Lois Smart and Elizabeth Smart
Elizabeth is the second child of Lois. Lois and Ed had to go through nightmares when Elizabeth was abducted by Brian David Mitchell and Wanda Barzee. She was rescued after 9 months. They together wrote a book about the aftermath of her life. Elizabeth was abducted at knifepoint from her bedroom in her family’s house in Salt Lake City, Utah.
For the next nine months, she was raped daily, tied up, and threatened with death if she attempted to escape. She was rescued by police officers on March 12, 2003, on a public street in Sandy, Utah, 18 miles (29 km) from her home. Two witnesses recognized abductors Brian David Mitchell and Wanda Ileen Barzee from an America’s Most Wanted episode
In 2011, Elizabeth founded the Elizabeth Smart Foundation, which aims to bring hope and end the victimization and exploitation of sexual assault through prevention, recovery, and advocacy.
