Would I am Redemption return one of your own captured heros if it was sitting in your own LB? For instance if they used King Asnappar?

Welp, looks like it's time to errata or stop using I Am Redemption.

Cov w/ Palestine is the better card anyway.

"Your" means "own & control", and you don't "control" capture heroes in your opponent's LoB. Therefore, it does look like "I am Redemption" would only work to return your own heroes who you captured to your own LoB.
Which does mean that no one will use that card probably. Good thing that there are better options already :)

I feel like that's been brought up before, but yeah, I agree that it doesn't work as intended.

Wow, I apparently missed the train before. I have used this card for years in Hero-lite decks because my opponent can't play DoN on the return. This was an important cog for Heroless, Saint of Virtue, Zebulun, etc. I know that Cov w/ Palestine + Lampstand is better but some games I found I could attack early and it was great to be able to safely return my hero from capture if that was before I had my temple and Lampstand...

Ouch. Ironically, it's a card entitled, I Am Redemption. Coupled with not being played along with the card entitled, Redemption, it's comically self-defeating. :-\
