Donald DeFreeze

May 17, 1974: Donald DeFreeze, a Cleveland-born criminal who became radicalized in a California prison and, upon his escape, assumed leadership of the Symbionese Liberation Army that kidnapped Patty Heart, killed himself when trapped in a shoot-out with Los Angeles police. His badly burned remains were returned to Cleveland and buried at Highland Park Cemetery.
