Back when she was missing, the Giants attendance was so poor, some folks out here said she was being held hostage in the upper deck of Candlestick Park. I live less than a mile from one of the banks she robbed (or at least held a semi-automatic weapon while it was being robbed depending on who you believe). It is now a Korean Presbyterian Church, but you can still see where the drive thru window was (before the ATM you youngins'). I have no idea if she was nuts or completely complicit at the time, but she seems to be at peace with the world now.
