Summary

In 1962, inmates Frank Morris, John Anglin, and Clarence Anglin broke out of the legendary Alcatraz Penitentiary and were never seen again. Many say they died in the water... other say they are alive and well in some foreign country. How did these three men manage to escape a maximum security facility located on an island in the middle of San Francisco Bay? Who is to blame?! Melissa Stetten of the fascinatingly fun podcast, Web Crawlers, helps Rebecca point the finger at a couple of suspects. On the board: oxygen, The Mothman, the guards, prison music hour, salt, human laziness, and of course... ghosts.
