While sitting in her apartment with her boyfriend, she was kidnaped by the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA). During her captivity she was allegedly brainwashed. After several weeks of captivity she issued tape recorded statements ridiculing American capitalism, of which her grandfather, William Randolph, was a prime example. She also participated in two robberies with other members of the SLA.
Her ordeal with the subversive counter culture ended on September 15, 1975 when she and a companion were captured in San Francisco by FBI agents. Now a captive of the over-the-counter culture, she was put on trial and convicted in March 1976 for bank robbery and felony use of firearms. She was sentenced to seven years of which parts of three years were spent in prison. She was released in February, 1979. In 1982 she published a book about her ordeals, Every Secret Thing.
