February 4

On this day in 1974, newspaper heiress Patty Hearst, the nineteen-year-old daughter of Randolph Hearst, was kidnapped from her Berkeley, California, apartment by members of the Symbionese Liberation Army - SLA. Three days later, the SLA announced that it was holding Hearst as a "prisoner of war" and demanded that R Hearst provid $70 in food to every needy person from Santa Rosa to Los Angeles. After Hearst reluctantly gave away $2 million in food, the kidnappers demanded that the tycoon give away $6 million more. The kidnapping took a bizarre turn in April when a surveillance camera caught Patty Hearst robbing a San Francisco bank. She declared in a tape sent authorities that she had joined the SLA of her own free will.
