On June 5, 2002, every parent's worse nightmare came true. A child is missing, but to make matters worse, she was taken from her own home. Join Deb and Beth as they discuss the night that 14-year old Elizabeth Smart was abducted from her bed in the middle of the night. We go into depth on what her parents, siblings, uncles, and the community went through as they told the authorities everything they knew to try to bring Elizabeth home. After several month, Elizabeth's own sister was able to provide information on who took Elizabeth, which got the ball rolling on a nationwide manhunt for a man named Emmanuel. Don't miss part one of Elizabeth Smart, as we talk about the family's ordeal throughout this case.
