"You are the only woman that God sent us to . . . We are one, even as I am one with the Father," Mitchell said in a four-page handwritten marriage proffer to Julie Adkison dated March 1, 2001.

Notice how Julie Adkison looks amazingly like a brunette Elizabeth Smart. I wouldn't be surprised if Barzee had much the same look in her younger days. Ted Bundy had a look and hairstyle he preferred in his victoms.

Accused Elizabeth Smart kidnapper Brian David Mitchell proposed marriage to a 20-year-old woman two years ago, telling her God wanted her to become his plural wife and join him and wife Wanda Barzee in the rugged foothills east of Salt Lake City.
"You are the only woman that God sent us to . . . We are one, even as I am one with the Father," Mitchell said in a four-page handwritten marriage proffer to Julie Adkison dated March 1, 2001.
Adkison, who was engaged, rebuffed his proposal, telling Mitchell he "was crazy." She met Mitchell while working in the shoe department of a store at the Fashion Place mall.
Mitchell "was always hanging around and talking about what God had talked to him about [and] he was really into sandals," she told The Salt Lake Tribune on Monday. She also was interviewed by police.
Also Monday, The Tribune learned that police, who had been unable to find Mitchell, expected to be able to interview him at April's LDS General Conference, the semi-annual gathering of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Mitchell was a regular fixture among the Temple Square-area crowds, in his dingy white robe and wild beard. Police said Mitchell was reportedly at October's conference, seeking converts to his doom-and-damnation style religion. Shortly afterwards, the Smart family went to police with their suspicion that the religious zealot had snatched the girl from her bedroom.
