Salt Lake City, UT (AHN) – A woman who helped her husband abduct a teenager in March 2002 and enslaved her for nine months pleaded guilty to kidnapping charges before a Salt Lake City court on Tuesday.
Wanda Eileen Barzee, 64, also agreed to a 15-year-sentence and to testify against her husband, Brian David Mitchell, for the kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart when she was 14. Mitchell, a self-proclaimed prophet, took Smart to a remote camp and made her his bride.
Barzee helped Mitchell keep Smart chained. Smart was raped several times by Mitchell.
The trial of Mitchell is pending as prosecutors worked to prove he is mentally competent to face charges in court.
