Wanda Barzee Biography – Wanda Barzee Wiki

Wanda Barzee full name Wanda Elaine Barzee, is the woman convicted of helping to abduct Elizabeth Smart. Elizabeth Smart was abducted from her home in the Federal Heights neighborhood of Salt Lake City, Utah on June 5, 2002 at the age of 14.

Barzee was first sentenced in 2010 to 15 years in federal prison for assisting in the 2002 abduction of Smart. When she was released from federal prison in 2016, however, she was sentenced to another 1-15 years in state prison on a felony charge for a separate attempted abduction of Smart’s cousin about a month after the first kidnapping.

Smart was kidnapped by Brian David Mitchell, and held captive for nine months. She was rescued after people saw her in Sandy, Utah, with Mitchell and Barzee, who had been identified as suspects in the abduction.

Wanda Barzee will be released from prison on September 19, 2018. In a statement, the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole said, “Upon further review and advice from legal counsel, the board must count time spent in federal custody toward Ms. Barzee’s state sentence. Therefore, Ms. Barzee’s state sentence ends on Sept. 19, 2018.”
