This is the latest episode from the podcast Minnesota’s Most Notorious: Where Blood Runs Cold.
It was a question asked by many Minnesotans in 1974, including her parents. How could Camilla Hall, the sweet and caring daughter of a small-town Lutheran pastor, become a member of the radical Symbionese Liberation Army? The abductors of Patty Hearst? The gun-toting militants who would end up battling police to death in Los Angeles?
My guest is award-winning Mankato author Rachael Hanel, author of “Not the Camilla We Knew: One Woman’s Path From Small-Town America to the Symbionese Liberation Army”. She tells us about Camilla and her journey from Minnesota social worker to member of Los Angeles’s notorious SLA.
