The abduction of Elizabeth and her rescue were widely reported and were the subject of a made- for- television movie and a published book.[1]Abduction[edit]Edward Smart and his wife Lois lived in the affluent neighborhood of Federal Heights in Salt Lake City, Utah, with their six children.[2] On the evening of June 4, 2.

If the children got up and moved [in the night], it would set the alarm off. And so we just said we're not going to bother with it," Lois later explained.[3]In the early hours of June 5, Brian David Mitchell broke into the home and came to the bedroom that Elizabeth shared with her 9- year- old sister, Mary Katherine.[4] While Mary Katherine pretended to be asleep,[5] she watched the abduction,[6] and later gave these statements as to what happened: A white man about the height of her brother Charles (5 ft 8 in; 1. He was actually wearing black, did not have a golf hat, and was 4. He had dark hair, and also dark hair on his arms and on the back of his hands.[8]The man threatened Elizabeth with a knife (which Mary Katherine thought was a gun at the time)[9]When Elizabeth said "ouch" after stubbing her toe on a chair, Mitchell said something that sounded like: "You better be quiet, and I won't hurt you."[1.

She heard Elizabeth ask "Why are you doing this?" and though the answer was not clear, Mary Katherine thought the answer might have been "for ransom."[1. Mitchell was soft- spoken — even polite, calm, and nicely dressed.[8]Although Mitchell spoke to Elizabeth quietly, Mary Katherine thought Mitchell's voice seemed somehow familiar, but she couldn't pinpoint where or when she had heard it.[1. She never got a good look at Mitchell's face.[1. This fact was kept a secret by the police during the investigation.[1. By listening to the creaking floor as Elizabeth and Mitchell walked, Mary Katherine thought she could tell where Mitchell and Elizabeth were. When it seemed safe, Mary Katherine hopped out of bed to tell her parents.

But she froze in terror when she nearly ran into Mitchell and Elizabeth as they seemed to be looking into her brothers' bedroom.[1. Fearful that she had been spotted by the abductor, she crept back into her bed.

I thought, you know, be quiet, because if he hears you, he might take you too, and you're the only person who has seen this," Mary Katherine said in a later interview. I was, like, shaking."[9] She hid for an undetermined amount of time. Investigators later concluded that she may have been hiding over two hours before she felt safe enough to come out.[5]Just before 4 a. Mary Katherine came to her parents' bedroom and woke them up.

She told them Elizabeth was gone, but her parents thought she was having a bad dream. Watch Agent Streaming. Ed went from room to room, and didn't find her. Mary Katherine told him, "You're not going to find her. A man came and took her. He had a knife."[1. Still, the parents found this hard to believe until Lois spotted a screen window downstairs that had been cut with a knife.[1.

The next day, Ed and Lois went on television and asked the kidnapper to return their daughter.[1. A massive search for Elizabeth began.[1. Search and investigation[edit]A massive regional search effort, organized by the Laura Recovery Center, looked for Elizabeth in the days immediately following her abduction. Up to 2,0. 00 volunteers a day were dispatched to the area surrounding her home trying to find any trace of the missing girl.[1. Word spread quickly as an impromptu coalition of websites facilitated the distribution of information about Elizabeth Smart with flyers that could be downloaded for printing or immediately circulated online by email or Internet fax. Volunteers combed the hills near her family's home and extended the search using search dogs and aircraft. After many days of intensive searching, the community- led search was closed by the local volunteers and efforts were directed to other means of finding Elizabeth.

Although police had an eyewitness in Mary Katherine, her report was not very helpful to investigators. Furthermore, there was almost no significant forensic evidence such as clear fingerprints or DNA samples to help identify the abductor, hindering the investigation.

A search using bloodhounds was unsuccessful in following Mitchell and Elizabeth's path on foot. Police questioned and interviewed hundreds of potential suspects including one individual, Bret Michael Edmunds, a 2. West Virginia hospital.

One by one, the leads that were pursued often put at- large criminals back in prison, but they did not produce the desired result of finding Elizabeth.[2. The Salt Lake City police ultimately announced that their prime person of interest in the case was Richard Ricci, a handyman who had worked for the Smarts. Ricci died in jail from a brain hemorrhage a few weeks after he refused to provide a confession to Utah corrections officers.[2. With his death, it seemed that all leads were exhausted.

When the actual kidnappers were apprehended nine months after Elizabeth's abduction, Ricci's widow issued a statement expressing relief at Smart's safe return and her husband's innocence. On December 1. 8, 2. Angela Morse Ricci committed suicide, her son stating she never recovered from her husband's death.[2.

The Smarts and their extended family persistently maintained a presence in the local and national media, in order to keep Elizabeth's name in the press, providing the media with home videos of her as a teenager and as a child, and created a website to serve as a resource center. After several months, a breakthrough came in October 2. Mary Katherine suddenly remembered where she had heard Mitchell's voice, telling her parents, "I think I know who it is: Emmanuel."[1. The Smarts sought to help unemployed people in the community by paying them for odd jobs or handy work around the property.[2. Mitchell, who called himself "Emmanuel", had been the one who informed many homeless people that the Smarts would hire them and also worked for them himself one day. He worked at the Smarts' home for five hours, helping on the roof and raking leaves.[2. Mary Katherine now identified "Emmanuel"/Mitchell as the man who had abducted her sister.

When this was reported to the police, they had doubts as to its reliability. Mary Katherine had barely heard the suspect's quiet voice and for only a few minutes, and had just awakened from sleep. When it was reported several months later that she thought it was the voice of a man she had only met briefly and more than a year before, the police did not consider it a worthy lead. Tensions developed as the parents accused the police of not thoroughly following up on this lead. The family used the services of sketch artist Dalene Nielson[2.
