In the above thread, "Urban Legend" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Patty_Hearst#Urban_legend.3F, the writer points out how most people born since 1974 have little concept of how gripped the nation was by Ms Hearst-Shaw's abduction. She was never removed from California, yet a woman I knew in the Hudson Valley of NY was detained by the FBI for a day when someone in the area turned her in as Patty Hearst. Unfortunately for my friend, there was a very strong resemblance, so in the FBI Patty Hearst file, she is probably one of many such footnotes.

Thanks to Mr Crim for his interesting and thorough thread. Out of burning curiosity, I looked at the FBI's Vault site http://vault.fbi.gov/, but although there are many references to her various family members and a few tangential references to Ms Hearst, I couldn't locate the "Patty Hearst", "Patricia Hearst", "Hearst Kidnapping", or "Symbionese Liberation Army" file. Maybe someone with more imagination and time than I have could search further. Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 07:41, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
