This case was seriously mishandled by the Salt Lake City Police Department. They went after an innocent man and falsely accused Elizabeth's father and uncle of having child pornography on their computers (the police later admitted there wasn't any and refused to say why they made the false claim). A lot of heads should have rolled, but didn't. Shame on those officers.

How do they lay their head at night knowing their dirty work has caused that man's death?!!!! All because they wanted to pin it on someone without doing the actual work! So sickening by all means.

Brian David Mitchell came to our neighborhood with his weird cart-thing when I was young. I’m 2 years younger than Elizabeth, and this was before he had abducted her. I remember walking my dog (Bullmastiff) with my dad through the neighborhood and seeing him. He looked so bizarre, in a white robe thing, and just carrying this big cart behind him. He had absolutely crazy eyes. His wife was with him. The neighbors let him stay in their driveway, and everyone brought him food and stuff. It was a heavily LDS neighborhood and they all kinda took him on as their charity case, giving him big baskets of fruit and everything… I remember when we found out about Elizabeth going missing, and when she was found, and then seeing him again on the news and it was just like holy cow. That’s the guy. I’m so glad we had a big dog. I don’t know if anything would’ve happened but I am very thankful that my parents were so skeptical and wouldn’t let me anywhere near that guy, or let me walk alone while he was staying in the neighborhood.

Trauma makes you question others motives, intents, personality traits, character etc... For the most part you are not the shy little girl you once were, once you are free. You do become more courageous in some ways but not in others. But I will say this respect peoples wishes and do not ask many questions. i.e. One time after work hours one place I worked decided it was after work hours that it was o.k. to bring alcohol to a bbq that they threw for all the workers but asked that there be designated drivers and they also said that seeing that it is after work hours that they could bring a designated driver that could eat free but would only serve alcohol to workers. I choose just to go home and do not appreciate people asking where are you going I just said home, told to stay and said no thanks anyways, why? Now, stop it right there it is nobodies business why. Respect the name that people wish to be called by also. e.g. some people do not like to be called the childish shortened version of their names because they do not like to associate or go back to that little girl name anymore. One thing I know my children will never be around drunks, I am protective and they will never be and have never seen drunks in their lives. Just respect peoples wishes and stop and think before you ask people questions. Why I question peoples motives is because sometimes people do shorten my name and I request they do not do that and they argue about it and say that my name sounds harsh and not gentle. I do not care for your opinion, others I have confessed what I went through and I tell them that girl is gone and none existant and in the past and can stay there. Then I find some still choose not to listen. Some choose to tick you off and trigger you anyways. People can be pathetic. If coping is making one stronger than yes you do become better able to cope with problems as there are things you see and hear that are similar or reminders everyday. i.e. beer stores. I hate them, but they are not going away just for me. Going out to eat and people order beer I do move to a different table not to see it and make my evening more enjoyable. Do not question me.Yeah, I watch this stuff, but as I said there are those days I get curious about personalities as I see there are many kinds of people in this world and life does not stop and one must go on. I queston people that give people the benifit of the doubt and think maybe you will regret that. Unless you are a child, people do and say things all for a reason, I will question motif. I will also not let those who try to put me down know that things bother me. We have no choice but to carry on.

No matter how many times I've heard about this story, I always find it so intriguing. How frightened Elizabeth must have been, as well as, obviously her parents. So glad she was finally found and is a survivor, sharing her story.

I really appreciate that instead of making these videos about the abusers you give the voice to the survivors. Lots of media focus on the crime and the criminal instead of the survivors and victims that deserve the focus.

Another little girl (a black girl) a few years younger than Elizabeth went missing the same day 1,000 miles from her location. FBI we’re almost immediately involved in bringing Elizabeth home and even offered a 200,000 reward. But for the little black girl it took 3 days before the FBI got involved and when they did they only offered 10,000. This is what we mean when we say our cases are not handled the same as those of non black women and girls and this is why so many were outraged at the coverage Gabby Petito received in comparison to other black people missing around the same time as her even after she and Brian were recovered their coverage went on and yet this little black girl was never found. And yet knowing this and knowing the black population sees this in 2022 cases are still handled the same. It’s disgusting.

