Witness History - Patty Hearst: Rebel heiress
Download Patty Hearst: Rebel heiress
When wealthy newspaper heiress Patty Hearst was kidnapped by far-left militants in February 1974, America saw her as a victim.
But two months later, she announced she had decided to join the group. Soon, she was accompanying it on an attempted bank robbery.
In 2010, Louise Hidalgo spoke to Carol Pogash, a journalist who followed the story.
