Ep. 196: Alcatraz, pt. 4: Ted Cole and Ralph Roe

Surprise, it’s another Alcatraz episode! This time, in preparation for the one inmate profile Hannah really wants to do (Sam Shockley), she decided to preface by giving Katy the rundown on the four mugshots we have hanging in the studio, starting with the infamous Ted Cole and Ralph Roe. The girls talk about what led to the first ever successful escape from the rock, what makes a good FBI description, Chris Angeling your way out of handcuffs, and why you should never pick up handsome hitchhikers. It’s long and it’s probably unnecessary, but we’re leaning into the hyper-fixation, and we hope you don’t mind. So pour the drinks, and join us for what is technically an Unsolved Mystery! Sources: https://tulsaworld.com/did-ted-cole-escape-alcatraz-alive/article_16841f6a-e8b3-5c4a-b0e2-38324a591f4a.htmlhttps://blog.genealogybank.com/did-two-cons-escape-from-escape-proof-alcatraz.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_Firstborn_(Morrisite)#Teachingshttps://www.cityexperiences.com/blog/the-december-departures-from-alcatraz/https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/74841432/ralph-roehttps://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1934?amount=3206.46https://www.joplinglobe.com/news/local_news/public-enemy-no-1/article_932c6bbd-c3ad-5575-b1c8-92b0e0b5d055.htmlSupport the showFollow us @thetaleswetellpodcast on Facebook and Instagram, or thetaleswetellpodcast.comSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/thetaleswetellpodcast?Click here for merch!
