Elizabeth Smart was abducted from her bedroom on June 5, 2002 by Brian David Mitchell when she was just 14 years old. Now seven years later, she is testifying in court against her abductor and his estranged wife who also took part in her kidnapping. According to Smart she was brought to a mountain camp where she was raped repeatedly. She was held captive with a cable attached to her leg that had a 10-foot reach. The cable was attached to another wire that was tied to two tress. She was drugged and given alcohol to reduce her resistance. Smart was found nine months after she disappeared in the company of Mitchell and his wife. The Elizabeth Smart testimony painted a horrid picture of what Smart went through during her abduction. Mitchell is described by Smart as "evil, wicked, manipulative, stinky, slimy, selfish, not spiritual, not religious, not close to God, He said that he would kill anybody that would come into the camp, or kill me if I ever tried to escape or yell out."
