Myrna Opsahl was a church worker and murder victim of the notorious Symbionese Liberation Army. She died April 21, 1975 during a Carmichael, California bank robbery. Newspaper heiress and kidnapping/brainwashing victim Patty Hearst was the driver of the getaway car during this robbery.
Her death led to a lengthy campaign for justice, which finally in 2002 led to the arrest of Emily Harris, William Harris , Kathleen Soliah, Michael Bortin , and James Kilgore for the murder. Emily Harris admitted to firing the fatal shotgun blast, but claimed it was an accident.
