Have you always wondered if Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin boldly escaped from Alcatraz prison on June 11, 1962? Well, wonder no more! I am on location on Alcatraz Island with author Mike Lynch and Ken Widner, nephew of the Anglin brothers.

Ken's family has been holding on to the proof that not only did they make it off the island alive, but they went on to have families of their own in Brazil.

**This week you will need to join me on my YouTube channel for a very special episode that is video only**
