		Myrna Opsahl, 42, had arrived at the Crocker National Bank in the Sacramento suburb of Carmichael to deposit that weekend's collection from her Seventh-day Adventist Church.
		Opsahl got a break in his quest to reopen his mother's case in 1999, when the FBI arrested Soliah's sister Kathleen--now known as Sara Jane Olson, she had gone underground and was living as a middle-class mother of three in St. Paul--on charges of attempting to bomb two police cars in Los Angeles in 1975.
		Once her case appeared to be over, Opsahl made public on his web site what he had learned: Using new technology, prosecutors say they matched the buckshot that had killed Myrna Opsahl with ammunition found in an SLA safe house in San Francisco.

	Payback from a long-forgotten account
		Opsahl was a church-going mother of four children, a one-time medical missionary, who married a doctor and volunteered with charities.
		Her companions left Opsahl to bleed on the floor while Soliah, according to the account of getaway driver Patty Hearst, pillaged the cash drawers and gave a pregnant teller a good kick in the gut.
		Unlike the SLA, Jon Opsahl does not believe in death penalties, legal or extralegal, nor does he much care if Olson is returned to her family on the virtue of a light sentence that recognizes some form of self-reformation.

		Opsahl said he is so frustrated by John O’Mara’s “bungling” of the case--giving immunity for useless testimony and not presenting physical evidence to the grand jury--that he hopes O’Mara, who put the case in a warehouse 12 years ago, will hand over the job to someone else.

	News&features - January 24, 2002
		Opsahl had become so frustrated with Scully’s reluctance to pursue murder charges against members of the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) that he began issuing broadsides, in the media and on his own Web site, harshly criticizing the DA and accusing her office of bungling the case (see "Obstruction of Justice," SN&R, January 10).
		At Wednesday’s announcement of the arrests Opsahl played nice, saying that he "hadn’t been aware of everything that was going on behind the scenes" during the yearlong investigation carried out by a task force assigned to take another look at the 1975 Carmichael bank robbery.
		Whatever Scully’s motivations, Opsahl is glad the long-dormant case of his mother’s murder is finally seeing the light of day.
