Dead or Survive

2.25 ALCATRAZ’S GREAT ESCAPE — Dead or Survive?


Listen Later

This week on Dead or Survive, Cheryl takes a different approach. It’s not a survival story — it’s a mystery: Did they survive?


In 1962, Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin pulled off one of the most daring prison breaks in history — escaping from Alcatraz and disappearing into the icy waters of the San Francisco Bay. Were they swept away by the current, or did they manage to vanish into freedom? Cheryl walks you through the escape, the FBI investigation, and the lingering clues. You decide.


Then Rob lightens the mood with cartoon-level Darwin Award winners and a reminder that if you’re planning to flee the police… maybe learn to drive stick first.
