On the night of June 5, 2002, a knife-wielding figure entered 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart‘s bedroom and abducted her from her Salt Lake City home.
For nine gut-wrenching months, the terrified teen endured unimaginable horrors as she was chained, repeatedly violated, and brainwashed by her captors, self-proclaimed prophet Brian David Mitchell and his wife, Wanda Barzee.
The nightmarish experience that nearly destroyed Elizabeth and her family and puzzled investigators for months is examined in Netflix’s new documentary Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart.
