I entered the library and looked around for a short period. I then noticed
two females sitting at a table. Both were wearing full length outfits that
covered everything but their eyes. I sat next to the younger of the two. I
remember estimating that the younger female was about 18 years old. The
other was clearly much older. I showed a badge and introduced myself. They
didn't respond. I told the ladies that I was investigating the abduction of
Elizabeth Smart. I still did not get a response. I continued to try to get
either female to respond but neither spoke a word. I remember thinking that
the women might not speak English.
The older female then motioned to a man on the other side of the library. I
sat with the women for several minutes until he walked over. I remember
that the man was thin, 40's with a full beard. I've seen pictures of the
A/P in the abduction case but I can't say for sure that it was that person.
Again, I introduced myself, showed identification and told the man that I
was investigating the E.S. abduction. He told me his name. It was a long
middle eastern name. He motioned to the females and said that they were his
wife and a relative (I don't remember what relation). Both females were now
standing.
I questioned the man about the younger female. I can't remember whether he
said that she was 17, 18 or 19 years old but it confirmed my initial
estimation that the female was too old to by E.S. I told him that I needed
to look at her face (I wanted to see his reaction). He said that it was a
strong religious edict that females could never show their faces in public
under any circumstances. I pushed him on the issue but he didn't get
defensive at all. He just reiterated his religious objection.
I didn't push the religious issue any further for the following reasons:
1) The complainant didn't have any information beyond the fact that the
female's eyes looked like Elizabeth's eyes. I made significant eye contact
with the female and couldn't make the same connection.
2) The female appeared to me to be about 18 years old. The man
independently said that she was about that age.

IN A CABIN THAT LOOKS LIKE THE CABIN ON THE HARRY POTTER MOVIE. (I HAVE NOT
VIEWED THE HARRY POTTER MOVIE).
SAID THE NEIGHBOR
THE IDAHO BORDER.
SAID SHE WOULD RECOGNIZE THE AREA ON A MAP. (NO MAP WAS READILY
AVAILABLE, SO THE FATHER WENT TO THE STORE TO GET ONE).
FELT THE MOTIVE FOR THE KIDNAPPING WAS FOR A RANSOM, BUT THERE WERE
TOO MANY SEARCHERS. SHE SAID
AND
BOTH FELT MONEY WAS INVOLVED.
SAID THERE WERE TWO "K-9'S", POLICE DOGS, BEHIND THE HOUSE. THERE
WAS A BADGE ON THE FIREPLACE MANTEL, LIKE A FIREMAN'S, POLICEMAN'S, OR
SECURITY GUARDS.
HAS HAD PREMONITIONS (DREAMS) BEFORE THAT CAME
TRUE. SOMETIMES THEY CAME TRUE THE SAME DAY, SOMETIMES THREE WEEKS LATER.
SHE HAS HAD FIVE TO TEN OF THESE EXPERIENCES.
TOLD
TO TELL ME ABOUT THEM (SUSPECTS) GIVING THE VICTIM'S RED
PAJAMAS TO THE DARK COMPLECTED SUSPECT TO GIVE TO HIS DAUGHTER.
REPEATED THE STATEMENT.
SAID THE CABIN IS AMONGST SOME PINE TREES, AND NEAR A CREEK THAT RUNS
BETWEEN TWO TOWNS. THERE ARE SOME ROCKS BY THE CREEK THAT FORM A BRIDGE
ACROSS IT. (
DREW A PICTURE OF THE CABIN AND THE SURROUNDINGS. ON THE
REVERSE SIDE OF THE PAPER SHE DREW THE INTERIOR OF THE CABIN). THE VICTIM
TRIED TO ESCAPE BY RUNNING TO THE CREEK AND HIDING UNDER THE ROCK BRIDGE.
ONE SUSPECT HAS A RIFLE, THE OTHER A HANDGUN. AT THIS POINT
WOKE UP.
THERE IS A DIRT ROAD LEADING UP TO THE CABIN, AND A PAVED ROAD ABOUT TWO
MILES AWAY. THERE IS NO POWER IN THE CABIN. THEY USE A CELL PHONE, AND
HAVE TO GO TO THE CREEK FOR WATER.
SAID
THE TIRES.
SAID THE DOGS BARK A LOT, NOT AS THOUGH THEY ARE ANNOYED, BUT AS
THOUGH THEY ARE GUARDING THE VICTIM. THE VICTIM HAS HER LEGS TIED TO A
CHAIR, AND HER ARMS TIED BEHIND HER BACK.
AT 19:45 INVOLVED PERSON #88,
, CAME TO THE
HOUSE TO
BE INTERVIEWED. WHEN I IDENTIFIED MYSELF, SHE WAS CLEARLY DISAPPOINTED,
SAYING SHE THOUGHT
WOULD BE THE ONE TO COME TO SEE HER. I ASKED
WHO
WAS. SHE SAID THE FBI AGENT SHE HAS BEEN TALKING TO ON THE
PHONE. SHE HAD JUST TALKED TO HIM A HALF HOUR BEFORE. I INTERVIEWED

OUTDOORS.
SAID SHE HAS HAD PSYCHIC ABILITIES FOR YEARS. SHE HAS TRAINED AND
DEVELOPED THEM.
SAID THE VICTIM WALKED OUT OF THE HOUSE. THE SUSPECT HAD A GUN TO THE
BACK OF HER HEAD. THE SUSPECT IS A MALE, WHITE, VERY TALL, WITH A MUSTACHE,
ALTHOUGH HE HAS SINCE SHAVED IT OFF. THE MAN WAITING IN THE VEHICLE IS DARK
COMPLECTED, MAYBE HISPANIC. HE IS BRAWNY. THEY WENT NORTH ON I-15. THE
VICTIM WAS ASLEEP.
DIDN'T FEEL THERE WAS ANY IMPACT THAT MADE THE
VICTIM GO TO SLEEP, SO SHE ASSUMES THEY DRUGGED HER. SHE IS FOUR HOURS FROM
HER HOME. THE WHITE MALE IS ABOUT 6'5" TALL. THE DARK HAIRED MAN IS MAYBE
5'10." THERE IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE SUSPECTS AND MR SMART. THERE IS A
BADGE. THEY ARE IN A BIG ONE ROOM SHACK THAT HAS NO POWER. THEY ARE 50
YARDS FROM THE CREEK. THE CREEK RUNS BETWEEN TWO TOWNS. THEY ARE USING TWO
VEHICLES. THEY LEFT THE ESCAPE VEHICLE IN LOGAN, THEN THEY DROVE ACROSS THE
BORDER. THERE IS A SMELL OF POTATOES, SO THEY'RE IN IDAHO. THE VICTIM HAS
TRIED TO ESCAPE TWICE. THE SECOND TIME SHE WAS CAUGHT BY THE HAIR. ONE GUY
WAS GETTING WATER IN TWO BUCKETS, ONE BUCKET WAS BLUE PLASTIC. THE VICTIM
IS WEARING AN OFF WHITE T-SHIRT WITH SOME KIND OF PRINTING OR DESIGN ON THE
LEFT BREAST. SHE HAS BEEN WEARING THIS T-SHIRT SINCE JUST AFTER THE
ABDUCTION. THE SECOND TIME SHE RAN AWAY, THE SUSPECT KNOCKED HER DOWN, AND
SHE SCRAPED HER RIGHT ELBOW AND KNEES, BUT NOT ON THE GROUND, BUT ON THE
PINE CONES. SHE ONLY HAS FOUR DAYS. THE BADGE IS SOME KIND OF FIRE BADGE.
THE BADGE IS THE CONNECTION TO THE VICTIM'S FATHER. THE FATHER KNOWS WHAT
THE CONNECTION IS, BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT HE KNOWS. THERE ARE ONLY THREE
CHAIRS IN THE CABIN. SHE IS KEPT IN THE SAME CHAIR ALL OF THE TIME. THE
DARK COMPLECTED SUSPECT COMES AND GOES. HE IS THE ONE WHO IS UPSET.
SAYS SHE HEARS MONEY JINGLING. HE ARGUES WITH THE WHITE GUY. THE WHITE
GUY, EVEN THOUGH HE ABDUCTED THE VICTIM, IS PROTECTING HER FROM THE DARK
COMPLECTED GUY.
THE DARK COMPLECTED SUSPECT COMES AND GOES. HE IS DOING WHAT HE IS SUPPOSED
TO BE DOING EACH DAY. ON THE NIGHT OF THE KIDNAPPING, THE DARK COMPLECTED
SUSPECT WAS IN DARK CLOTHING, AND WAS WEARING A BEANIE CAP. THE WHITE GUY
WAS IN LIGHT CLOTHES, LIKE THEY WERE OPPOSITES; ONE WAS THE BRAINS, THE
OTHER THE BRAWN.
THE ROAD TO THE CABIN IS VERY RUGGED. THEY ARE USING A 4X4, AS SHE CAN SEE
THE BIG TIRES AND KNOBS. THE PINE TREES ARE QUITE BIG. THEIR TRUNKS ARE
BARE QUITE HIGH UP BEFORE THE BRANCHES START.
AT THE VICTIM'S HOUSE SHE CAN SEE TWO BEDS; ONE IN LIGHT PINK, ONE IN LIGHT
BLUE.

