Elizabeth Smart, 'crime survivor'
Elizabeth Smart told a conference of 200 crime victims that when religious fanatic Brian David Mitchell kidnapped her to be his plural wife in 2002, she tried to reason with him. She told him that if he released her, she would speak on his behalf. Smart also prayed:

Heavenly Father, help me. Help me find a way to escape.

When Mitchell forced her to hike into the foothills above her Salt Lake City home she thought, "I'm going to be raped and he's going to kill me and five years from now they'll find my remains in a ditch . . . ."

The 21-year-old Brigham Young University music student spoke about the kidnapping that made her name a worldwide household word at the Crime Victims' Conference at the Capitol.

Guts.
And, she plays the harp like an angel, too.
The Smarts have to be very proud.

'crime survivor' in quotes? You don't think she really is one?
