    11 June 1962 - INMATES ESCAPE FROM 'THE ROCK' AND DISAPPEAR INTO THE
    BAY: The infamous Alcatraz Island penitentiary has been thought
    escape-proof, but The Rock loses three of its inmates today as they pose
    dummy heads in their bunks, crawl through spoon-dug holes, scale the
    prison fence, and shove off into San Francisco Bay on rafts made with
    prison raincoats.

    Inmates Clarence Anglin, John Anglin, and Frank Morris escaped from
    Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, a maximum-security prison located on
    Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay. Late on the night of June 11 or
    early morning of June 12, the three men tucked papier-m|och|- heads
    resembling their own likenesses into their beds, broke out of the main
    prison building via ventilation ducts and an unused utility corridor,
    and departed the island aboard an improvised inflatable raft to an
    uncertain fate. A fourth conspirator, Allen West, failed in his escape
    attempt and remained on the island.

    Hundreds of leads were pursued by the Federal Bureau of Investigation
    (FBI) and local law enforcement officials in the ensuing years, but no conclusive evidence has ever surfaced favoring the success or failure of
    the attempt. Numerous theories of widely varying plausibility have been proposed by authorities, reporters, family members, and amateur
    enthusiasts. In 1979 the FBI officially concluded, on the basis of circumstantial evidence and a preponderance of expert opinion, that the
    men drowned in the frigid waters of San Francisco Bay without reaching
    the mainland. The U.S. Marshals Service case file remains open and
    active, however, and Morris and the Anglin brothers remain on its wanted
    list.