SHOWED ME HER MAP WHERE SHE SAID THE VICTIM WAS BEING HELD. THE TWO
TOWNS SHE MENTIONED EARLIER WERE GARDEN CITY, UTAH, AND MALAD, IDAHO. THE
NAME OF THE CREEK THAT RUNS BETWEEN THEM IS MINK CREEK. THIS IS WHERE SHE
IS BEING HELD. SHE CAN PINPOINT THE LOCATION WITHIN TEN MILES. THE CREEK
FORKS AT SODA SPRINGS.
THE SUSPECTS HAVE IGLOO COOLERS; ONE GREEN, AND ONE BLUE.
BOASTED THAT SHE KNEW WHERE CHANDRA LEVY WAS AT SIX MONTHS AGO. SHE
PREDICTED SHE WAS WITHIN TWENTY FIVE MILES OF WASHINGTON D.C., IN A WOODED
AREA WHERE LOTS OF PEOPLE GO.
SAYS SHE SEES A CLOCK AND THE NUMBER FOUR. SHE INTERPRETS THIS TO MEAN
THE VICTIM WILL BE KILLED FOUR DAYS FROM THE DATE OF ABDUCTION.
SHE SAID THE VICTIM IS WITHIN 100 MILES OF THE AREA SHE INDICATED ON THE
MAP.
SEES A DOG. IT'S BLACK OVER ONE EYE, AND BROWN OVER THE OTHER. IT'S A
K-9 TYPE DOG, PERHAPS A GERMAN SHEPARD.
SHE SEES TWO "4'S." FOUR DAYS TO LIVE, AND FOUR HOURS FROM HOME.
THE DARK COMPLECTED GUY BROUGHT IN A MCDONALD'S BAG.
THE VICTIM IS IN HER BARE FEET. SHE IS WEARING JEANS THAT ARE ROLLED UP.
SHE IS SCARED OF THE DOG, OR WHATEVER KIND OF ANIMAL IT IS. THERE IS ONLY
ONE DOOR AND ONE WINDOW IN THE CABIN.
AT 20:09
CAME OUT OF THE HOUSE AND SAID
HAD FOUND THE AREA
WHERE THE VICTIM IS BEING HELD.
SHOWED ME THE MAP. THE AREA WAS
CALLED THE SAWTOOTH NATIONAL FOREST, AND IS BETWEEN LYNN, UTAH, AND ALMO,
IDAHO.
I ASKED

CARRYING A BAG WITH AN 'M' ON IT INTO THE CABIN. THEY FEEL THE 'M' IS FOR
MCDONALD'S, SO THEY GOT ON THE INTERNET AND CHECKED FOR MCDONALD'S
RESTAURANTS IN THE PRESTON AREA. THERE WERE SEVERAL ALL AROUND. IN
ADDITION,
SAID THEY ARE GOING TO KILL THE VICTIM AT NOON TODAY.
SAID THEY ARE GOING TO KILL HER IN THE AFTERNOON T DAY, SO AS TO HAVE
DAYLIGHT LEFT TO FIND A PLACE TO BURY HER.
OTHER FOLLOW-UPS COMPLETED ON 06/08/02:
AT 09:50 I CALLED INVOLVED PERSON #108,
, ON HIS CELL
PHONE,
. HE SAID HE WAS ABOUT TO OPEN A NEW BUSINESS AT A STRIP
MALL. THE ADDRESS IS
OGDEN, 84412. ABOUT
19:00 LAST NIGHT, HE WAS WORKING IN HIS BUSINESS WHEN HE HEARD A CAR ALARM
GO OFF. HE THOUGHT IT WAS HIS VEHICLE, SO HE WENT OUTSIDE. A BROWN SUV,
POSSIBLY A FORD EXPEDITION OR CHEVROLET TAHOE, WAS PARKED NEXT TO HIM. HE
HAD TO WALK AROUND THE SUV TO GET TO HIS VEHICLE. AS HE DID, HE REALIZED IT
WAS THE SUV'S ALARM GOING OFF. HE HAPPENED TO GLANCE INTO THE SUV AND SAW A
FEMALE WHITE, 12-16 YOA, SITTING ON THE FLOORBOARD IN THE FRONT PASSENGER
AREA. HE MADE EYE CONTACT WITH HER, BUT BECAUSE HE WAS SO BUSY, HE DIDN'T
THINK MUCH ABOUT IT. HE WENT BACK INTO HIS BUSINESS, AND WHEN HE CAME OUT A
HALF HOUR LATER, THE SUV WAS GONE. IT WASN'T UNTIL HE GOT HOME AND WATCHED
THE NEWS, WHERE HE SAW ELIZABETH SMART IN SOME KIND OF SKIT, DID HE REALIZE
THE VICTIM LOOKED LIKE THE GIRL IN THE SUV. MOST OF THE BUSINESSES ARE
CLOSED AT THAT HOUR. THERE IS A PRINT SHOP, NAIL (FINGERNAIL) SALON, AND A
PIZZA PLACE. THE PIZZA PLACE WAS PROBABLY OPEN, AND MAYBE THE NAIL PLACE.
HAS ONLY BEEN AT THE MALL A COUPLE OF DAYS, SO HE DOESN'T KNOW IF THE
SUV BELONGS TO A BUSINESS OWNER OR EMPLOYEE THERE. IF HE SEES IT AGAIN, HE
WILL GET A LICENSE PLATE AND CALL IT IN.
AT 10:34 I CALLED INVOLVED PERSON #109,
. SHE SAID SHE CALLED
IN TWO LEADS. THE FIRST ONE WAS TO SUGGEST THE COAST GUARD CHECK THE COAST
AND WATERWAYS. SHE HAS A FRIEND IN THE COAST GUARD AND HE TOLD HER THEY
SOMETIMES FIND ABUSED CHILDREN IN CRATES WHEN THEY CHECK THE SHIPS.
THE SECOND ONE SHE SAID SHE HAD A FORMER ROOMMATE, INVOLVED PERSON #110,
, WHO IS A CONVICTED PEDOPHILE. HE WAS CONVICTED IN EITHER
CALIFORNIA OR NEVADA. SHE DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS A PEDOPHILE WHEN THEY MOVED IN
TOGETHER. SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE IN SALT LAKE CITY HE IS LIVING NOW, BUT IF
WE CHECK THE POLICE STATION BY WAL-MART ON REDWOOD RD, THEY CAN TELL US.
THAT AGENCY ARRESTED
AT HIS APARTMENT AT THE MARK TWAIN APARTMENTS IN
THE FALL OF 1999. HE HAS SOFT SKIN, AND NO CONSIDERATION FOR LITTLE KIDS.
SAID SHE CAN EMPATHIZE WITH THE VICTIM, BECAUSE HER SISTER WAS
ABDUCTED, THEN RAPED AND SODOMIZED WHEN SHE WAS 14 YEARS OLD. THAT WAS IN
2000.

