Elizabeth Smart kidnapper arrested after visiting Utah parks | Banfield

Stacey Honowitz, a veteran sex crimes prosecutor from South Florida, joins NewsNation to discuss the recent arrest of Wanda Barzee for parole violations. In 2002, Barzee and her husband, Brian David Mitchell, kidnapped 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart from her Utah home, holding her captive for nine months while repeatedly assaulting her. While Mitchell received a life sentence, Barzee was released in 2018 under supervision. Last month, the 79-year-old registered sex offender was arrested after allegedly entering two public parks, locations designated as "protected places" under Utah law.
