Bizarre Mysteries That Remain Unsolved to This Day

Alcatraz Escape

For nearly 30 years, Alcatraz was thought to be inescapable. Everyone who tried was either caught or died—except for three bank robbers who escaped in 1962. It is unknown whether or not they drowned in the water; their bodies were never found. However, in recent years, a letter from one of the escapees was recovered. It read: "My name is John Anglin. I escape from Alcatraz in June 1962 with my brother Clarence and Frank Morris. I'm 83 years old and in bad shape. I have cancer. Yes we all made it that night but barely!"
