Did the Inmates Who Escaped Alcatraz Survive?

- Sixty years ago, three Alcatraz inmates pulled off the impossible: they broke out. Now, new age-progressed images of the convicted bank robbers could crack wide open the puzzling mystery. The escapees made papier-mâché heads with human hair to trick guards into believing they were sleeping in their cells. In 1979, the FBI declared the men drowned in the frigid waters of the San Francisco Bay. However, the case was reopened after a letter was reportedly written by one of the escapees.
Honestly I think that they should just be pardoned. Successfully escaping Alcatraz and evading capture for decades is an astonishing feat
Not worthy of a pardon. 🤦♂️
@@Cm-lp4mu this life robs most of us by not paying us enough money in jobs, they never killed anyone, so They should just leave it alone
Yeah Alcatraz was notorious for all kinds of abuse and human rights violations, So the fact they escaped an illegal prison like that, I say "time served"
@@Cm-lp4mu what if their crimes were light though? What if the prison was worse than them
@@user-qk3sm5sz2x If they had light crimes, I seriously doubt they'd be held at Alcatraz.
The intelligent way to go about this would be to give John Anglin amnesty and free medical attention in exchange for his story of how they planned and executed their escape.
yepppp
Yes, then throw them back in jail when they least expect it
“The intelligent way” “amnesty”….so you want to reward criminals? There’s nothing intelligent in what you just wrote.
Exactly. Their escape is now part of history and the landmark which is Alcatraz. Many of us want to hear their story before they die
@@matulee3997 We help him with some issues then he tells us how they did it so we can prevent it from ever happening again. Pretty smart and simple. Both parties gain and in the governments case they would gain more then the criminals.
As I remember hearing the story growing up, they escaped, but the police said that they had drowned, in part to protect the reputation of Alcatraz as an escape proof prison and partly to prevent panic amongst the people of San Francisco. The following mother's day, the brothers mother received a bouquet of flowers and every mothers day after that. When their mother died, two 'uncommonly large' women attended the funeral. They stayed in the back, dressed completely in black wth the obligatory hat and veils, ( as was customary in the day) so no one could clearly see their faces and they left as soon as someone approached them. Did they survive? I like to think that they did and then they did the sensible thing and stayed out of trouble.
That last statement spoke volumes in my opinion. They had enough common sense to never get in trouble again I'm pretty sure the people. Lived out the rest of their days trying to make sure they didn't get in any trouble. Truthfully after so many years I say let him go it was a bank robbery.
Typical lying police.
Unlike Saul Goodman lmao
Imagine telling the world that these guys didn’t make it just because they couldn’t catch them.

Of course they survived. Frank Morris had a high IQ and I’m sure he was aware of the frigid water and the deep currents. He knew exactly when to execute the plan.
If it comes out that they successfully made it out and ended up living their life’s in Brazil then salute to them. At that point you can only congratulate them. Their story would make for a fire movie 😭😭

I been to San Francisco many times and stared at that prison and the overall ocean and I personally think they drowned and got swept into the Pacific Ocean . Many bodies have drowned in oceans and never been found .
If you escape Alcatraz in the middle of the night with a raft made of raincoats you have earned your freedom.
Exactly what I’m saying.
Agreed
Its not Squid games its real life
@@anonymlulz8273 squid games wasn’t based off prison stupid. We can say this isn’t the maze runner too but that’d be retarded too
I agree
If they've been escaped and stayed out of trouble all these years, just leave them be. Throwing 90+ years old men in prison isn't going to serve any purpose. If they made it public they had no intention to arrest them anymore, maybe one of them could come out of hiding if they actually survived and this mystery could be put to rest.
If theybwere younger than 60 would it make sense to put them back in jail? Or any age?
YES THEY DID SURVIVE. The two brothers lived in Ruskin Florida. They contacted their family to let them know that they were OK. I herd this from an 87 year old man in South Bay Hospital. He was very sick with sepsis. My late wife was in the hospital at the same time. May she rest in piece. This was about 6 years ago when I heard the story. Personally I was glad to hear that those people survived that escape.

lol your relatives had too much vodka
🌽
Yes they were from Ruskin Florida I wish they would just come forward and tell their stories!!!
When John Anglin sent that letter 9 years ago, they should’ve pardoned him then. If he was already bad off with cancer, more than likely he is still not alive now. It would have been great to hear his story about what happened when they made it to the water and then eventually to the shore. They were in Alcatraz for armed bank robbery, and I’m not saying that’s okay, but they could’ve committed much worse crimes. At least we would’ve finally knew the truth!!
@thenewshmoo was it you? 😂
@thenewshmoo maybe similar handwriting... just guessing though
Being sick means you should get a free ride for your crimes?
Exactly!

Wow, not only did two of these men allegedly survive the escape. They also managed to relocate to Brazil?! If that's true then somebody needs to make a movie.
It reminds me of red dead redemption
I been to San Francisco many times and stared at that prison and the overall ocean . When you see the scenery in person you would quickly come to the conclusion that theres no way a homemade raft could survive those vicious waters and lets not even bring up the idea of them swimming to shore because that theory is even more ridiculous.

