The great escape from Alcatraz is a story that has puzzled police and the public for more than four decades. The published statement by police at the time was that all three men drowned in the freezing waters while swimming from the island during the night. But what really happened? Did the FBI cover up the most notorious prison escape in American history?

Hiding The Letter
Although the letter showed up in 2013, only in 2018 was it exposed to the public. Many people questioned why the letter stayed under wraps for the last five years.
