The document helped to categorized and further describe the personality of Hearst such that she appeared to be an apathetic antagonized. The document reads, “But she did not look or act like a victim who had been forced by her abductors to rob a bank and denounce her grieving parents and her fiancé as "pigs" and "clowns." She was as casual as if she had dropped by to answer a traffic summons.”
