"THE HEIRESS AND THE ARMY: HOW PATTY HEARST WENT FROM KIDNAP VICTIM TO AMERICA'S MOST WANTED - PART 1"
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Reid Carter examines how a 19-year-old newspaper heiress became a machine gun-wielding bank robber in one of the strangest cases in FBI history. February 4, 1974: Three armed radicals burst into Patty Hearst's Berkeley apartment, beat her fiancé, threw her in a trunk. The Symbionese Liberation Army demanded millions in food for the poor. Her father complied. Didn't matter. Two months later, surveillance cameras captured Hearst wielding an M1 carbine during a San Francisco bank robbery, screaming "I'm Tania!" Was she brainwashed or radicalized? Victim or revolutionary? Part one of the kidnapping that redefined Stockholm Syndrome.
