Episode 004: Alcatraz Escape: Frank Morris, John and Clarence Anglin
On June 11, 1962, Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin made a daring escape from the infamous maximum security federal prison, Alcatraz. Even today, it remains a mystery of if they survived and made it to freedom or drowned in the San Francisco Bay. Join us as we discuss how the three men were able to pull off this daring escape as well as our theories around what happened after they breached the prison walls.
