what is the name of the guy who escaped alcatraz
June 1962 Alcatraz escape attempt One inmate, John Paul Scott, successfully swam a distance of 2.7 nautical miles (5.0 km; 3.1 mi) from the island to Fort Point, at the southern end of the Golden Gate Bridge, on December 16, 1962. Some teenagers who were on the beach at the time found him and called the police because they thought he was dead. When the police saw him, he was immediately identified as the escapee they had been looking for. He was recaptured the same day and sent back to the rock,[5] exhausted and hypothermic.[6] Today, multitudes of athletes swim the same Alcatraz–Fort Point route as part of one of two annual triathlon events.[7][8] Some inmates in Alcatraz include Al Capone, Robert Stroud, and Allen West.
Ariel Castro kidnappings Between 2002 and 2004, three young women—Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Georgina "Gina" DeJesus—were kidnapped by Ariel Castro and held captive in his home in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland, in the U.S. state of Ohio. They were subsequently imprisoned in his house on Seymour Avenue until May 6, 2013, when Berry escaped with her six-year-old daughter and contacted the police.[3][4][5][6] Knight and DeJesus were rescued by responding officers and Castro was arrested within hours.
