The Hearst's other estate, Wyntoon...near me at McCloud CA was visited by the FBI when they were searching for Patti. Local gossip and rumor had everybody around here figuring that she was never kidnapped, was in fact, sympathetic and maybe an SLA member. How hard the FBI searched the 76,000 acres was in doubt, since they were in suits and ties and sedans. Local coffee shop experts claimed the FBI was doing a dog and pony show, pure kabuki theatre to further the idea that she was kidnapped and brainwashed as defense scam, since it was nearly inevitable that she would be caught. Can't have billionaire heiresses going to prison, now can we? Only Patti knows the troof.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
