Clarence Anglin was an American criminal born on May 11, 1931, in Donalsonville, Georgia. He is best known for his involvement in the infamous Alcatraz escape of 1962, where he and his brothers, John Anglin and Frank Morris, attempted to break out of the maximum-security prison. The escape plan involved creating makeshift rafts and dummy heads to deceive the guards. The trio's daring escape has become a significant part of American folklore, inspiring books and films. Despite extensive searches, the fate of Clarence Anglin and his accomplices remains unknown, leading to speculation about whether they successfully reached freedom or perished in the waters of San Francisco Bay.
