Olson, a former member of the Symbionese Liberation Army, who also went by the name Kathleen Ann Soliah, ran from the law for 25 years. And, in that time, transformed herself into a mother of three daughters and community volunteer in Minnesota. She was arrested in 1999 after she was featured on "America’s Most Wanted" and spent the last seven years in prison for planting homemade nail bombs under a Los Angeles Police Department car in August 1975 and for her role in the shooting death of 42-year-old mom of four, Myrna Opsahl, during a Northern California bank robbery in April of 1975. The SLA — whose members were mostly from families of upper- and middle-class status — gained notoriety after it kidnapped newspaper heiress Patty Hearst in 1974. Hearst drove the getaway car the day of the robbery and she later served two years in prison for another bank robbery in San Francisco.

The 62-year-old Olson will now serve supervised parole back in St. Paul, MN, where she will resume her middle-class life with her husband and daughters. It’s that community that provided Olson shelter when she transformed herself from 1970s radical to housewife. After her 1999 arrest, Olson’s supporters raised $1 million in bail money, in part by sales of a cookbook she put together called Serving Time: America’s Most Wanted Recipes. Since Olson turned her back on her past dirty deeds, Time magazine asks: "How should society treat a woman guilty of committing abhorrent crimes but who had seemingly transformed into a productive member of society?"
