Just an FYI. A 1955 blue Chevrolet (California license plate KPB076) was reported stolen in Marin County the same day as the escape, a claim corroborated by contemporaneous stories in the Humboldt Times and the San Francisco Examiner. The following day, a motorist in Stockton, California, 80 miles east of San Francisco, reported to the California Highway Patrol that he had been forced off the road by three men in a blue Chevrolet.

@monfronoriginal 2 ай бұрын

If her dad was the assistant warden, she’s gonna stick to the “they drowned” narrative. It was a major screw up for all the staff at Alcatraz, and the narrative the prison took to save face is saying they drowned, as they had to maintain the idea that Alcatraz was escape proof. If they didn’t, Alcatraz would lose yet more funding, and the budget was already stretched incredibly thin. The engineers knew of the salt air corrosion in the cells and they didn’t have enough federal funding to fix it. I grew up in SF and I personally believe they made it. Idk ymmv

As far as the "microchip" myth goes, I'm willing to bet what really happened was a needle tip broke off due to someone being incompetent, and when the guy pulled it out of his arm he thought it was a microchip because he was paranoid enough to think there was a microchip in his arm to begin with. That or he was just flat out crazy or making stuff up for attention or to feed conspiracy theorists.

Just because they're smart doesn't mean they managed to make a perfectly sealed rubber raft in the dark and total silence. It's most likely the raft sprung a leak on the way and they drown. Again, the most damning evidence is that nobody's heard from any one of them since. None of their family, none of their friends. Not to mention the sheet of phone numbers that was recovered.

I remember a prison escape that was popular on the news about 10? years ago. They escaped and from my perspective, the main reason they got caught was because one of them was fat, out of shape, and had to consume alcohol along the way. Eliminate such idiotic behavior like this and actually work together, and it is reasonable to conclude that an escape from Alcatraz is, indeed, possible.

As i recall, some years ago a detainee at the old local jail somehow squeezed through a window and shinnied down several bedsheets, only to find that he was short, quite short…of the fifty feet required to reach the ground. I don’t remember how they rescued him, but he was brought back in intact and alive. The next jail was formed of individual precast concrete room - each with a very narrow(!) window - bolted together as modular components. The view is comparatively poor; no longer looking out toward the river. No escape attempts noted yet. Get your sheets together; do not drop everything to escape!
