Alcatraz Escape
The fate of three men—Frank Morris, John Anglin, and his brother Clarence Anglin—who made a
daring escape from an isolated island prison in 1962 remains a mystery to this day.
In its heyday, it was the ultimate maximum security prison.
Located on a lonely island in the middle of San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz—aka “The Rock”—had
held captives since the Civil War. But it was in 1934, the highpoint of a major war on crime, that
Alcatraz was re-fortified into the world’s most secure prison.
Its eventual inmates included dangerous public enemies like Al Capone and George “Machine
Gun” Kelly, criminals who had a history of escapes, and the occasional odd character like the
infamous “Birdman of Alcatraz.”
In the 1930s, Alcatraz was already a forbidding place, surrounded by the cold, rough waters of
the Pacific. The redesign included tougher iron bars, a series of strategically positioned guard
towers, and strict rules, including a dozen checks a day of the prisoners. Escape seemed near
impossible.
Despite the odds, from 1934 until the prison was closed in 1963, 36 men tried 14 separate escapes.
Nearly all were caught or didn’t survive the attempt.
The fate of three particular inmates, however, remains a mystery to this day.
escape plan. We were aided by inmate Allen West, who didn’t make it out of his cell in time and
began providing us with information. Here’s what we learned.
▪ The group had begun laying plans the previous December when one of them came across
some old saw blades.
▪ Using crude tools—including a homemade drill made from the motor of a broken vacuum
cleaner—the plotters each loosened the air vents at the back of their cells by painstakingly
drilling closely spaced holes around the cover so the entire section of the wall could be
removed. Once through, they hid the holes with whatever they could—a suitcase, a piece
of cardboard, etc.
▪ Behind the cells was a common, unguarded utility corridor. They made their way down this
corridor and climbed to the roof of their cell block inside the building, where they set up a
secret workshop. There, taking turns keeping watch for the guards in the evening before
the last count (see the crude “periscope” they constructed for the lookouts), they used a
variety of stolen and donated materials to build and hide what they needed to escape.
More than 50 raincoats that they stole or gathered were turned into makeshift life
preservers and a 6x14 foot rubber raft, the seams carefully stitched together and
“vulcanized” by the hot steam pipes in the prison (the idea came from magazines that
were found in the prisoners’ cells). They also built wooden paddles and converted a
musical instrument into a tool to inflate the raft.
▪ At the same time, they were looking for a way out of the building. The ceiling was a good
30 feet high, but using a network of pipes they climbed up and eventually pried open the
ventilator at the top of the shaft. They kept it in place temporarily by fashioning a fake bolt
out of soap.
Black Dahlia
The 1947 murder of a 22-year-old Hollywood hopeful in Los Angeles has never been solved.
On the morning of January 15, 1947, a mother taking her child for a walk in a Los Angeles
neighborhood stumbled upon a gruesome sight: the body of a young naked woman sliced clean
in half at the waist.
The body was just a few feet from the sidewalk and posed in such a way that the mother
reportedly thought it was a mannequin at first [Link] the extensive mutilation and cuts
on the body, there wasn’t a drop of blood at the scene, indicating that the young woman had
been killed [Link] ensuing investigation was led by the L.A. Police Department. The FBI
was asked to help, and it quickly identified the body—just 56 minutes, in fact, after getting blurred
fingerprints via “Soundphoto” (a primitive fax machine used by news services) from Los

Short—later dubbed the “Black Dahlia” by the press for her rumored penchant for sheer black
clothes and for the Blue Dahlia movie out at that time.
Short’s prints actually appeared twice in the FBI’s massive collection (more than 100 million were
on file at the time).First, she had applied for a job as a clerk at the commissary of the Army’s Camp
Cooke in California in January [Link], she had been arrested by the Santa Barbara police

Brink’s Robbery
A 1950 robbery of a Brinks bank in Boston by men in masks sets of a massive search for those
responsible
As the robbers sped from the scene, a Brink’s employee telephoned the Boston Police
Department. Minutes later, police arrived at the Brink’s building, and special agents of the FBI
quickly joined in the investigation.
At the outset, very few facts were available to the investigators. From interviews with the five
employees whom the criminals had confronted, it was learned that between five and seven
robbers had entered the building. All of them wore Navy-type peacoats, gloves, and chauffeur’s
caps. Each robber’s face was completely concealed behind a Halloween-type mask. To muffle
their footsteps, one of the gang wore crepe-soled shoes, and the others wore rubbers.
