SALT LAKE CITY – A woman who helped kidnap Elizabeth Smart is living several blocks from a Salt Lake City elementary school following her release from prison in September, according to Utah's sex-offender registry.
Wanda Barzee, 73, is listed in the registry as living in an apartment near the school after her initial placement in a halfway house. She was released on parole much earlier than anticipated, despite her refusal to cooperate with mental health professionals while incarcerated.

She was sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2010 after pleading guilty to helping her husband, street preacher Brian David Mitchell, who abducted Smart at knifepoint in 2002 when she was 14 and repeatedly raped her.
Smart was held captive for nine months before she was found and rescued.
Smart, now 31, has become a child safety advocate and is married with three young children. She said in a statement that people with a history of child abuse and sexual violence such as Barzee shouldn't be allowed to live close to schools.
...
Smart previously criticized Barzee's release, which came more than five years earlier than expected after the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole determined it had miscalculated the time Barzee was required to serve in prison.
Smart called it "incomprehensible" that someone who had not cooperated with her mental health evaluations or risk assessments could be let out

Life has been so cheap for decades that this stuff is normal now.
I imagine most of SLC is within a few blocks of a school.
You are correct.
Torches. Mob. Rope. Tree. End of child rapist.
Vagina card is a get out of jail free card, apparently.
What guy do they let out, especially one that doesnt cooperate with the supposed rehab folks?
She should have been left in, and died, in jail.
Now there’s a guy I wouldn’t mind if someone...
Well, never mind.
Released because she has a vagina.
Did she define 'close'?
I wonder if all the schools in SLC could be mapped and the distance between them plotted.
INDEED!
