Stockholm Syndrome and Patty Hearst

When victims are held captive for long periods, one question always resurfaces: Why didn’t they run? In this episode, we dive into the complex psychological phenomenon known as Stockholm Syndrome—a survival response where hostages form emotional bonds with their captors. We'll explore how this syndrome may have impacted the victims featured in our "Lost and Found" series and take a deeper look at one of the most infamous examples in U.S. history: the kidnapping of Patty Hearst.

If you're fascinated by true crime, psychological survival tactics, and real-life hostage cases, this is a must-listen.