The robbers did little talking. They moved with a studied precision which suggested that the crime
had been carefully planned and rehearsed in the preceding months. Somehow the criminals had
opened at least three—and possibly four—locked doors to gain entrance to the second floor of
Brink’s, where the five employees were engaged in their nightly chore of checking and storing the
money collected from Brink’s customers that day.
All five employees had been forced at gunpoint to lie face down on the floor. Their hands were
tied behind their backs and adhesive tape was placed over their mouths. During this operation,
one of the employees had lost his glasses; they later could not be found on the Brink’s premises.
As the loot was being placed in bags and stacked between the second and third doors leading
to the Prince Street entrance, a buzzer sounded. The robbers removed the adhesive tape from
the mouth of one employee and learned that the buzzer signified that someone wanted to enter
the vault area. The person ringing the buzzer was a garage attendant. Two of the gang members
moved toward the door to capture him; but, seeing the garage attendant walk away apparently
unaware that the robbery was being committed, they did not pursue him.
In addition to the general descriptions received from the Brink’s employees, the investigators
obtained several pieces of physical evidence. There were the rope and adhesive tape used to
bind and gag the employees and a chauffeur’s cap that one of the robbers had left at the crime
scene.
Charles Ross Kidnapping
The FBI investigates the abduction and murder of a Chicago greeting card executive in 1937.
John Henry Seadlund, characterized as a cold-blooded and ruthless kidnapper and murderer,
as well as a lone bank bandit, counted off the last 24 hours of his life on July 13, 1938, at
Chicago, Illinois. On the early morning of July 14, 1938, Seadlund was executed in the electric
chair for the abduction and murder of Charles Sherman [Link] date of his death was exactly
13 days prior to the day upon which he would have celebrated his 28th birthday, as John Henry
Seadlund was born on July 27, 1910.
On October 19, 1937, when it was evident that the victim of this crime was not to be returned by
his abductors, the FBI began to unravel the carefully woven web surrounding the crime
committed by Seadlund. Every available resource at the command of the FBI was thrown into
action to assist in the solution of the crime, which, according to Seadlund’s own statement, he
deemed “a perfect crime.”For almost four months, each clue was looked at to identify and
locate the individual responsible for the crime. The wide ramifications of the investigative
activities of the FBI reached beyond the territorial limits of the continental United States. Thus was
conducted one of the most widespread and intensive manhunts ever engaged in by the FBI,
utilizing the most modern means of scientific crime [Link] pursuit of the FBI was
maintained until Seadlund was located and apprehended as the result of a carefully planned
trap set into operation by special agents under the direct personal supervision of Director
Hoover at the Santa Anita Race Track near Los Angeles, California on January 14, 1938.
the resolution of this kidnapping revealed that there is no honor among criminals in their
associations with their own kind. James Atwood Gray, one of the abductors, was apparently
killed to avoid splitting the $50,000 ransom. It appears that Seadlund believed that by destroying
the only living witnesses of this crime, he would destroy every link by which his detection might
be possible. However, his uncontrollable desire to gamble at the race track resulted in his
detection, location, and apprehension.
D.B. Cooper Hijacking
never been seen again in one of the great unsolved mysteries in FBI history.
On the afternoon of November 24, 1971, a nondescript man calling himself Dan Cooper
approached the counter of Northwest Orient Airlines in Portland, Oregon.
He used cash to buy a one-way ticket on Flight #305, bound for Seattle, Washington.
Thus began one of the great unsolved mysteries in FBI history.
Cooper was a quiet man who appeared to be in his mid-40s, wearing a business suit with a
black tie and white shirt.
He ordered a drink—bourbon and soda—while the flight was waiting to take off.
A man who parachuted out of an airplane in 1971 with a bag full of stolen cash has
A short time after 3:00 p.m., he handed the stewardess a note indicating that he had a bomb in
his briefcase and wanted her to sit with him.
The stunned stewardess did as she was told. Opening a cheap attaché case, Cooper showed
her a glimpse of a mass of wires and red colored sticks and demanded that she write down
what he told her.
Soon, she was walking a new note to the captain of the plane that demanded four parachutes
and $200,000 in twenty-dollar bills.