@@decker6239 that’s the entire point of hiding
You don’t speak
Honestly, if they did survive and they haven’t been committing any murders or crimes which would then let law enforcement know they’re alive....just leave them alone. Bravo to them
I feel like they should just be pardoned. It’s an incredible escape story.
There was evidence one of their mothers was contacted after.
I think they got out alive
Yeah I once read one of their mothers used to get flowers from an unknown source every year on mother's day/Her Birthday till she passed.
@@attila-man and two, buff looking women in heavy makeup showed up to the mom's funeral. They disappeared before the FBI agents could talk to them.
Oh wow! I hadn’t heard of the flowers or funeral details. I’m glad they never forgot about their mom!
@@spencerdoi I read about that quite a while back. I think law enforcement doesn't believe they survived, because they can't handle admitting defeat.

This story is fascinating. How likely would it be to not find one of the three bodies if they had died? And I guess if they did survive that escape they probably would have been able to live undetected….. aaah, the age before social media, facial recognition, etc
I saw a recreation of the escape a few years ago on television. The conclusion was that they could have made it, but conditions needed to be perfect and the timing impeccable. Otherwise they would have been swept out to sea with the tide. They did find a few things on an island in the bay, suggesting that they made it that far, but no bodies were ever found. Maybe they did make it.

They probably just said they drown because it's an obvious thing that might happen, but to also protect the public from drama, and Alcatraz's "reputation" or have people questioning it because it's the most known jail and supposedly "unbreakable."
Well....there was a report of a stolen car right after..

The FBI is not interested in finding them only in crushing any discussion that they may have survived the escape.
I love how the FBI just refuses to admit defeat. We could of heard a legendary story after that letter but the FBI needs the public to think they have complete control and if someone escapes prison they will be captured
Just leave em alone bruh. They either long gone or they done already served their time by being in hiding for years.
Lmao
honestly lol. they're both 90 years old and i doubt anybody would ever call the police on 90 year olds just bc they look like these guys
They’ll still be arrested for escaping the prison. So.
@@eathealthykalefood2388 that was years ago
@@Justcatc it don’t matter. They’ll still be arrested if they come back to the States.
One of those situations where if they figured all that out and survived then they deserve to be free.
They don't
¹¹
Considering they were in the highest security prison... no
Even if they were a child rapist?
All depends on what they're crimes were in my opinion. Honestly if man should be jailed for killing another man than the entire royal family, north America as a whole and the entire world should be held responsible for what they did.
Every 10 or so years this keeps coming back up.
Recently, I heard about an inmate with a stutter who died in prison before he was able to finish his sentence.
In Singapore, we had a similar incident back in 2008 when convicted terrorist Mas Selamat escaped a prison by turning on the tap of the prison toilet to trick the guards into thinking that he is washing his hands, while he climbed out of the window and walked to the straits of Johor to swim all the way to Johor, Malaysia. So basically the whole world started to trace him and feared that he went to the middle east to meet with al qaeda but Singaporeans speculated that he drowned while swimming across the sea. But a few years later, Malaysian authorities arrested him in a house in a village located in... Johor, Malaysia. He was then extradited back to Sg where he is still incarcerated as of today.
and don't forget he walked with a limp as well
Fellow Singaporean here. And yep…he was quick and eluded capture from our authorities for so long.

@@dq8262I can just imagine them saying that to the judge “ it was only robbery and narcotics and stuff like that.”

@@King_Is_Jesus No, I’m saying it’s been over 60 years, what’s the point of taking them back to prison now. Of course when they were first charged I’m glad they were found guilty but there’s no point in taking them back to prison.
Why don't the authorities just leave it well enough alone! It's been 65 + years ago! Why would you want to throw a 90-year-old man in jail for a crime that took place seven decades ago! Just a waste of taxpayers' money if you'd ask me!
I ask the same question why the Germans still imprison nearly 100 year old former SS officers.
@@winchesterchua7600 me too, half of them probably didn’t know what was going on or at least couldn’t do much about it, and it was probably good pay for them
I personally believed they survived the escape. There have also been mysterious figures (disguised) being present in these prisoners' family/relative's funerals.

