David Widner, nephew of John and Clarence Anglin, who escaped from Alcatraz along with Frank Morris, joins Karen Conti to talk about their famous escape, which occurred 64 years ago this month. David discusses why his uncles were imprisoned, the plan to flee the island, the possibility of making it to shore, reports of a stolen car by three individuals on the night of the escape, how the case has impacted his life, law enforcement searching for the escapees, and what he thinks actually happened to his uncles.
