In this reexamination of the escape and its aftermath, the Anglin brothers nephew presents compelling evidence that his uncles did in fact survive and eventually made their way to Brazil, where they married and had children. Using official; government documents the authors show how mobster Mickey Cohen may have been involved in the escape, some revealing letters from fellow inmate Whitey Bulger, and recorded testimony from the person who facilitated their escape to Brazil, the authors make a strong case for the Anglin brothers survival. In addition, a 1975 photograph of the brothers in Brazil has overcome all challenges to its authenticity by skeptics. This book provides a plausible outcome to one of Americas enduring mysteries. Author Biography Ken Widner grew up hearing stories about his famous uncles from his mother and family. In 2015, he participated in The History Channel documentary, Alcatraz: Search for the Truth, in which he shared previously unknown stories and photos.
