The guards of the desolate prison island of Alcatraz made a harrowing discovery the morning of June 12, 1962, prisoners John Anglin, Clarence Anglin, and Frank Morris had escaped. Despite the FBI's almost two decades long investigation, the mystery behind whether the escape ended in success or if they died trying still remains. The FBI's thorough investigation, which lasted for nearly two decades, was unable to determine whether the three men successfully escaped or died in the attempt. The case was finally closed, December 1979.
