'Epstein-Maxwell Case Echoes Mine' | Elizabeth Smart: Exclusive Interview

Wanda Barzee and Brian David Mitchell kidnapped 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart from her bedroom in 2002 and held her captive for months. In this episode, Elizabeth Smart opens up about her past and why the Epstein–Maxwell case hits close to home. She talks with Ashleigh Banfield about the patterns she recognizes in powerful predators, how victims are targeted, and why certain details in that case feel so familiar to her. She also says that after Virginia Giuffre’s death, she felt like it was a wake-up call, a reminder of how badly we need to listen and act when survivors speak.
