Elizabeth Smart, a renowned child safety activist, surprised her social media followers on Tuesday, April 21, by sharing her new hobby: competitive bodybuilding.
Smart was only 14 when she made headlines in June 2002 for being abducted from her Salt Lake City home by a knife-wielding figure later identified as street preacher Brian David Mitchell.
She was held captive for nine months, during which she endured repeated violations and torments, including being put on a leash and deprived of food.