FBI AGENT CRAIG PHILLIPPE AND I CHECKED ALL OF OUR RESOURCES AND COULD FIND
NO DOCUMENTATION TO INDICATE THAT
EXISTS.
AT 13:45 I WENT TO
AVE AND MET WITH INVOLVED PERSON #111,
. SHE HAD CALLED THE HOT-LINE ABOUT THE MAN WHO WAS PAINTING HER
HOUSE, INVOLVED PERSON #112,
.
SAID HE JUST LEFT, BUT IS
PROBABLY STILL AT HIS BUS STOP AT 900 E 200 S. SHE WAS JUST LEAVING
HERSELF, SO I FOLLOWED HER TO THE AREA WHERE HE SAID HE CAUGHT THE BUS. I
FOUND HIM WALKING SOUTH ON 900 E. I STOPPED TO TALK TO HIM AT 200 S. I
IDENTIFIED MYSELF BOTH VERBALLY AND BY SHOWING MY BADGE. HE GAVE ME A UTAH
ID CARD AS IDENTIFICATION. THE PICTURE ON THE ID CARD IS OF A CLEARLY
HEAVIER MAN, AND THE CARD LISTED HIS WEIGHT AS 190. IN ADDITION, IT LISTED
HIS HEIGHT AS 6'0."
CLEARLY DOES NOT WEIGH 190 POUNDS. I ASKED IF HE
HAD BEEN SICK, AND HE SAID, "YES, REAL SICK." HE SAID HE HAS LOST 40
POUNDS. I STAND JUST OVER 6' AND
WAS A GOOD 3" TO 4" SHORTER THAT ME.
WHEN I QUESTIONED HIM ABOUT THE DISCREPANCY, HE SAID HE TELLS PEOPLE HE IS
5'10" TO 5'11." I ASKED IF HE WAS ON PAROLE OR PROBATION AND HE SAID NO. I
ASKED IF HE HAD ANY WARRANTS OUT FOR HIM. HE SAID HE MAY HAVE BEEN ARRESTED
FOR AN OPEN CONTAINER ONCE. I CORRECTED HIM AND SAID, "DO YOU HAVE ANY
WARRANTS?" HE SAID NO. (WHEN I GOT BACK TO THE OFFICE, I FOUND
HAD AN
EXTENSIVE CRIMINAL HISTORY, MAINLY FOR THEFT AND ALCOHOL TYPE CRIMES).
HE SAID HE HAS BEEN PAINTING
HOUSE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. HE WAS
IN THE AVENUES ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, BUT NOT DURING THE NIGHT.
I TRIED TO CALL
HOME.

The scene was also processed for latent fingerprints. The inside and
outside of the bedroom door, the bent bedpost, the inside and outside of the
kitchen door, the marble counter-top near the open window, the glass vase in
front of the open window, the inside and outside of the open window, the
metal frame of the screen, the wooden window frame, and the cupboard next to
the window were all dusted for latent fingerprints. Prints of comparable
value were found on the inside of the wooden bedroom door above the handle
and on the inside of the kitchen door on the glass area below the handle. A
print with no ridge detail (possibly a glove print) was lifted from the
outside of the kitchen door near on the metal frame below the handle. Also,
prints with no detail were observed on the top part of the inside of the
wooden window frame. Prints were submitted to the crime lab to be entered
into AFIS.
Two ladders were supplied by one of the occupants of the home so I could
reach to process the outside of the window. Officer Dangerfield assisted me
by holding the ladder, and scuff marks were left on the area below the
window from the ladder.

vehicle engines. He said that this is not an unusual event, because kids
are always in the area. On this occasion, his dog was barking more than

pick-up full of kids. They had stopped in the road and were talking, he saw

Upon entering the scene, R/O met up with Sgt. D.B. BELL who was/is the Lead
Supervisor of this incident. Sgt. D.B. BELL gave R/O a quick synposis of
the known events up to this time. He stated, the juvenile victim had been
forcibly removed her bedroom sometime near 0100. The suspect told the
victim's nine year old sister, who was also in the same bedroom, if she told
anyone he would kill her (referring to the victim). It's believed the
sister waited approximately two hours before telling her parents of this
kidnapping.
It's believed that the parents then called family, friends and members of
their LDS ward of the kidnapping and they responded to the scene. These
individuals responded with flash lights and began to canvass the
neighborhood for approximately one hour and then called this department.
Sgt. D.B. BELL requested R/O assist with coordinating investigative efforts
at the PSB after having becoming familiar with the scene.
As R/O approached the residence, R/O noticed a "large number" of individuals
milling around both inside and outside of the residence. R/O also noted a
number of individuals leaving the residence carrying what appeared to food
trays. R/O later learned these individuals were friends of the family and
had responded as far away as Park City and Draper.
At approximately 0730 R/O signed in the "Major Crime Scene Log" and met with
Detective M. SCHARMAN who has been assigned to assist Detecitve C. KRANE who
is the "Lead Investigaor." R/O was shown a kitchen window, that appears to
the point of entry, and noticed the window screen had been torn or cut. The
window over looks the patio which is located on the north side of the
residence. The area immediatley adjacent to the patio is a heavly wooded
area and eventually leads to Tomahawk Drive. R/O did not go through any
other portions of the residence and left the scene.
Upon returning to the PSB at approximately 0830, R/O requested Detective

Detective R. LEWIS gave R/O a large plastic bag containing envelopes with
video tapes (VHS & 8mm), undeveloped fim, disposable cameras and CD's from
digital cameras. Detective R. LEWIS informed R/O that he had been
instructed to seize video tapes, from parents who had children graduate from
Bryan Jr. High. Sgt. D.B. BELL (Lead investigating supervisor) and FBI
were attempting to locate a particular person who may or may not have some
attended the graduation ceremonies and of Ms. SMART'S harp recitles. These
items had been given to Sgt. D.B. BELL who later returned them to R/O.
Apparently the particular individual that was being sought had turned
himself into the PSB, interviewed and cleared by detectvies and FBI thus the
items were no longer needed.
R/O began to receive inquires from the parent of the siezed items and R/O
spoke to Sgt. D.B. BELL regarding the release of these items. He, Sgt.
D.B. BELL informed R/O these items were not necessary for the case and they
could be released to the rightful owners. The items were placed into
evidence and held for the owners.

three times. I understood this to be three hours before the witness alerted
her parent of the situation.
The witness described the suspect as average build and average
height. She told me that he had on a White or Tan Levis type coat and white
or tan khaki style pants and a white or tan polo style shirt. He also had on
black shoes. He also had on a white baseball cap that was pulled down very
low on his face. She believed that the suspect was white but couldn't be
sure. She told me that the moon shines through there window and the room has
some light from this. When the bathroom light was turned on she couldn't see
the suspect from where she was. She believes that the suspect didn't know
that she was awake at that time. She went to say that all that her sister
had on was red silk night clothes and she was wearing underwear but no bra.
I was again contacted by Sgt Bell and asked to respond to
and pick up the witness and her grandmother and her aunt and
transported them to the Children's Justice center in Salt Lake City. After
arriving I conducted another interview with the witness and this interview
was video recorded and tape recorded and will be maintained in the case
file. The victim related the same information as the first interview with
the exception of the statement about the ransom and the information about
the grandfather clock. This was new information at that time.

often babbling over non related issues. R/O had to redirect her several
times. She admitted to calling her son from her business the night before
and telling
that she needed to contact her son to make sure he was not
involved in the kidnaping. She also admitted to saying that her son matched
the description that the media was putting out on the susp saying several
times that her son was, "five ft. eight" R/O asked
if she had asked
her sons/children if they in fact had been involved or if they had said to
her anything to that effect. She firmly said no. As she was talking about
something unrelated she all of a sudden blurted, "
told me, "Mary
Kathrine knows who I am, I didn't do it Mom." She then talked about her
family including her son
who she said knew the Smart family very
well. She mentioned her son
and that both sons worked as painters.
R/O was able to contact both sons and arranged for them to be
transported to the PD for questioning.
R/O subsequently interviewed
, DVD recorded. Following is his
post Miranda statement: He responded to his mothers comments to R/O by
saying that his Mother was crazy. He said that she "talks too much" and
"says the wrong things." When R/O questioned
about all of the things
his Mother spoke of, he admitted to telling her that he knew Mary Kathrine
and that he was not involved in the kidnapping. While being questioned he
appeared very agitated and even questioned himself as to why he was acting
so strange saying that he DID NOT know anything about the incident. R/O then
left the room and SGT. BELL entered and continued the interview. See his
supp.
R/O then interviewed the brother
, DVD recorded. Following is
his Post Miranda statement:

