  Elizabeth Smart kidnapping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elizabeth Ann Smart (born November 3, 1987) is an American girl from Salt Lake City, Utah who was kidnapped June 5, 2002, in the morning hours from her house in the Federal Heights area of the city.
Smart was finally recognized by the officers during questioning, and was promptly reunited with her parents, little sister and four brothers.
Smart's heavier appearance, and the timing of her recovery—Smart was missing for some ten months—led to some speculation that Smart's kidnapping was an elaborate ruse to cover up an embarrassing pregnancy, but such notions are generally not considered likely and are furthermore unsupported by any evidence or testimony.

Elizabeth Smart (December 27, 1913 – March 4, 1986) was a Canadian poet and novelist.
Smart was born to a prominent family in Ottawa, Ontario; her father was an attorney, and the family had a house on Kingsmere Lake next door to the future Prime Minister, WL Mackenzie King.
In 1966, Smart retired from commercial writing and relocated to a cottage in north Suffolk named "The Dell." It was here she produced the bulk of her literary work, much of which has been published posthumously.
