Summary
Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped in her home when she was just 14-years-old. After enduring torture at the hands of a self-proclaimed prophet, she managed to escape 9 months later.
There are parallels between Elizabeth Smart’s case and the recent disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. Elizabeth Smart’s strength and perseverance is a reminder that not every kidnapping ends as you’d expect.
