Hi, crime junkies. It's Britt surprising you in your feed with a special interview. Back in

2021, Ashley and I released our episode, survived Elizabeth Smart, where we walked you through

Elizabeth's kidnapping and truly remarkable return. If you haven't heard our original episode

covering the case or just need a refresher, please be sure to go back and listen. We were so

fortunate to be able to speak

to Elizabeth about her experience, giving you all a chance to hear from Elizabeth herself.

But that was just a small part of a much larger conversation that we had with her. And that is what

you'll hear in this episode. The full conversation between Ashley and Elizabeth back from 2021

to give us a more in-depth look at everything she survived and her life since.

We originally released this in our fan club, but are bringing it out of the archives for everyone today.

So now, on to our conversation with Elizabeth Smart.

Hi, crime junkies.

For all of you who are interested, we wanted to give you a little peek behind the curtain.

So we just released our regular episode called Survived Elizabeth Smart.

But if you'd like, we are also releasing this episode, which is just the raw audio of Elizabeth and me sitting down, doing the

interview, having the conversation that you hear part of in the episode. So if you are interested

in the whole thing, take a listen. And just so you know, I think there are moments where I say

something like, oh, don't worry, this isn't for the podcast or we don't have to use this. We did get her permission to put everything out there that we have.

And I'm glad because I think Elizabeth has so many important things to say.

So enjoy this audio extra.

And don't forget to listen to the regular episode that this is made for, survived Elizabeth Smart. So Elizabeth, where I'd like to have you start is really giving the listener again,

where we kind of leave off is you have been found.
