Bill Harris, a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army who took part in the 1974 kidnapping of newspaper heiress Patty Hearst, has died, according to a New York Times report. Harris and his wife Emily were central figures in the abduction that became one of the most notorious crimes of the 1970s, and Hearst later joined the group after her capture. The news is drawing renewed attention to the case's lingering questions about coercion and guilt.
Why now: The death of a figure from one of America's most infamous 1970s kidnapping cases revives interest in the Hearst saga.