Yeah, he’s got an entertaining personality but definitely should be putting it to use on more appropriate content instead of horrific crimes. I also dislike the abundance of true crime channels where girls are doing their make up (or anything where their face/personality is unnecessarily and excessively focused on) whilst recounting true crime cases like it’s a story time video, really distasteful. True crime channels in general have a big issue in treating these crimes as exciting thriller or mystery who-dun-it stories and not the most horrific thing to have happened to another human being. I do at least appreciate some that purposely leave out sex abuse details (especially when the victim is a child) as there’s no need to hurt the victim or the family further by spreading it for shock value, or to potentially be something a freak wants to hear about for the wrong reasons. Definitely need to be careful true crime content isn’t accidentally being consumed for the wrong reasons by the wrong people.

Ugh - the whole “we have a choice” narrative at the end really irked me. Current data suggests of our resiliency (whether we thrive or suffer after trauma) is genetic. Nurture/non genetic factors can influence it too of course but to suggest everyone just has control over if they suffer or not is just toxic in my opinion. Validating pain heals more than shaming someone for still being affected by trauma any day.

Her interviews raise a TON of questions...

My God! Can you IMAGINE having a Mom or Dad like hers?!! Wow, that must be an unbelievable feeling!

Omg. Remembering her Mom’s words. I love Elizabeth Smart. She is America’s child. I’m so glad she was found alive. ♥️♥️♥️

By accusing this innocent man it killed him how despicable!

I've heard this story a few times before. But this is the first time I've ever heard about them arresting the wrong guy. So sad that he died an innocent man... I'm loving this channel though. New subscriber here.

ive read her book about her story multiple times. its heartbreaking and her bravery is so inspiring.

Amazing woman can't imagine what it must have been like for her ❤ an I'm so glad she made it through....

Hearing surviour stories always help me. I went though abuse when I was little, but I did everything in my life afterwards to never be a victim, to never let my life be held down by that person. I moved on. The experience shaped me but it did not define me. There were days where I wondered if I let myself to stay as a victim how would my life be now? I knew someone that went through a similar type of abuse, sadly, for him he held on to it, he would constantly be angry, blaming all his actions on his experiences. He stayed a victim even though it had happened many many years prior. I tried to connect with him on a level, but it felt like he didn't want to move or help himself.

So so sorry to hear about your sad, traumatic experience... keep strong, stay positive!!! You are a survivor!!!

When her dad meets her again.. Damn! Then I remembered how during slavery, families where constantly destroyed, abducted, raped, trafficked, never saw each other again. What a cruel tragedy, Americans have still a thirst for destruction and blood in them certainly

I don't understand why people do this to children. For you to be able to speak about this and create awareness you are a very strong woman.

Amazing channel

A couple weeks ago I was with 2 people who witnessed the exact same incident from the same position and interpreted it in 2 different ways. That was proof to me that memory an eye witnesses are untrustworthy and often so biased that I get second opinions on simple "goodays"..

That is true. That is why many courts don’t rely on just a witness testimony anymore. Recently a man was was exonerated after spending years in prison for a r4pe. The victim in that case testified it was him but dna testing done many years later concluded it wasn’t him.

Yes, same here. I witnessed a traffic accident but some other witness was giving the wrong information. Idiot!

Okay? And? She was kidnapped, chained up, r*ped, and tortured. Are you trying to say that didn’t happen? Or do you think it wasn’t that bad and she just went on a friendly little camping trip with the neighborhood kiddie fiddler?

🦋 Elizabeth has an amazingly beautiful Soul and this can't ever be taken from her. And by the way,, Elizabeth is also very beautiful on the outside.💖 🥀 God Bless Her🕊

What a wonderful person you are Elizabeth. I’m so sorry you and your family had to go through this. Be happy, be you. 😊❤️😊

This person is so strong, unimaginable strength, incomprehensible.

Elizabeth Smart is one of the strongest people I've ever seen.

I would break down and cry if someone said to me “ If your Elizabeth Smart…..”. I wouldn’t believe it.

This little girl was very very very "lucky" in a way to have such amazing parents who loved her that is why she is so strong! Behind every strong man and woman is there parent's education

Beautiful ending. God bless her. She has such a good heart

I have NEVER heard of this man. What a grave injustice.

Innocent until proven guilty. That first guy fell victim to the system.

Idk why but I keep getting tinder ads when I watch your lovely videos 💀✋

You’re definitely gonna blow up I gotta check again tonight to see if your sub count rose
