• On June 5, 2002, fourteen-year-old Elizabeth Smart, the daughter of a close-knit Mormon family, was taken from her home in the middle of the night by a religious fanatic. Held captive by him and his wife, Elizabeth suffered daily physical and emotional abuse. Rescued nine months later, she rejoined her family.
