As you probably recall, Elizabeth Ann Smart, was the 14-year-old Salt Lake City resident, whom was abducted by an armed intruder in the early morning hours of Wednesday, 5 June 2002. The intruder forced his way through the window of her bedroom (according to her 9-year-old sister, who shared the bedroom with her and was the only witness to the event).
Over nine months later, on 12 March 2003, police announced Elizabeth Smart had been found in Sandy, Utah.
A year after her safe recovery, Elizabeth’s parents call her a normal, independent 16-year-old — complete with boyfriends, a curfew, a messy room and an overused cell phone.
