Amy Robach and TJ Holmes present... Killer Thriller with your host, Alisa Donovan. Hey everybody, Alisa Donovan here and welcome to Killer Thriller. Today, we are talking about one of the most horrifying abduction cases in modern American history, the kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart. In June of 2002, Elizabeth was just 14 years old when she was taken at knife point from her bedroom in Salt Lake City in the middle of the night. What followed was a nine-month nightmare of captivity, abuse, public sightings, missed clues, and a country desperately hoping she would be found alive. Then in March of 2003, Elizabeth was finally rescued on a street in Utah with the people who had abducted her. The Lifetime film, I Am Elizabeth Smart, tells that story in a deeply personal way, with Elizabeth herself serving as narrator, refusing to let the audience look away or distance themselves from what she endured.
