New information suggests that at least two of three inmates who broke out of Alcatraz in 1962 may have actually survived their escape from the infamous island prison.

"Alcatraz: Search for the Truth," which debuted Monday night on the History Channel, included evidence that refutes previous claims that brothers John and Clarence Anglin drowned in the icy San Francisco Bay waters.

Anglin family members showed off Christmas cards from the brothers as well as a 1970s-era photo of the pair in Brazil.