were hiking in the Miller Flat area near Fairview, Utah when
they came across a man standing in a hole with a shovel. The man approached
them and volunteered that he was digging a pit in order to roast a pig. The
men thought that the digger was "creepy". They saw that the man had parked
his vehicle, a blue SUV, in a very secluded area nearby. They also noted
that the hole was a rectangular excavation that resembled a human grave.
and
continued their hike and then, after some discussion
about the situation, returned to the site. The hikers were gone for about
30 minutes. When they returned, the man and his vehicle were gone.
Deputy Robison explained that the Miller's Flat area is the "playground" for
San Pete Co. residents. Anyone living in San Pete Co. would be very
familiar with it. He also noted that he knows
and his family
because he has arrested
in the past. He indicated that the
'
family lives within 5 miles of Fairview.
Robison escorted Detective Josh Scharman and me to the site. I observed
that the site, although not a developed campsite, appears to be regularly
used for camping. It is a very secluded area surrounded by trees and brush.
Robison showed me the spot where the hikers saw the blue SUV backed in. The
space is a natural "cut-out" of the forage just large enough for a vehicle.
Robison took me down a hill at the rear of the campsite and showed me the
hole. I observed that the dimensions of the hole (approximately 6'X2'X18")
would easily fit a small human body. The hole is a clean rectangle with
dirt mounded up on either side.
The location of the excavation is such that it cannot be seen from any
nearby clearing except for a small meadow beneath the site. The area has
recently been raked for seeding by the Forest Service and the excavation is
on the edge of this ground disturbance. Once filled in, the site would
blend in with the ground disturbance caused by the seeding project.
Deputy Robison said that hikers confronted the digger on Sunday 06/09/02.
They reported the incident to him that night and he called the SLC task
force. He was told that detectives would respond. When no one responded,
he returned to the site (Monday 06/10/02) and collected items discarded
there feeling that he should protect potential evidence. He photographed
the scene and then collected several tissues with yellow mucous and a
toothbrush. These items were scattered throughout the site and they

anything that might help this investigation. After seeing the news reports
describing the white Jeep Cherokee, she remembered that shortly after the
abduction, she was driving on US 89 near Birdseye, Ut. when she saw a white
Cherokee pulled off of the side of the road, halfway between the roadway and
the river. At the time, she thought that it was suspicious. She did not
see a person.
I contacted Lt. Bennett, Utah Co. Sheriff's office. He said that his search
and rescue teams had already conducted searches of the Diamond Fork area as
well as most of Spanish Fork Canyon. He said that he hadn't yet searched US

He told me that there are some transient camps in the bushes and that he was
searching. He also told me about how wrong this crime is and he brought up
the recent kidnapping of "Diana" in San Diego and also the Polly Klaas
kidnapping/murder. He named the persons the criminal justice system had
deemed responsible for these and others I do not recall. He seemed to be
rather interested and familiar with the headline events. Today he was
searching for Elizabeth Smart. He estimated it was either a homeless person
or someone with military training for them to depart the scene so quickly
and stash the girl so that he could escape.

She showed me the images. The male is of undetermined age, wearing a black

vehicle is seen and there are no other indicators that this is the suspect.
The surveillance video is digital and is recorded to the hard drive of the

the stairs area and replacing some shingles blown out by the wind. He stated
he did lay some carpet in the basement's play room, he stated it was a

he can't remember which girl. He painted the base boards and trim in a
downstairs bedroom with weights and worked on the sprinkling system. He
stated this all occurred in the month of December. I asked him if he also
did the sprinklers in December and he stated yes, then he wasn't so sure.
He stated he meet Edward Smart by a job referral with LDS
Employment. I asked him if he was paid in full for the work he did and he
stated yes in cash and check. We then asked him if he had any guns and he
stated he did and it was a 22 cal revolver. It was made in 1912 and was made

it after a relative had died. He stated it had trickled down to him after
nobody had wanted it. He states the serial numbers on the two parts do not

them and that he himself has three daughters ages seven, five and three. He
grew emotional as he described the sorrow of Mrs Smart and how he wanted to
help the family. He stated he had gone down to the LDS Employment Office at

his first marriage was to

and she was married to a marine by the name of
. He states he
has not seen her in nine years. He states during the divorce he was accused
of being a pedophile but it was not him it was his father in law who was the
pedophile. I asked him the name of his father in law and he stated Mr.
in Tremonton, he did not know his first name. I said you do not know
your ex father in laws first name and he said no, the father in law kept to
himself reading books. He stated his mother in laws name was
in
Tremonton and that their son was all screwed up because of what his father
in law had done to him.
I then asked him if I could take a set of elimination prints from him since
he had done work for the Smarts and he stated yes, anything he could do to
help us. I then took his fingerprints and palm prints. During the time I was
taking his fingerprints he stated sure wanted to find the person who did
this and we told him would would like to find the girl to bring closure to
the family and he stated when he was working downstairs and Elizabeth was
playing the harp she was like an angel and he sure hoped she was not an
angel now and we stated we hoped so to.
As we were leaving he told us he felt guilty because he had stopped
working for the Smarts and he hopes they did not hire someone who did this
because he had left and that was why he was trying to get the information on
who had done construction work for him. Agent Martinez and I then left.

tell me that Elizabeth was in the area of the old Kennecot copper mines in
an old abandon building with a corrogated roof. The caller stated that
Elizabeth was in a comatose state and that she needed to be life flighted

Tom brought his sister, Cynthia Owens, in and said she had a lead.
Cynthia spoke with Det. M. Scharman and stated she had spoke with a
spiritual psychic, no name given, who told her that Elizabeth was in a barn
tied up with farming tools around her. Cynthia said there is some property
next to Elizabeth's grandparents that has a barn on it and there is a guy by
the name of
who manages the property for his parents. She
believes this guy is suspicious. Elizabeth would spend time gardening at
her grandparents home. Cynthia believes this
could watch her from
the property. Det. M. Scharman told Cynthia we would check the property out
if given consent by the owners.
Det. Snow and I went to the property,
and
spoke with the owners(see his supp.) They signed a consent form and said we
could search the property. They also said that there were a couple of
county deputies that had already searched the property but we could still
search. They commented that they wanted to do whatever they can to help. We
went through the entire property and checked the barn. Nothing suspicious
or of evidentiary value. We also checked the property adjacent to the

Det. Merino gave the information to r/o as r/o was the school resource
officer for Bryant Intermediate. The threats situation had been unfounded
by r/o as the suspect
had been bated into making a
comment about bringing a gun to campus. The statement that was made was
"the suspect would not bring a gun to school as he would have to keep it in
his locker and then he would get caught, so that is not something he would
do".
The name Elizabeth Smart never came up during r/o's investigation. With the
lack of leads in the case, r/o decided to talk with the alleged suspect in
the unfounded gun case, just to put the theory to rest.
R/o spoke with

6/7/02 at 0700 hrs. He stated that he was home with his parents on Tuesday

Photographs were taken to show the general area and closeups were taken of
several small reddish-colored spots on the tops of several of the rocks in
an area which is surrounded by bushes and trees with low branches. Also in
the area on the ground were several mens clothing items in a bag and a pair
of scissors, and two bras several feet away from the bag. The clothing and
bag were numbered for the photos with a #1 yellow identification marker. The
bras were marked with a #6 yellow marker. The bag with the clothes and
the bras were collected by Officer McKinnon. The reddish colored substances
located on the rocks were marked for the photographs with markers 2,3,4,5,7,
and 8. I collected three swabs of the reddish substance and three control
swabs from the areas of markers 3,7, and 8. Negatives will be on file in
the Crime Lab. I booked the swabs into evidence. Officer McKinnon will
book clothing items into evidence.

I then went downstairs at which point Sgt. Bell started addressing the
people in the house. I saw several people with plates of food approaching
the front door to enter the house and I turned them away. I then obtained a
major crime scene log from Lt. Z. Swim and gave that to Officer Dangerfield.
. As people were exiting the house Officer Dangerfield, Detective Dave
Jensen and myself stopped everyone except the immediate Smart family and
obtained the names, address and phone numbers of everyone that was leaving
the house.
After everyone but police officers had left the house I searched the house
for Elizabeth, with no success.
After everyone was removed from the house. Officer Dangerfield one of the
first officers that arrived at the scene briefed me. He explained to me
that there was a point of entry in the kitchen via the crank window. I
observed that the window was open and that the screen had been cut.
Apparently the suspect then went upstairs to the girl's room and at gunpoint
removed Elizabeth Smart from the home.
I went out the back door and observed a ladder laying on the ground to the
east of the back door, a black patio chair under the point of entry window.
The chairs front two legs were on the rock pathway, the back two legs were
not touching anything. The back of the chair was resting against the stucco
wall, which allowed the chair to stay in an upright position. I did not see
or observe any marks on the wall above the chair. There is a power outlet
just east and above the chair that still had spider webs and tree debris on
it. On the window ledge there was natural debris that didn't appear to have
been disturbed. I observed two scrape marks on the stucco wall west of the
point of entry and on the ledge. There was some question as to how those
marks got there and also where the ladder came from. I also observed that
For: 13L
1005-0 KIDNAP-MINOR
there was a white cloth material on the patio table that still had three
matching chairs surrounding it.
The kitchen window as are most all the windows in the home is a crank type.
Meaning that to open the window you have to use the crank to open it. This
crank window opens out and was mostly if not all the way open. When open
the window is in a north to south direction. With the window open it
divides in half the amount of space you would have to get through the
window.
The girl's bedroom east window was also open but is not ground
level. I latter learned that it was not unusual for that window to be open
as it is so far above the ground.
I was informed that the SLCPD crime lab Tech Kristin Midyett had been called
to the scene, had processed the scene and then left. I called dispatch and
requested that the crime lab person that responded to the scene be called
back to the scene. I had her come back to the scene to explain to me what
processing she had done, and how the scene had looked when she had arrived.
She explained that the ladder in the back yard had been brought up by other
people including Officer Dangerfield to assist her in reaching the window so
that she could process it for latent prints. Laying the ladder against the
window ledge made the two marks on the stucco wall west of the possible
point of entry. The marks in the dirt and the rock that appeared to be out
of place had been moved by those putting the ladder up so that they could
make the ladder stable while Kristin worked on the window, and screen. She
stated that she had processed the back screen door both sides, the back door
itself both sides. The point of entry window and screen. The girl's bedroom
door upstairs and also the corner post of the bed that was crooked. I asked
about any good latent prints that she lifted and she said that she had
lifted some from the girl's bedroom door.
I asked her about the things that were on the kitchen counter in front of
the point of entry window. When I arrived there was a bag of flour directly
in front of the window along with some other items like dish soap, bag of
crackers. Kristin explained that when she got there that the bag of flour
was not in front of the window but that there was large flower vase. She
showed me the vase that had been in front of the window. It is a glass vase
that is held by ornamental iron. She said that the crackers were there, but
that the dish soap was not, there was a basket near the window on the
countertop she said that had been there but was more in the corner out of
the way.
Officer Dangerfield verified that the vase had been in front of the window
on the counter top, and that he had helped get the ladder and put it up so

