@underworldluver Just because a lot of teens are defiant & sensitive does not mean that anyone should automatically assume that a teen has run away if he/she turns up missing. Especially if there is an eyewitness who says the teen was kidnapped out of the bedroom by an armed intruder & if one of the screens on the downstairs windows is cut from the outside with a lawnchair propped up against the outside of the window.
@halofable574 Youtube does not allow anyone to upload entire movies or tv shows due to copyright issues. Some people do it anyway, but if they're caught they get the videos deleted & their accounts suspended.
Elizabeth sure did cash in after this. I am suspicious because she waited 7 years to claim she was raped daily by her abductor. Hmmm, yet when they found her, she was simply wandering around freely and didn't say a word about rape. Honestly, it sounds to me like Elizabeth ran away with this religious cult and when she was found, she changed her mind because of the media. Then later on, someone asked her to jazz up the story by claiming she was raped to rake in the big bucks, and that she is.
@cheapcape well most victims they don't like talking about things like that and maybe she did tell the police who knows there was an article in people the day after she was found that says she was raped so she must've told someone if i were her i wouldn't want to speak about it either until the time came, and she didn't run away she was chained to a tree for days and raped every day and they never left her alone she tried to escape but she didn't get very far b4 they realized she ran off.
Anyone who's into blaming the victim, needs help. The media had the gall to ask Mormon Church leaders what Elizabeth Smart's standing was with the Church. It was very healing, though, to all sexual assault victims, to hear that the First Presidency said that Elizabeth is not guilty of anything, and that she's pure and clean as far as the church is concerned. She's now a beautiful missionary.
@thereallifez It is not Elizabeth's fault that she got kidnapped & made the news, & it's not her fault that there are kidnapped kids who don't make the news. Blame the media. The media are the ones who discriminate. I'm sure Elizabeth would trade her fame for anonymity in a heartbeat if it meant she didn't have to be kidnapped & raped. & she's not a dumb bitch.
@cheapcape How do you know it's false, just because you refuse to believe it? YOU grow a brain. No one has any reason to lie for one teenager. Btw, Barzee pleaded guilty & Mitchell was found guilty due to all the hard evidence & the testimony from all the witnesses.
Gee, you're not full of yourself or anything. I suppose the world should bow and give heed to every F bomb you drop because if they don't their little children will be kidnapped, huh? You're about as spiritual as a turkey sandwich.
No I don't. I explain what happened to her. That's not harassment. & there's never any excuse for anyone calling a rape victim a whore, a slut, a bitch, or anything else anyway. People who call her those things are not people who "don't share the same views" as me. If you were raped & people called you a whore or a slut you'd have a fit.

She didn't wait 7 years, she told the police & her family 7 years ago. Also, sexual assault charges were brought against her captors on March 18, 2003. The fact that she was raped was made public in March 2003. There has been a gag order on the Smart case since 2003.
@cheapcape A tv guide interview that was in the tv guide in November 2003. & since when have real life crime victims ever starred in movies about themselves anyway? Seriously, no one with a working brain would have used the real Elizabeth Smart in the movie.
this film is really good i had to video it as they put the film on late i remeber the story of her dissapering it got mentioned here and when she got found the news told us i live in the uk i hope elizabeth is doing ok now after the horrible things that happend to her

You call yourself L1zfan and contradict yourself consistently along the way commenting on many things outside of this story. Are you a a little Liz obsessive maybe? Who are you? Family friend? Someone who can't handle black people not getting exposure because that's the American way or just bored? Is it time to let go if you don't care?
They raped her & tied her by the ankle to a tree with a wire cable & kept her like that for 2-3 months, abusing & terrorizing her & threatening to kill her & her family if she ever tried anything. After 2 or 3 months they disguised her in a burqa & paraded her around town for a few months before taking her to California, where they stayed until March 2003.
@violinplayer9 she was hiked for miles behind her home and raped everyday and forced to drink alcohol and drugs to lower her resistance until she was seen walking around in sandy utah, with her captors.
All dvds wordwide are programmed with different codes. If I bought a region one dvd it wouldn't play in my Dvd player as my Dvd player can only play region 4 dvds. The whole dvd thing is confusing, I know.