They definitely made it and were smart enough to not reveal that they did for all these years. FBI suggesting they “drowned” makes a perfect cover story for them lol
I firmly believe atleast one of them survived because he supposedly he was mailing letters to his parents under a very clever alias & and the family members did a very good job keepings there mouths shut and using tactics to keep the law guessing of where he fled too
They already de-bunked that.
@@buddahg5611nah, the cops supposedly "debunked" that theory but its still possible, the law just say they cleared that speculation to save themselves from the embarrassment of how long they'd been fooled and failed

@@buddahg5611 lol id like to believe it because in the interrogations and interviews the family members where very reluctant and couldnt persway them the lightest bit into saying a single word , so they where def hiding something, take a look into it do some research then let me know your opinion after, its an interesting read
@@houseviceroy I’ll definitely look more into it, I haven’t really been on the topic lately since I watched the show they had couple years ago. But definitely comment back once I do so.
Could you imagine being caught this many years later due to some anniversary of your escape
Very cool story, and yes, the three men did escape. On an episode of Mythbusters where the crew did an episode of Alcatraz, and they discovered that it was possible to escape. Where they left is still entirely TBD.
However, the reason why they never said anything is because they're technically still escaped convicts, I mean, they broke out of prison when they should have served time. And I heard that if they were caught, they can still get sent to prison. Just saying on what I heard.
sending skeletal remains to prison at this point

@@jalenmcentyre1880 good ole humans …

What if they committed crimes after escaping? Both inside and outside statute of limitations.
They have been arrested for robbing banks.

i went to alcatraz cellhouse in april of this year, and i went to the cellhouse tour and it was very interesting and the reasons why they ended up there
honestly at this point if i see any of them i'm not snitching. they sure as hell earned that freedom
For one thing Alcatraz was a brutal place to do time. and secondly their crimes that they committed back then didn't have to be much to be sent there if they survived they earned it. good for you three enjoy the rest of your lives. By today's standards Alcatraz was hell on Earth.
What made it brutal? I went there last year and it seems because it's so isolated maybe that can make it scary. The prisoners were fed well (better food than other prisons) and got to eat as much food as they wanted. The only thing I saw that may have been brutal was the small cells, beds, toilets and sinks. It's an old, outdated prison so things were smaller back then. No executions took place there either. Ironic thing about Alcatraz is in the movie The book of Eli, the protagonist ends up there at the end.
adx florence is more brutal
san pedro
and other messed up prisons
Criminals from Nowadays would be caught because they would post something on social that they got out.

A similar case happened in which those escaped fools recorded themselves and posted it online.

Frank Morris reportedly ranked in the top 2% of the general population in intelligence, as measured by IQ testing (133). Those men were smart! Never underestimate the power of determination. They definitely survived, made it out alive and live a lowkey life.
I know they were criminals but something about the potential of the human mind overcoming seemimgly impossible challenges makes me empathize with them... I hope this story is true!
And they kept their mouths shut!
Frank Morris was smart, but he was probably book smart. The crimes that got him sent to jail, especially the one that would eventually send him to Alcatraz, was anything but smart.
They should pardon them, so if they’re alive, we can all hear the truth. 🤔
yes.
Well, this sucks.
If he was in bad shape at 83 and had no resources for treatment, he’s more than likely dead already unless the lucky chance that his brother is still alive. But I highly doubt it.
He was 83. Most of the old people die at that age naturally. So I think it's ok, at least he lived free.
Why don't they ever mention Frank Morris? It's always the brothers
I knew this old man that said he came from the states, but he didn't want to talk about his past that looks EXACTLY like the third dude. He was at what was basically a community center for the homeless. I'm in St.Catharines Ontario Canada.
He did say tho that he was in prison before.
I'm not helping tho. They got out fair and square. Y'all can kick it lol.

In my opinion : I think they survived, and lived low-key lives. at this point if they did survive, they probably have passed away .
hell if they survived then they should stay free, if anything it’s the prisons fault for not being escape proof 🤷♀️
It’s amazing how we still don’t know if they survived or not (i think they did) and how it all went down. It would definitely be a movie if we knew
I was always fascinated by this story.
I saw a documentary about the escape. It was believed that the Englin Brothers sent their mom a birthday card back in the 60's
Let it go its been years. Jesus christ
That's the news for you

There's no way I would turn these guys in! If they were able to successfully escape Alcatraz and start over then I feel they deserve to stay free. I'm sure all these years of looking over their shoulders has been punishment enough!

Maaaaan I hope that when their time comes. May they speak the truth. Now that would be an amazing story to hear!! That is if they did survive escaping(& I honestly think they did).
I hope they made it to shore and led an honest life in the years that followed 🙏
it is possible for this people live in their 90s to this day but not for all until they past away. If they did past then Rest in peace I was amazed by their escape. Respect and a good movie. it was amazing.
According to good source, this is what happened:
They did escape, they build a plane but crashed on the Golden Gate bridge.
The Weasel killed all three members not long after.
Source: Professor Doctor Edward Richtofen
Legend still say there still fighting zombies
A key element that unfortunately is under communicated about the escape is the sighting by a norwegian cargo ship of a corpse floating outside the golden gate bridge a month after the escape, describing the clothing similar to those of the escapees. My gut feeling, if it was one of the escapees, and if there was partial success in escaping, the corpse would probably be Morris.
You know they gonna add this to every spot in San Fran about Alcatraz
They did survive. In a letter written back in 2013, John Anglin, the last survivor of the trio who managed to escape, told authorities that yes, they did survive and made it to San Francisco.
