Randolph Apperson Hearst

The m- marriage had been announced.

And, uh, one of the readers of the, her dad's paper, The Examiner, one of the Hearst Newspapers, um, a flagship really, uh, that her grandfather had founded.

Um, basically the, the SLA was looking, uh, this sort of ragtag group of revolutionaries.

They read the story and they thought she'd be the perfect kidnapping victim.

Did she actually join the cause? Um, and you could argue that for some reason she was influenced by the fact that her father, who basically died leaving an estate of $1.5 billion, didn't wanna fork over $4 million to ransom her.

Uh, that she was very disappointed by that.

She felt that her dad, who she'd been very close to, um, had let her down in a big way and didn't care about bringing her back, and was more interested in saving his company's interest, which is what she said in her various communiqués, than in, um, her freedom.

And that could have influenced her decision.
