8. Elizabeth Smart

Elizabeth Smart was abducted from her home in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2002. She was only 14 years old at the time of her abduction. She was abducted by Brian David Mitchell who, after abducting her, forced her to hike for hours to reach a campsite.

There, Mitchell’s partner, Wanda Barzee, was waiting for them. Barzee performed a marriage ceremony between Mitchell and Smart, and Smart was then raped by Mitchell. Smart was with Mitchell for 9 months but she chose not to run away despite opportunities to do so. One time, she was even quizzed by a police officer, but she chose to hide her true identity. Mitchell was eventually caught and Elizabeth freed, Mitchell was sentenced to life imprisonment and Barzee was sentenced to 15 years.
