On June 11, 1962, three inmates—Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin—vanished from their cells in Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary and made their way off “The Rock” using an ingenious homemade raft. Though their bodies were never found, neither were they seen again—leaving behind one of the greatest mysteries in American criminal history.

In today’s episode, we dive into the escape plan, the prison’s history, the massive manhunt that followed, and the theories that persist to this day. Was it a brilliant prison break… or a fatal failure?