girls bed. There were some latent prints on the blade but none that would
be comparable. The state lab took the razor blade. The bedpost on the
southeast corner was loose and on crooked.
Detective Jensen was shown by the K-9 officers the path that the bloodhound
hit on. Initially he hit on the path from the back yard around the east
side of the house and then down the steps to the driveway where the track
was lost.
Then the bloodhound hit on a trail from the back of the house and up to the
street behind the Smart home. Detective Jensen photographed the trail.
At 1300 hrs. I attended a briefing at the PSB on the second floor. In that
briefing I learned that the suspect is most likely a male white adult, with
dark hair. He is of medium build, and height. He was wearing a white or
light tan khaki pants, white or tan baseball hat, black shoes a cloth or
Levis style jacket but it was not a Levi jacket. A white pull over golf
type shirt. And a duffel bag that was round in shape that had a shoulder
strap. Elizabeth was wearing red satin pajamas that are short sleeve, and
long pants she does wear panties to bed but no bra.
I returned to the house with the above information that I gave to the State
Crime Lab team.
While I was in the back yard I spoke with

he heard two adult females arguing loudly. He said that the voices were
coming from the Smarts house. He didn't' see who was arguing. He said that
they were inside the house. He showed me where he was standing at the time.
There is a lot of scrub oak between where he was standing and the Smart
home. He said that they argued for about 15-20 minutes. He worked for the
last summer and has never heard any arguing coming from the Smart
home. This is the first time.
showed me a little storage shed that is
near the fire pit. I checked the shed for Elizabeth or anything out of the
ordinary. There was lawn mower in there and that is where
has kept the
stain that he is using for the benches.
After talking to
a short time latter he called for me again. He said
that he had just remembered that one morning he was coming to the
to
work and it was garbage day and he saw the garbage truck stopped on the side
of the road and so he stopped behind him thinking that the garbage truck was
going to move. But the garbage truck didn't move so he had to go around the
truck.
I relayed the above information to Det. Mark Scharman.

See the Utah State Crime Lab report details of all the items that were taken
from the house as evidence or other wise. While photographing the parent's
walk-in closet I located a pair of red pajamas that I learned were the same
kind Elizabeth was wearing. I verified with Ed Smart that the red pajamas
that we had found were the same style, shape and color as those worn by
Elizabeth. I took those pajamas and they are stored in the homicide
evidence room 6th floor.
While at the scene Ed Smart came back to the house before we were finished
processing the scene. He wanted me to get for him a manila envelope that
was in the kitchen cupboard above the fridge that had family birth
certificates and passports. I found the envelope and gave it to Ed. He
then asked for me to look for some family videotapes on vhs and hi-8, and to
get the video camera that was in the same room as the microwave. I found

Description of the Smart residence at 1509 East Kristianna Circle. This
house is located at the east end of Kristianna Circle. Kristianna Circle
runs east and west and dead ends at the east end. From Virginia Street you
turn right onto Kristianna Circle. 1509 Kristianna is on the north side of
the circle there is an empty lot to the west of 1509. To the east there is a
residence that is occupied.

Chandler is behind and
north of the Smarts.
There is a large amount of scrub oak on the west side and in the back yard
of the home. There is a red rock walkway that starts on the west side of
the home, goes to the back of the house and then east along the back of the
house to the back door patio area. As you walk out the back door to the
north thru the scrub oak and then the pathway goes east and then onto a lawn
area. As you walk south along the east side of the house you come to
another red rock walkway that leads to the front porch. This walkway is
directly under the girl's bedroom. The red rock walkway then continues on
the west side of the front porch and down to the driveway. The walkway is
right next to the house. The front is heavily covered with trees and
foliage including part of the deck area. The east side of the front yard
has a lot of tree and plant coverage.
There is a pathway that is accessible from the back door patio are that
leads to a path that takes you behind

we hear the alarm system tones sound when we opened or closed the door. We
opened and closed the front doors and the alarm system would sound each
time. We also tested the door that leads from the basement to the garage,
this door also tripped the alarm system each time making sounding a tone. We
checked the contacts on the front door and found that the door had a screw
in the top of the door that made contact with the door-frame thus sounding
the alarm system. We checked the back door and found that the door did not
have screw in the top so the alarm system was not tripped, and no sounds. As
we were turning the house back over to Ed we informed him of such and he was
surprised that it didn't work and then we showed him that there was no screw
in the top of the door. He got up on the ladder and looked to see that
there was no screw there to make contact. He also had told an officer that
the door at the top of the stairs that leads to the deck was also alarmed.
We checked that door which was locked to see if it was alarmed. We opened
and closed the door several times and could not get the alarm to sound. The
door does close by itself, it is spring loaded, and does lock automatically
as it closes.
There are no blinds on any of the girls bedroom windows or the
parent's bedroom windows. The girl's bedroom is at the front of the house
on the east side. There is a window on the east, south and west walls of
the room. The south window overlooks the street.
There are blinds on the other children's windows, which are all
ground level. The parent's room and the girl's room are not ground level.
There are two doors on the upstairs level that lead to the atrium.
One from Charles's room the other from Edward II's room. The door from
Charles room did not have any door handle hardware and so you could not open
the door. From Edward II's room you could access the atrium.
The door to the atrium from the outside was locked. The garage overhead
door was down. There is walk thru door from the garage exits out to the
west side of the house didn't have a door handle on it but it was secured by
a board that was horizontal across the door at about chest level and secured
on each side by a single screw. The sliding glass doors in the family room
are alarmed and did sound the alarm when tested. The French doors in the
living room were not tested that day. They were not alarmed and when opened
by Sgt. Bell days latter the door handle hardware fell off in his hand.
While at the house other Detectives had hooked the incoming phone lines up
to cassette recorders so that any phone calls coming in could be recorded.
Patrol Officer Bridge created a phone log and was keeping track of who
called and what time and a brief synopsis of why they called. FBI SA Scott
Peffer 579-1400 came in with different recorders and hooked them up and also

Bridge. And as we left the house to Ed Smart FBI agents took over the phone
duty from Officer Zesiger. I took the phone logs that were done that day by
our officers. They are scanned into versadex.
This lead about possibly locating the red pajamas the victim was wearing was
checked and unfounded. The red material was an Old Navy long sleeve,
Hooded pull over, Patagonia type material. The Old Navy logo is on the
front of the jacket. The jacket appeared to have been there for some time.
There were leaves, twigs and dirt on the shirt. The shirt was photographed

the scene have been run through AFIS with no hits and that the latent were
being sent Fed-Ex to the FBI to be run in their data base.
After the briefing we were told of a possible gravesite up above
18th Avenue. Some volunteer searchers had discovered what they thought was
a fresh gravesite. Det. Dave Jensen and I responded up to 18th Avenue just
east of the LDS church there and drove thru the watershed gate. Officer Dan
Despain had already responded and was securing the area where the fresh dirt
was. I took photos of the area and of what appeared to be fresh dug dirt.

