LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Over 50 years ago, three men escaped Alcatraz prison through a makeshift raft in the San Francisco Bay. Prison officials claimed the men drowned and continue to uphold the Alcatraz prison's mantra, "No successful escapees ever."
The brothers teamed up with fellow inmate Frank Morris at the island prison and worked together to create a raft out of stolen raincoats. They also created decoys by using papier mâché dummy heads with human hair, which they placed in their prison beds.
Currently, the Anglins' family members are claiming that the three men might not have died in the bay after all and may still be alive in South America.
Two nephews of the Anglin brothers came forward with photos, Christmas cards and other pieces of alleged evidence that the three escapees were alive during the 70s.
The nephews will be presenting their evidence on the new History Channel special Alcatraz: Search for the Truth, which airs Monday night.
According to the Anglin brothers' nephews, they waited for the Federal Bureau of Investigation to stop harassing their family in repeated attempts to discover the whereabouts of the escaped prisoners - if they indeed survived the waters - before they chose to step forward with their claim.
They said they have agreed to come forward in hopes of finding their uncles before their mother, Anglins' sister, dies. If the Anglins are still alive today, they are in their 80s.