The cops were dumber than dirt. They had an eyewitness! Did you ever hear the name Mary Katherine Smart??? Anyway I would like to read the book and see the movie.
Because those people who think that are complete morons with the IQ of a rock. In Smart's case there was an eyewitness to the kidnapping, & the cops & the FBI found proof that she'd been kidnapped & held against her will. So it makes no sense that people would still think she ran away when all the evidence points-& has always pointed-to her being a bona fide kidnap/rape victim & nothing more. I think it has to do with peoples' beliefs about teens-that they're all troublemakers or some dumb thing
anyone have the full movie? i saw it when she was first brought home..but i was so young i dont remember much of it..i think she's so brave and i would love to see the movie again.
Why don't all battered husbands leave their wives? Why do 80% of rapes in the U.S. go unreported? People are abused in nursing homes. Why don't they tell someone or leave if they're able to? It's obviously not as simple as "just walk away"(Don't ask Gracebenancy though because she's an apologist for rapists & abusers so she'll probably blame the victims like she always does. I'm not the only one who thinks she/he is a stalker). Everyone who blames Elizabeth just perpetuates Mitchell's abuse.
There is such a thing as a psychological leash. There is also such a thing as Stockholm Syndrome. For anyone who questions this kidnapping case, think about this:why don't all kidnap victims try to escape? Not all of them do. I can name several kidnap victims who were too damn scared to try. Also if it's so easy to "just walk away" from an abusive or dangerous situation, why don't all battered wives leave their husbands? Why don't all abused kids run away from home or tell someone?
Since the place they were staying at was a homeless community they did not have access to a tv, therefore they did not know they'd been portrayed on "America's Most Wanted". While in California Mitchell tried to kidnap a 12 year old girl, but he failed. In February 2003 he was busted for breaking into a preschool. At his hearing he apologized, blamed demon rum, & promised never to do anything like that again. After being released he & his wife took Elizabeth back to Utah, & they were busted.
All the time Mitchell told Elizabeth that he had followers watching her family & if she tried anything she & her family would all be killed. She's not psychic, she had no idea that he was lying. In October her kidnappers took her to California, where they stayed in a homeless commune from October 2002 to March 2003. They continued to make Elizabeth wear a disguise, but there were no posters of Elizabeth there & as time went on they relaxed & sometimes they didn't wear disguises at all.
In July 2002 he tried & failed to kidnap Elizabeth's cousin. In August 2002 her kidnapper & his equally psycho wife made her wear Islamic-like clothes including a burqa over her face so they could go into town & she would not be recognized. He told her he had his knife on him & if she tried anything he would kill her. They were not in plain sight every day. Their trips into Salt Lake City were sporadic, & they were in plain sight off & on from August 2002 to October 2002.
There's nothing wrong about this case. This is the case:Elizabeth got kidnapped out of her bed by knife-wielding psycho who threatened to kill her & her family if she screamed, the psycho took her to his camp where he raped her & tied her by the ankle to a tree with a wire cable, kept her there for 2-3 months while he neglected her, terrorized her & abused her sexually, verbally, mentally, emotionally, & psychologically, after 2-3 months of that she was too terrified of him to try anything.

There is something about the way she behaves, like stop asking me questions, I can't believe im not in trouble yet, and if you don't stop, Im going to get busted! Maybe brainwashed, maybe she's hiding something? Id like to hear the story the 2 whacko's have told police. If she is hiding something? (If) I said, no better than she handles questions now, she will fall apart in a court trial on the stand. For her sake, I hope she was just a very confused 14 year old not to run or scream in public.
Yes. Richard Ricci was a con with a rap sheet a mile long who worked in the Smarts' home. He was on parole after serving a prison sentence for shooting a cop when he stole from the Smarts' & their neighbors. When Elizabeth was kidnapped, the cops found out about his arrest record & the stolen stuff & arrested him. He died in prison of a brain hemmorhage.

No she never will she gets help from her faimly and her chruch come on something is not right here you are gone for how long and the first thing want to do play your harp
In my opinion she was just trying to make light of things. You know trying not to make a big deal about it. She figured "I'm home. I'm safe. I wanna do the things I did before I was taken." So she decided to play the harp. I don't see the big deal.
Thanks for all the replies. I'd be interested in what all happened to her, but by all means if i were in her shoes, i wouldn't want the world to know either.
I bought that magazine. She doesn't tell a lot. She does say why she denied her identity to the cops but most of the stuff in there about what happened to her is stuff that has already been public knowledge for 5 years.
@Lizfan2 maybe she assumed every1 knew why she denied the identity she said and i quote "i was scared i knew the threats i had been told for nine months,"
@xxscandilous No one should just assume anything. In any case most of Ellizabeth's critics are either trolls or people who are too dumb to read about the case except in the tabloids.
the details i have heard was that she was repeatedly raped tied to a tree with a wire cable for 2 months straight and terrorized and abused for the entire 9 months. thats all i know.
I don't know if anyone's allowed to post whole movies on Youtube.Someone put this movie up once & it got taken down due to a violation of use or something.
It doesnt seem to be there anymore, it returns no search results. Id love to get it, I am so interested in this story. There use to be a 3 part documentary about it on youtube but soemone must have taken it down.

