About this episode
This week on True Crime This Week, Vanessa Richardson revisits a militant group kidnapping media heiress Patty Hearst from her apartment. But after she helped them rob a bank, people wondered if she was a victim... or an accomplice. The same week in 2003, the investigation into the kidnapping of 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart took a drastic turn when her parents released a sketch of her abductor, sparking a nationwide manhunt.