Upon closer examination I observed where some weeds were growing thru the
dirt on the south and north end of the dirt. After photographing the scene
we then dug thru the dirt carefully to determine if there was any evidence.
We dug thru the dirt until we hit the hard ground which had not been dug and
there was dead weeds below. There is an animal hole next to this dirt. It
appeared that the discarded dirt had been from an animal digging the hole
and discarding the dirt in a pile.
1500 hrs. Det. Jensen and I responded to the Smart home and
obtained fingerprints and palm prints from Louis and Ed Smart and the oldest
son Charles. While fingerprinting Ed he asked if we could fingerprint him
twice as he needed a set of ten prints cards to obtain a license for his
business. We did fingerprint him twice once for this case and the second
for his license. While at the Smart home we picked up some of Elizabeth's
journals and a list of construction workers that have been at the Smart
home. This list and journals were given to Detective M. Scharman.

it was in great repair caught her attention. She said that it was traveling
at a high rate of speed she is not sure if it came on to the freeway at the

men in the Jeep and that the male with blond or white hair was in the back
seat and that there were two men in the front.
She said that then about five minutes latter still west bound she noticed a
blue SUV vehicle in front of her and a blond female rose up out of the back
seat looked around and then it seemed like she layed back down. There was a
white female with blond curly hair about shoulder length driving the blue

came into the store between 1545-1545 hours. When he came up
to the counter he asked her if she had heard about the kidnaping.
further stated that he was the uncle of the girl that had been kidnaped.
told her that it was the father's (Ed Smart) fault because he doesn't
pay his employees.

even further.

again, went on and on about how she always, 'writes everything down
in her day planner'. After, again, several minutes of her 'explaination',
SA FILLERUP asked if he could see her day planner.
readily agreed
and turned the book to the direction SA FILLERUP could see the writing.
SA FILLERUP turned the pages backward. Both myself and SA FILLERUP
immediately noted that there was hardly any writing, at all, on the month
titled, "MAY 2002". When
was confronted with this,
immediately told us, "Well I just got it...that's why there's hardly any
writing in it."
SA FILLERUP then asked when she originally got the day planner.
stated, "About a month or two (2) ago". We asked again, why there was
hardly any writing on the past month or two (2) previous records.
didn't answer this quedstion.
As
started again that, "You can ask the other two (2) witnesses that
were standing by me when
asked me for an ALIBI for the night that
Elizabeth SMART was kidnapped!"
I asked the names of the "witnesses". I was told "
".
immediately told us that both "
" both worked at the same place
of employment that she
and
were working: CINEPLEX 16 at
3300 South State Street on the northeast corner.
I then asked which drugs that
were addicted to.
looked at me, eyes again extremely widened, and said, "Meth, I think".
This time frame was about one hour, and
was telling myself and SA
FILLERUP nothing.
was not answering the immediate question that was
For: 13L
1005-0 KIDNAP-MINOR
originally asked:
"WHY DID
COME TO YOU, TELLING YOU TO GIVE HIM AN ALIBI THE NIGHT THAT
ELIZABETH SMART WAS KIDNAPPED?"
******
It was time that
knew why both myself and SA FILLERUP were present,
in-person and not via the telephone. Both myself and SA FILLERUP explained
to
that due to the FBI being involved within the SMART case that the
ramifications by lying to officials conducting interviews can and will meet
with FEDERAL consequences.
was told to listen to what was being told by both myself and SA
FILLERUP; which were at seperate times. It should be noted that both the
ramifications and the charges were not something that should be taken
"lightly".
Both of us, at separate times, asked
if she "UNDERSTOOD" exactaly
what was being said to her.
then bowed her head and said nothing.
I asked
the question one more time, "Why did
tell you
to give him an ALIBI for the night that Elizabeth SMART was kidnapped?" I
then told
before you give me the same, 'I wrote it down right here,
see' answer; I explained to
that I could tell that she wrote the the
actions and activities with
on the same day with the same writing
utencil. I then explained that both myself and SA FILLERUP could plainly
see that there were several days that had different ink, different colors
and different handwriting vs. printing on different days.
admitted that she did write the notations regarding
on June
4th, 5th and 6th down in the day planner because
had told her to do
so.
did add that she, "Knew that she returned
stuff to him on
the 6th of June, because
wasn't being nice to her anymore and she
knew that
was in the picture and wasn't going away".
I then asked
if she knew the
family.
told myself and
SA FILLERUP that she did know both
and

added
that,

me!"

why.

I then asked
if she made it common practice to make telephone
conversation with a person she is dating for less than three (3) DAYS to
speak with their father by telephone.
again looked (widened eyes
and voice very quivery).
It should be noted that each time
would begin to tell a story, the
word "WHATEVER" and "WHATNOT" were used in place of words that
did
not want to tell either myself or SA FILLERUP.
told us, "Well,
was telling me that he had nothin' to do with
and whatnot and that he (
told me that the police were trying to
pin somethin' on him that he didn't do!"
I then asked
what were police or FBI trying to 'pin on him'.
responded with, "Well,
told me that he didn't do it and
whatnot".
I then explained to
to tell me what the word "WHATNOT" was standing
for.
looked at me with a puzzled look on her face and said, "What
do you mean?" I told her that each time she tries to finish a sentence
about where she was or what she was doing, she gets to a certain point and
says the word "WHATNOT" or "WHATEVER".
One of
comments were: "The reason that I was put on leave from my
job, was that my mother called because I didn't come home one night from
work."
then told us that, 'she had been suspended from work, because her
mother had called the manager at the CINEPLEX 16 and informed the manager
that the ushers that were adults were providing alcohol to her daughter'.
also stated that, 'she,
,
were all suspended
because all of them were partying in the mountains and she {
decided
not to return to her foster home (listed in entities field)'.
also, after skipping over time lines from the dates of June 5th, 6th

6th, 2002'.
The only certainty that

states, "I know that on the 6th, I took
his stuff because he
wasn't sensitive enough for me. I just KNOW that's what happened on the 6th
(of June, 2002)."
is adimant that she is not 'going down for anyone and won't lie
about anything to hide knowledge of Elizabeth SMART'.
did also
admit several times that
did TELL her, in front of other employees,
that he, "NEEDED AN ALIBI FOR THE NIGHT OF ELIZABETH SMART'S KIDNAPPING".

SYNOPSIS;
This is a kidnaping case of Elizabeth Smart, 14 years old white
female. The victim Elizabeth Smart was taken at gun point from her bedroom
while sleeping. Witness Mary Katherine is 9 years old and the only witness
to the kidnaping. This report reflects the call out to the scene.
Processing of the scene. Family members were interviewed. The scene was
processed. Follow up leads and organizing the investigation.
DETAILS:
On June 5, 2002, at approximately 4:01 AM the 911 operators receives
a call from the address of 1509 East, Kristianna Cir. The complainant is Ed
Smart. Ed Smart told the operator that his daughter, Elizabeth was taken
from her bed and the home by some one by gun point. Ed also related that
the window in the kitchen had been opened and the screen cut. Patrol
officers were dispatched at approximately 4:02 AM.
On June 5, 2002 at approximately 6:13 AM I was notified by phone by
For: 13L
1005-0 KIDNAP-MINOR
Captain Pearce of the kidnaping. Captain Pearce told me that a 14 years old
girl had been abducted from her home at 1509 East, Kristianna Cir. I was
further told that Elizabeth sister, 9 years old Mary Katharine was in the
bed with the victim at the time of the abduction. Captain Pearce told me
to respond to the scene and report to Sgt. Bell who was already at the
scene.
On June 5, 2002 at approximately 6:54 AM I arrived at the scene and
reported to Sgt. Bell. Sgt. Bell stated that the victim Elizabeth Smart is
14 years old. I was further told that Elizabeth sister 9 years old Mary
Katharine was in bed with Elizabeth and that she is the only witness to the
abduction. Sgt. Bell stated that Detective Rod Mosher was interviewing Mary
Katherine initially at the house and then will do a follow up interview at
the Children Justice Center for a formal interview. Sgt. Bell stated that
the case manager is Detective Crane. Sgt. Bell showed me the bedroom where
Elizabeth and Mary Katharine sleep. The bedroom is upstairs part of the
house. The house is very large with a basement level, main floor and an
upstairs level. The victim's bedroom has one queen size bed in the room
that Elizabeth and Mary Katherine share. The bedroom has two windows in it.
Sgt. Bell showed me the window in the kitchen. The kitchen is on the main
floor. The window was open all the way. This type of window opens from the
middle of the window frame so if the window is open to its fullest the
window is center in the middle of the frame. On the outside of the house
directly under the window was a rod iron patio chair. The back of the chair
rested against the outside of the wall. . The back two feet of the chair
where in the air while the two front legs rested on the rock patio. I
observed the window inside and out and it appears as if the window seal was
undisturbed on the outside. The area on the counter top inside also did not
appear disturbed. The opening of the window would only allow a very small
person to enter through the window. The screen did not appear to have been
damaged other than the cut to it. Following the walk through of the house
we asked for the church member to leave the house, which they did. The
family members were taken to PSB for formal statements. I then asked
Detective Prior to contact the phone company to arrange for a trap and trace
on the home phones. (This later was done with the FBI). Detective Snow was
asked to have the state of Utah crime lab respond to the scene to process
the house for evidence. While still in the house at approximately 8:15 AM

