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.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Lost and Found: Elizabeth Smart
In the second installment of our Lost and Found series, we revisit the harrowing case of Elizabeth Smart, a 14-year-old girl abducted from her bedroom in the middle of the night. Raised in a close-knit Mormon family in Salt Lake City, Utah, Elizabeth’s life was upended when a simple act of kindness—offering help to a local transient—set the stage for a chilling and calculated kidnapping. What followed was a months-long ordeal filled with psychological manipulation, forced travel across state lines, and an unimaginable fight for survival. Against all odds, Elizabeth’s story became one of resilience, strength, and an unforgettable return home.
