police to go through. the house in which they lived in a quiet san francisco suburb, police found weapons. revolutionary literature and material linking them to the sla. my original decision was to be with some people federated with the sla. okay? there s a distinction in my mind. and ten days later, joe and russ are arrested and that throws everything out the window. the circumstances that made our choice for us, we were going underground immediately. at this point the sla consisted of bill harris, emily harris, angela atwood, donald defreeze, willie wolff, nancy ling perry, and ms. moon soltysik. and she had a lover named camilla hall, and she also joined the group. when the police start going through the concord house, they
parking lot, they shot marcus foster dead at point-blank range. the theory was that defreeze, nancy ling perry and moon soltysik were the shooters and joe remiro and russ little were the lookouts. remiro and little had guns with them but they were not involved in the shooting. in a communique to newspapers, the sla took credit for foster s murder. it was the first time anyone had ever heard of the group. they were proud of what they had done and they put out a press release or a statement saying they had done this. the sla was not indiscriminately issuing death warrants for foster, blackburn or anyone else. such an attack was the only means left open to us to demand that the people s wishes be met and all such dangerous genocidal programs be stopped. i was surprised by it. i didn t know they even existed. so i was thinking, oh, my
patty hearst was there. i actually had gone down to l.a. a few days before to get away from it all. we heard a bulletin saying they had the sla cornered somewhere in compton. i got in a car, drove up. we got there, the place was just smoking ruins. you know, for a while it was devastating. we had no idea who was there. five bodies were found initially. the 6th body was not found until the following day when they recovered that body, everybody thought that was patty hearst. and that s when everybody took kind of a breath like, my god, is it patty? was she really there? there were six sla members inside the house. nancy ling perry, camila hall, patricia solstic. willie wolff, donald david
two men, joseph remiro and russell little, were arrested for foster s murder. they refused to talk about their membership in the symbionese liberation army. joe and russ were arrested a few blocks away from the safe house. there were so many cops in the area trying to figure out what was going on. defreeze, nancy and mizmoon had to abandon the safe house. they had things that were stored in his house and it had been a safe house. i m not even sure for how long, but a long time. there were boxes and boxes of stuff. after they soaked the house in 20 gallons of gasoline, they attempted to torch the house. and unfortunately someone lowered the garage door, all the windows were closed because it was wintertime. but when they closed the garage door, it cut off the oxygen to the
when defreeze escaped, that was the beginning of the sla. donald defreeze goes to the only place he knows that he s likely to get a warm welcome, and that s berkeley. he hooks up on the outside with some of the students who had been visiting him on the inside, and that includes joe remiro, willie wolfe, russ little, and in their social circle are nancy ling perry and ms. moon soltysik. ms. moon and nancy wind up moving in with donald defreeze and start coming up with these ideas about revolutionary change. the three of them become the nucleus of the symbionese liberation army. the symbionese liberation army committed a horrendous crime before kidnapping patty hearst.
