And this:

One of the most famous escape attempts was masterminded by Garrett Brock
Trapnell, who was serving time for hijacking a jetliner. His girlfriend,
Barbara Oswald, tried to hijack a helicopter in May 1978 to facilitate his
escape, but was shot and killed in the attempt. A few months later, Oswald's
daughter hijacked a jetliner from St. Louis to the Williamson County airport
and held the crew and passengers hostage for 10 hours, demanding Trapnell's
release. She eventually surrendered.

Bill, I noticed in one of your posts that you knew Allen Barklage. I
never
knew the man, but had heard his name mentioned often. I've know of the
"hijack" story, but have never heard the details. Do you know them?
Would
you share?
