chit, FYI....there is events where people swim in freezing cold icy waters for up to 21 miles without wetsuits, just bathing suits. And the Anglin brothers were expert swimmers. Plus two tv shows have proved the cold water swim, as well as using a raft( like the escapees) could be done.
They used the shark as a surfing board 😂🤣😂
PS well, not so fast. They end up on shore in only their bathing suit?

They actually never made it sorry to spoil it but they did not make it FACT
I mean no one really knows. And tbh it seems like there are more evidence that they did make it.
Dude they literally made it
You got anything to back that up?
U fbi shame on u all.fail to do yr work.
That’s the government for ya never doing anything for anyone else other than themselves
They made it
