Authorities released new age-progressed photos of the trio of men who became infamous for apparently escaping the Alcatraz prison in 1962.
It was one of the most famous and elaborate prison breaks in U.S. history.
Brothers John and Clarence Anglin, along with Frank Morris, were serving sentences for bank robbery when they pulled off the escape with stolen spoons, dummy heads and a raincoat raft. The three climbed the plumbing pipes to the roof and climbed through fences to reach the rocky western shore of the island. Using a how-to article in Popular Mechanics magazine, they assembled a raft, using an accordion-like musical instrument to inflate the craft.
Low fog swirls around Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge under clear skies as boats sail on the San Francisco Bay on Wednesday, September 16, 2020 in Berkeley, Calif. Their bodies were never found but their exploits were turned into the 1979 movie "Escape from Alcatraz," starring Clint Eastwood as Morris.The newly-released photos suggest how each of the men would look today in their 80s, pictured with gray hair and wrinkles.
Retired U.S. Marshal Michael Dyke, who inherited the unsolved case in 2003, told The Associated Press that he didn’t know whether any of the trio was still alive. Some authorities believe the inmates were swallowed by the frigid bay. But clues have surfaced since the prison break. The dummy head found in Morris’ cell, along with the one in Clarence Anglin’s cell, which shows how they were arranged to fool the guards into thinking the inmates were asleep.
