    ESCAPE from ALCATRAZ

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 9, 2022 50:35


    In June of 1962, inmates Clarence Anglin, John Anglin, and Frank Morris escaped from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, a maximum-security prison on Alcatraz Island. The FBI tracked them down for years, but were never able to find the trio — stating, decades later, that the men must have drowned in the freezing waters of the San Francisco Bay. Two young podcasters by the name of Kris Casey and Jeremy Kaplowitz, however, do not believe this is the case. And in fact, they firmly believe that if one is able to escape from Alcatraz Island and swim their way to safety, they should have all crimes against them dropped by the United States government. This the story of those three men told by those two podcasters. This is....... ESCAPE from ALCATRAZ.