in bed asleep Mary Katharine came into the room and told them that Elizabeth
was taken by a man with a gun. Ed said that while at first he did not
believe what Mary Katharine said, Ed did get up and run into the room.
Elizabeth was gone. Ed said that he checked the other bedrooms and could not
find Elizabeth. Ed woke up the other kids in the house house and ran down
stairs. Ed stated that he saw the window was open the screen cut. Ed called
911 and report Elizabeth had been taken. Ed stated that he then called
hm and
Cell. Ed said that

teacher and he told
that he needed him to come to the house and help
search for Elizabeth. It was
that called other ward members to come and
help search. Ed said that he ran over to
house across the street
and is a family friend. Ed said he knocked on the door and when they
answered the door he told them to check his kids and make sure they are
there because Elizabeth had been taken. Ed said he did this because
had a attempted Kidnap of a child in 1992. Ed said he went back home and by
this time ward members where arriving at the home and police officers as
well. I asked Ed what kind of work he is in. Ed said he is in the real
estate business and also has a mortgage company. I asked Ed if there is
something in his business affairs that could be a motive for the abduction.
Ed stated he has nobody that is made at him. He does not owe anybody money
and did feel that anybody could be upset with him. I asked Ed if he has had
any relationships out side of his marriage that maybe a reason for this to
have happened. Ed stated that he has not had any relationship with females
outside his marriage. I asked Ed if he has had a relationship outside his
marriage with males. Ed stated that he has not. Ed was not able to think
of any reason why somebody would take Elizabeth. Ed stated that Elizabeth
friends
,
. Ed stated that the time of the suspect
entering the house and the time the suspect took Elizabeth is unknown due to
the fact the Mary Katharine stayed in her bed for some time before coming to
his bedroom. Ed stated that he has had a lot of workers in and out of the
house and will provide a list of people. (The names of the workers will be
place in the Quick Start FBI program. The leads are being worked by agent
/detective teams.
Following the interview a briefing was held with all person working
the case. The manner in which information and leads would be coming was
discussed. During the meeting it was learned that Elizabeth always sleeps
with her sister Mary Katharine.
The time line can not be known for sure do to the fact that the clocks in
the house were not working and because Mary Katharine laid in her bed for a
while before she told the parents what happened. The interview of Mary
Katharine was done by Detective Rod Mosher.
Arrangements where made with the FBI and other police agencies to
assist in this investigation and a process was put in place for the flow of

information. Detective and FBI agents followed up leads. The leads have
been put into the Quick Start program and then passed out through Sgt.
Mendez to Deceives and Agents for follow up and to write a report of their
findings.
One of the area of concern in this matter was the possible link
between the
case and this one. The person who was arrested in the
matter is

stated that he would come into the department to be

to follow up on a lead that Schoney was working on. See Schoney report. I
was contacted by Sgt. Mendez and told that
was at the department to be
interview. I asked Sgt. Mendez to interview
to get a alibi for him. (
It was later confirmed that
was alibied by his sister. Furthermore
limited use of his leg and arm he has a hard time of getting around).
On my way back to PSB I was contacted by the field commander from
the Salt Lake Sheriffs Office. I was told that the Idaho authorities had
just got in a chase that involved a kidnaping of a 14 year old girl who was
taken while sleeping with a 9 year old sister in the backyard. The 14 year
old was able to get a way. Authorities where notified and a pursuit
followed. During the pursuit shots where fired in where a officer was shot
and injured and a police dog was shot and killed and the suspect was also
killed. When I arrived back to the PSB this information was given to
Detective Crane. Detective Crane contacted Idaho Falls authorities to
determine a time line of their case and determine if the suspect in their
case could have been in Utah as well. ( Detective and agents went to ID and
learned that the two cases are un-related).
On June 5, 2002 Detective Snow told me that fingerprints have been
located in the bedroom and a print on the glass window by the kitchen. Blood
drops had been located and sample collected. See Detective Snow report.
On June 6, 2002 In the morning brief I was told that the FBI agents where at
the house last-night attempting to get the home computer so as to determine
if Elizabeth had met somebody on line. The Agent stated that initially they
thought that a hard drive was missing, (they since found out it was not a
hard drive missing), but when the agents asked about Ed computer they felt
he became very defensive and wired about the computer. I decided that I
would ask Ed about the possibility of a missing computer hard drive and to
ask him about his computer.

On June 6, 2002 Sgt. Bell and I meet with Lois, Ed and Charles on the eight
floor. During the interview we talk about the events again leading up to
Elizabeth being kidnaped . We talked about the Jogging Track that
Elizabeth used. We were told that Elizabeth had just started a running
program to prepare to try out for the High School Track team. She had only
started a few days prior. Elizabeth did not jog on Monday because of her
grandfather's funeral. On Tuesday Elizabeth did jog just prior to going to
the school awards program. Mary Katharine was with her. I told Lois that we
had received information that some of the autobiography that students had
written at school where missing and that Elizabeth was one that was missing.
Lois stated that Elizabeth did write her autobiography for school and that
she brought it home after it was graded. Again we asked Ed if he had any
debts that people are trying to collect. Ed stated that he did not owe
anybody any money. We check with Lois and Ed about the razor blades that
have been found in the family room and in Elizabeth room. Lois stated that
the razors are in the house because they have been using them to scrap
windows and the floor trying to get the house ready to sell. We asked the
family to provide a list of people who were at the Funeral. (This has been
now been provided). We also asked the family to provide a list of all the
person who have been in the house. I told Lois that Ed had told us about a
youth program at church in where the young womens group of the ward write
Christmas letter to the missionaries and that the letter was not
appropriate. Lois said she remember the bishop talking to Ed about this
issue and that they were sure that Elizabeth did not write the letter. They
were told that the writing was very neat and Elizabeth does not write neat.
Elizabeth was asked about the letter and she did not know anything about it.
(Detectives have followed this lead up and letter can not be located). We
again talked about the clock in the house again. Lois said that the clock
has never worked right and that the clock does make a bell sound on the hour
and on the quarter hour a tune of some sort sounds. I told Ed that I had
been told that the FBI agents where concerned about a missing hard drive
from one on the computer. Charles and Ed stated that there should not be a
missing hard drive and the discussion turned to how many computer are in the
house and which one's where being used by the all the kids. Lois stated
that the kids have been using Ed computer in his den area.

cell phone stolen and that he kept getting hang up calls. Ed stated he
remembers getting a call one night from a male who told Ed that the person
who took his phone, was calling and harassing him and asked Ed to have the
phone turned off. Ed said he remember calling the police about the stolen
phone. Ed stated that he has two companies, Smart and Company and National
1st Mortgage. Ed stated that he is the only employee and that he puts all
his money is his personal account. We went over how the alarm system works
again. Ed stated he check the back door and that the door does not have a
magnate in it and this is why it would not beep. During this conversation it
was learned that Elizabeth shoes would be the brand name of Polo, they are
white with blue strip on the soles. The bottom of the shoe has four round
circle design on the heel and the ball of the shoe.

