Page "Elizabeth Smart kidnapping" Paragraph 14

According to Smart's October 1, 2009 US federal court testimony, after Smart had gone to bed on June 4, 2002, a man Smart identified as Brian Mitchell had entered her bedroom and had " placed his hand on my chest and then put the knife up to my neck.

He told me to get up quietly and if I didn't then he would kill me and my family.

He was whispering, but it was still loud enough it could wake someone.

He was dressed in sweats, sweatshirt, stocking cap, tennis shoes.

" After Smart had been led to Mitchell's camp in the woods, a woman Smart identified as Wanda Barzee " eventually just proceeded to wash my feet and told me to change out of my pajamas into a robe type of garment.

And when I refused, she said if I didn't, she would have Brian Mitchell come rip my pajamas off.

I put the robe on.

He came and performed a ceremony, which was to marry me to him.

After that, he proceeded to rape me.