Elisabeth Smart is a Mormon. The kidnapper used her religion to manipulate her. Blame her parents for teaching her a cult religion that makes women weak minded.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
u do realize she wasnt tied up or anything like that, the only thing that kept her in the captures house when they left was the capture saying hed kill her if she left??!WTF? if i was in her shoes id..umm walk out and run to the neigbors house or something like that! stupid blonde dosnt deserve all the media attention she got, shit like this happens everyday.
I don't know how old you are, but I suspect you aren't a 14 year old girl who having been abducted from her bedroom and threatened with death. Heard of the Stockholm Sydrome? Even adult captives find it difficult to leave the situation, they become mentally dependent .... never mind. You wouldn't get it in a million years.
because they didnt want it to bring back memories. i have actually met her. my cousin is friends with her. i have only talked to her one time. she is very nice.
@xxscandilous According to a November 2003 tv guide article about the movie, Elizabeth asked the producers if she could play herself in the movie. The producers turned her down(obviously). She reportedly asked her mom "why don't they want me?" It was suggested in the article that she was most likey still in shock & hadn't yet put her abduction in perspective.
My teacher at CSUN, used to work for CBS and had a copy of the movie, which I worked from. I think you might be able to find it at blockbuster or order it through CBS. Sorry couldn't be of more help
Thank god she did not start her period or she would of possibly gotten pregnant and have that sick twisted mans baby.

All the time Mitchell told Elizabeth that he had followers watching her family & if she tried anything she & her family would all be killed. She's not psychic, she had no idea that he was lying. In October her kidnappers took her to California, where they stayed in a homeless commune from October 2002 to March 2003. They continued to make Elizabeth wear a disguise, but there were no posters of Elizabeth there & as time went on they relaxed & sometimes they didn't wear disguises at all.

In July 2002 he tried & failed to kidnap Elizabeth's cousin. In August 2002 her kidnapper & his equally psycho wife made her wear Islamic-like clothes including a burqa over her face so they could go into town & she would not be recognized. He told her he had his knife on him & if she tried anything he would kill her. They were not in plain sight every day. Their trips into Salt Lake City were sporadic, & they were in plain sight off & on from August 2002 to October 2002.

There's nothing wrong about this case. This is the case:Elizabeth got kidnapped out of her bed by knife-wielding psycho who threatened to kill her & her family if she screamed, the psycho took her to his camp where he raped her & tied her by the ankle to a tree with a wire cable, kept her there for 2-3 months while he neglected her, terrorized her & abused her sexually, verbally, mentally, emotionally, & psychologically, after 2-3 months of that she was too terrified of him to try anything.

There is something about the way she behaves, like stop asking me questions, I can't believe im not in trouble yet, and if you don't stop, Im going to get busted! Maybe brainwashed, maybe she's hiding something? Id like to hear the story the 2 whacko's have told police. If she is hiding something? (If) I said, no better than she handles questions now, she will fall apart in a court trial on the stand. For her sake, I hope she was just a very confused 14 year old not to run or scream in public.

Didnt some guy that they were investigating forever at start of it end up dying?

Yes. Richard Ricci was a con with a rap sheet a mile long who worked in the Smarts' home. He was on parole after serving a prison sentence for shooting a cop when he stole from the Smarts' & their neighbors. When Elizabeth was kidnapped, the cops found out about his arrest record & the stolen stuff & arrested him. He died in prison of a brain hemmorhage.

No she never will she gets help from her faimly and her chruch come on something is not right here you are gone for how long and the first thing want to do play your harp
kwhit1516 3 years ago
That's not the first thing she did. The first thing she did was take a bath. I read in her parents book that she'd been in therapy.
Lizfan2 3 years ago
In my opinion she was just trying to make light of things. You know trying not to make a big deal about it. She figured "I'm home. I'm safe. I wanna do the things I did before I was taken." So she decided to play the harp. I don't see the big deal.

Thanks for all the replies. I'd be interested in what all happened to her, but by all means if i were in her shoes, i wouldn't want the world to know either.

anamontana07 3 years ago
I bought that magazine. She doesn't tell a lot. She does say why she denied her identity to the cops but most of the stuff in there about what happened to her is stuff that has already been public knowledge for 5 years.
Lizfan2 3 years ago
@Lizfan2 maybe she assumed every1 knew why she denied the identity she said and i quote "i was scared i knew the threats i had been told for nine months,"
xxscandilous 3 months ago
@xxscandilous No one should just assume anything. In any case most of Ellizabeth's critics are either trolls or people who are too dumb to read about the case except in the tabloids.

the details i have heard was that she was repeatedly raped tied to a tree with a wire cable for 2 months straight and terrorized and abused for the entire 9 months. thats all i know.

Elisabeth Smart is a Mormon. The kidnapper used her religion to manipulate her. Blame her parents for teaching her a cult religion that makes women weak minded.

I don't know how old you are, but I suspect you aren't a 14 year old girl who having been abducted from her bedroom and threatened with death. Heard of the Stockholm Sydrome? Even adult captives find it difficult to leave the situation, they become mentally dependent .... never mind. You wouldn't get it in a million years.

hm, why didnt they think it'd be a good idea?
I think the girl who played her did a good job, and looks like her.

because they didnt want it to bring back memories. i have actually met her. my cousin is friends with her. i have only talked to her one time. she is very nice.

xxscandilous 3 months ago
@xxscandilous According to a November 2003 tv guide article about the movie, Elizabeth asked the producers if she could play herself in the movie. The producers turned her down(obviously). She reportedly asked her mom "why don't they want me?" It was suggested in the article that she was most likey still in shock & hadn't yet put her abduction in perspective.
