So my boss has sent me on one last assignment *Sigh* :-/ before everything is final that im leaving and it has nothing to do with New Zealand :(.. Since im heading to America after my bday - I have to do a history project on the 3 men:Frank Morris and the brothers John and Clarence Anglin who escaped from Alcatraz Prison on July 11 1962.. This is apprently best known unsolved crimes in Americas History..
I guess im cheating by asking on here lol but ive never msgd so many Americans in my life till i jumped on here.
So do you think: They got killed,Survied,Drowned or Captured ?? just a question

They escaped and were last seen in the water. No bodies ever turned up. I believe they made it & in the time got away because there wasn't enough technology. Alcatraz is interesting enough. You have to be careful of what you 'Google' not everything in true FACTS

Lived there in Marin County for a while after the military, and I think they were eaten. The harbor that is there, off Frisco is called Tiberon (spelling?) Bay, and yeah, there are a LOT of sharks! The water is freezing all year round and very easy to get hypothermia. Just my thoughts. Been swimming there, and BURRRRRR

@hillbilly1962: awwww your probably right but getting away is a much more interesting theory.

I beleive they got hypothermia and then were eaten. I have been to alcatraz island and prison when i was in seventh grade scary weird stuff there. But the distance from the island to mainland theres no way hypothermia and shock would have killed them first.
