Aquatic turtles, such as snapping turtles and red-eared sliders, live for several decades, and can potentially outlive human beings. I remember reading an article about the oldest known aquatic turtle still alive in the United States; it was around 60 years old (almost as old as its owner). I tried to find the article again, but I couldn't. Sorry. Sea turtles can live even longer; it is not unusual for them to live well past 100 years old.

Alligator snapping turtles are native to the southeastern United States and prefer warm, freshwater habitats.

However, releasing non-native species can disrupt local ecosystems and is generally illegal. It is best to leave wildlife in their natural habitats.
