Smart kidnapper released from Utah prison

DRAPER, Utah (AP) – One of Elizabeth Smart’s kidnappers has been placed on the Utah sex offender registry after her release from prison.

The online registry shows Wanda Barzee’s conviction on federal and state charges in the 2002 kidnapping of then 14-year-old Smart.

The registry shows the addresses of convicted Utah sex offenders and is a condition of Barzee’s release.

Barzee’s registration shows her address as the Utah State Prison in Draper, outside Salt Lake City.

Prison and probation officials did not immediately respond to email and phone messages seeking comment on when her address outside prison would be listed on the site.

She was released Wednesday morning after 15 years in custody.

Federal agents overseeing her five years on supervised release have said she will have a place to live, but haven’t released specific information.

She pleaded guilty to helping her husband, street preacher Brian David Mitchell, who took Smart from her bedroom at knifepoint.
