In the dead of a June night in 2002, 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart was taken from her bedroom in Salt Lake City. Her younger sister, Mary Katherine, lay terrified, pretending to be asleep as an intruder cut the window screen, held a knife to Elizabeth's throat, and led her silently out into the darkness.
