Teen Abducted By Teacher Is Acting Like Different Person; Family At A Loss

This Has Happened Before…

Elizabeth Thomas was not the first teenager to experience an abduction and then undergo a dramatic personality change. Perhaps the most famous case of them all is that of Patty Hearst (born Patricia Campbell Hearst), the granddaughter of American publishing tycoon William Randolph Hearst.

She was kidnapped at the tender age of 19 from the University of California’s Berkeley campus by a left-wing terrorist group known as the Symbionese Liberation Army. The changes that manifested in Patty Hearst are among the most disturbing ever recorded in a kidnap victim anywhere in the world.

This is Patty’s story.
