The June 1962 Alcatraz escape may have been the only successful escape from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary in that facility's history. On the night of June 11 or early morning of June 12, inmates Clarence Anglin, John Anglin and Frank Morris tucked papier-mâché heads resembling their own likenesses into their beds, broke out of the main prison building via an unused utility corridor, and departed Alcatraz Island aboard an improvised inflatable raft to an uncertain fate. Hundreds of leads have been pursued by the 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 before reaching the mainland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://vault.fbi.gov/Alcatraz%20Escape )〕 The U.S. Marshals Service case file remains open and active, however, and Morris and the Anglin brothers remain on its wanted list. Recent experimental and computer-simulated evidence has suggested that the ultimate outcome of the attempt may have depended on the exact time of the men's departure aboard the raft. A 2015 documentary presented circumstantial evidence that at least two of the men—the Anglin brothers—had survived the attempt and fled to Brazil; but authorities warned against drawing conclusions until the evidence could be reviewed through "regular investigative channels". == Previous attempts == (詳細はescape attempts over the 29 years that Alcatraz served as a federal penitentiary,〔 23 were recaptured, six were shot and killed, two drowned, and five (including Morris and the Anglins) are listed as missing and presumed drowned. One inmate, John Paul Scott, successfully swam from the island to Fort Point, at the southern end of the Golden Gate Bridge, in December 1962. He was recaptured immediately, exhausted and hypothermic. Today, multitudes of athletes swim the same Alcatraz-Fort Point route as part of one of two annual triathlon events.〔(Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon ), retrieved November 9, 2015.〕〔(San Francisco Triathlon at Alcatraz ), retrieved November 9, 2015.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「June 1962 Alcatraz escape」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
