Early on a Monday morning in 1975, a middle-aged woman named Myrna Opsahl walked into a Carmichael, California bank. Moments later, masked robbers burst in, announcing a holdup. When Opsahl made a sudden movement, they opened fire. The robbers escaped with $15,000, leaving Opsahl bleeding to death on the floor. It would take over 25 years, but the innocent bystander would become a nagging reminder of the Symbionese Liberation Army's pointless violence, and an icon for those in the post-9/11 world who sought to bring terrorists to justice.

Two days after a tape-recorded show trial in Ethan Gardens, the Panthers shot Rackley to death. Someone in the party thought Rackley was a spy.
