From the Independent Producer Project and KCRW.com, I'm Bob Carlson, and this is unfictional.

I was very upset to hear about the police rushing in on that house in Oakland and I was just really glad that I wasn't there.

Unfictional is a program of true stories and Personal Documentaries, and this week, Stockholm Syndrome.

And I would appreciate it if everyone would just calm down and not try to find me and not be making identifications because they're not only

endangering me, but they're endangering themselves.

If you were alive and aware of the news in 1974, you probably already know who this is.

I'm with a combat unit that's armed with automatic weapons.

It's Patty Hurst.

There's also a medical team here.

There's no way that I will be released until they let me go

So it wouldn't do any good for somebody to come in here and try to get me out by force

Patricia Hearst was the 19-year-old newspaper heiress who was kidnapped by a group of left-wing

revolutionaries in February of 1974.

The granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst was abducted by two men and a girl in a bizarre kidnapping.

Patricia Campbell Hearst, a 19 year old student, was taken from her apartment.

Well, I heard a scream and then I heard what were gunshots and I looked out the window.

Did you hear the girl who was being taken out to say anything?

Well, I heard her pleading, please know, not me, or words to that effect.

The kidnapping was huge news at the time, but the main reason Patty Hurst became infamous isn't because she was abducted, it's because of what happened next.

Hurst recorded a tape asking not to be rescued that one you just heard earlier. The tape was

made by her abductors and was broadcast on the radio.

These people aren't just a bunch of nuts.
