Episode description
In 2013, the San Francisco Police Department received a written deathbed confession from a man claiming to be John Anglin — one of the famed fugitives from America's "most inescapable" prison, Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary. Back in 1962, John, along with his brother Clarence and friend Frank Morris, disappeared from Alcatraz never to be seen again. The FBI has long claimed the three men must have died during the escape… But the letter that police received says they all lived well into old age. Is it the missing piece to one of America’s biggest mysteries? Or is it just another hoax?
