Patty Hearst, SLA Couple Caught Here

When newspaper heiress Patty Hearst, granddaughter of American publishing magnate, William Randolph Hearst, was kidnapped in 1974 by the Symbionese Liberation Army, a left-wing terrorist group, it was major news.

But things got even stranger when, after a few weeks with the revolutionary cell, Hearst started sympathizing with the group and joined forces with them, in perhaps the most well-known case of Stockholm Syndrome.

In September 1975, Hearst was taken into custody by the FBI for crimes she committed as part of the group, including a bank robbery.
