I wanted to post this more current picture of Elizabeth Smart at age 14
Someone has started a domain in Elizabeth's name. You can visit site to see more pictures of her and to find more out more information. www.elizabethsmart.com
I'm hoping police have help from profilers and are tracking down hospital employees who might have been around the family at the hospital. The grandfather was very close to his missing granddaughter - I could see him talking about her to one of his hospital helpers.
I had a dreadful image before I woke up this am - a once beautiful face in the first stages of decomposition, a fearful expression, the lips drawn back exposing the teeth. My dream voice said "beth" I've been very upset all morning because I thought it was an image of my big sister Beth. I've been think of calling her and telling her to be careful.
And then, while property manager at a large downtown office building in San Francisco, she was threatened with death by a crazed lunatic on the security force of the building. He got into her office, got her home phone and address, left threatening calls on her office and home phones. San Fran police, the building security force, and an additional security force in the building guarding secret operations for a large company based there could do NOTHING as she hadn't been killed yet. She RAN to Idaho and married a big, strong sheriff. How's that for self-preservation! Now she lives on a ranch with hubby, huge dogs, and knows how to use her gun.
This girl looks closer to 10 than she does 14. IF the animal that kidnapped her allows her to live and go free,he should be imprisoned for the rest of his natural life,and then fed to the dogs. If he murders her,he should be immediately put to death as soon as found guilty. We have no right to call ourselves a civilization as long as we allow child rapists and murderers to ever go free again.
