In this episode of the Compendium, we unravel the astonishing story of Patty Hearst, the kidnapped heiress who shocked the world by becoming one of America’s most wanted fugitives. Discover how Patricia Campbell Hearst went from a life of luxury to joining the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) and committing crimes that defied belief. We’ll explore who Patty Hearst was kidnapped by, how she became a criminal, and what happened to the SLA, all while discussing the famous case of Stockholm Syndrome that gripped the nation.