they went to the school awards program at 7:00 PM and that they were late.
Elisabeth was suppose to play the harp at the program but because Elizabeth
and Mary Katharine where late getting back from Jogging they did not get to
the school in time to set up to play her harp. Ed, Lois and Elizabeth are
the only family members who went to the program. The rest of the family
stayed home. Lois said that the kids who stated at home where to have no
friends over to the house They stated at the program until about 8:30 PM
and arrived home at approx. 8:45 PM. Lois stated that while she was
cooking she was burning something on the stove, so she open the window just
a little bit, but not all the way. Lois is sure about this. Lois was asked
what type and brand of panties Elizabeth would be wearing. Lois stated that
she is sure that the brand name of the panties is Gap, Lois said she buys
Elizabeth panties and is sure of the brand. Lois also stated that Elizabeth
did have a phone call on Tuesday before she went to bed between 8: 50 PM to
9:00 PM The call was from
and the reason for the call was to get
permission for Elizabeth to go to Beaver with
. Lois stated that
at approx. 10:00 PM Lois asked Ed to check and lock the doors. Lois stated
that the bedroom doors are always open at night time. Lois stated that just
before 4:00 A.M Mary Katharine came into their room and told them that
Elizabeth was taken by a man with a gun. Ed got up and ran to Elizabeth
room pulled the covers off the bed and Elizabeth was gone. Ed said he check
all the rooms in the house and could not find Elizabeth. When Ed and Lois
went to the kitchen they saw that the window was open all the way and that
the screen on the window had been cut. Ed sated he called 911 and told the
police that Elizabeth had been kidnaped. Lois again said she open the
kitchen window a little bit but not all the way like they found it in the
morning. Furthermore Lois stated that the glass vase was in front of the
window and it did not appear to have been moved. Lois said she wonder if
any one could have gotten in the window and not knocked over the vase. Ed
provided a list again of all the person he can think of who did work in the

July 20, 2002 at approx. 1500 hours I was contacted at home by Lt.
Lyman. I was told that a search party had found had suspicious site. I was
told that a possible grave was located with a piece of plastic coming out of
the ground. The Area was in the desert south west of Tooele, and eight
miles past Simpson Springs. Lt. Lyman asked that I respond to Tooele County
S.O and meet up with Detective Johnson from Tooele S.O. Lt. Lyman stated
that he is contacting Jim Winder with Salt Lake County S.O. to provide the
his search dog services. Also was also told that Juan Becerra from the FBI
is also going to respond.
I drove to Tooele S.O and met with Det. Johnson, S/A Becerra and Jim
Winder. We then drove to the camp site in the desert and met up with Tom
Smart and Charles Smart and the search team. The team took us to the
location of concern. The dog search the area with no indication of a body.
The area of concern was then search by hand. A piece of plastic sticking out
of the ground. Becerra grabbed the plastic and it pulled right out of the
ground. The plastic was small and melted. The area was dug up by hand.
There is no indication that the site is a grave. The hole in question is
roughly 3 feet by 4 feet and maybe 15 inches deep. The site did have some
beer cans through out it with small bullet holes in them. Det. Johnson and
Myself, Becerra and Winder concluded that the area was not a crime scene
that involves the Smart case. Tom Smart and Charles Smart stated were told
of our finding. We were told that they just wanted to check everything out
and this is why they called the information in. They were told that we are
happy to check out any and all leads.

When we arrived there were some K-9 dog handlers and, Dave Smart, a man with
a video camera and several state employees from the monument. We spoke with
Kevin Jones the State Archaeologist with the Antiquities Section of the Utah
Division of State History.
Kevin said that the last time that anyone had opened the door to the burial
location was in May 2001. There is a chain link fence that is bolted to
cement retaining walls that protect access to the first of two doors that
you have to unlock to gain entry into the burial location. This chain-link
fence area was in place when Kevin arrived and they had since removed it
prior to our arrival. He did say that a few of the bolts that hold it in
place were missing.
spoke with me and told me that I should be looking for Elizabeth
to be covered in a white canvas type material. I asked him who told him
that and where did he get that information from he replied that it came from
the one of the psychic.
Kevin used unlocked the first door for us and then went down a long set of
stairs to a second door which he also unlocked. He then returned to the top
of the stairs and turned on a fan that ventilates the burial location. We
had to wait five minutes and then we entered the burial location. The only
people to enter the burial location was Det. Scharman, Kevin Jones and
myself.
I observed numerous shelves with brown plywood type casket boxes on the
shelves. The majority of the shelves were empty. We did not see any thing
that looked suspicious or out of place from what Kevin told us we would
find. There was not canvas or blanket and no Elizabeth Smart. We exited
the burial location. Kevin locked each of the two doors as we exited. Kevin
and others then started re-attaching the chain link to the retaining walls
that protect the first locked door. Kevin said that he would make contact
with the monument maintenance personal to have them bring some more bolts
and re-secure the chain link to the retaining wall.

Hi, Kevin,
as you may understand we get a lot of folks claiming to have Elizabeth. I
need verification before I raise the Smart's hopes that we have potentially
located their daughter's kidnapper and Elizabeth is still alive. I need to
know how you got in the house, what you did while in the house, why you
chose Elizabeth and what route you took when you left Elizabeth's roomand
when you left the property.
I realize you don't want a lot of questions right now, but I get a lot of
crack-pots claiming to have Elizabeth. I need to know you are being
straight with me then I can work with Mr Smart on meeting your demands. You
are right, Kevin, I do want to return Elizabeth to her family. It sounds
like you do, too. Work with me on this and we all win.

I know this seems like it will take more time, but I will need this in
order to convince Ed. You are just coming forward after 4+ months of
holding Elizabeth hostage. Your assertion that you have Elizabeth is going
to be met with skepticism by the Smarts. And 3 MILLION dollars is a lot of
money to access without proof you have Elizabeth. I need some kind of
recorded message from her to her parents telling a story only the family

So in other words you don't have her? You are seriously deluded if you
think you are getting anything unless you prove you have her. And if you
"send her body" back you lose 3 million dollars. If you want to score you
need to prove you are not bluffing, Kevin. So far you have not done that.
This tirade of yours leads me to believe you do not have her. Especially
since I ask for proof and you fail to provide it. If you really have her
and you REALLY want $3,000,000.00 you can make and send a tape. And you are
right, you are in control. It's up to you whether you provide the tape.
Provide the tape and you get your money. If you do not AND you have
ElizabethAND you send her home in bag YOU kiss off $3 million Dollars. It's
up to you.

you i dont want any tricks traps or any thing if all goes well ed can pick
up elizabeth and go home if not elizabeth stays with me for the rest of her
life and and ed can deal with the two snipers that will on call. if you
dont have the money or theres other police or anyone else there or you try
and stop my friends from leaveing then the snipers will be called in to
clean up the mess . now look bill none of us want to hurt anybody but we
will if we have to. all you have to do is give us the money and then leave
us alone when we get away ed gets elizabeth and its all over, life goes on
contact me when you get to south carolina or if have somthing to say hurry
the faster you get here the faster elizabeth get to see her father and rest
of her family
I responded with:
Like I have said before: No meet, no money until after we have a tape of
Elizabeth and can verify what you say is true. We won't move until it gets
here so send it overnight. As far as the meet goes, it must be a direct
exchange: you get your money at the same time and the same place we get
Elizabeth. We aren't handing over $3 million without getting Elizabeth when
we give the money to you. And if you are bringing snipers so are we.
You can always pick a public place like a mall or event center to make the
exchange. Lots of people and lots of anonymity. That way you can melt into
the crowd with your money and we can be sure you won't cause a scene with
so many witnesses around while we get Elizabeth to safety.

get you might get alot or maybe even nothin at all so we desided we would
hold some one for ransom now the reason i picked elizabeth, we tought about
who we would kidnapp well we rode around and watched diffrent people for
about a week then we norrawed it down to elizabeth and two others then we
picked the one who looked rich, that had a big house upscale, and that was
elizabeth. Now i got in the house by the front door i went to elizabeths
room woke her up held a gun to her head and told her to get up and get her
shoes i talked very softly and i told her not to make a sound then i took
her out of the bedroom to the famiely room or what ever they called it,
then i went to the front door and my friend took her across the yard and up
to the road i went back in to make sure no one was awake then i went out
the front door locked it and left. OK now as far as the underwear goes she
was wearing hanes her way panties and white socks with alittle blue on
them. There is that all you need to know bill

Sorry to take so long to get back to you. We had a
bank robbery here.
In answer to your question, One of the Smart family
knows about you because
of the email you sent to the Elizabeth web-site, but
they forwarded it to
me. It was in answer to that email that I recently
sent you the list of
things I needed to verify your claim to be

Do you have instant message capability there? If so can we use instant

who run the
tip line told Ed about you and he wants to get this done as quickly as
possible. Also, if your friend has a cell phone call him and tell him the
desk officer is expcecting him. Also we won't do anything to jeopardize
getting Elizabeth back safe and sound. We will not arrest him for dropping
off the tape, but I need that tape to coroborate your story. Otherwise, ed

the final report after the note had been processed for prints and the
results returned to Sgt. Seibert.
On 12/10/02 I received a note from Jan Rhodes with the Missing Persons Unit
of the King County Sheriff's Office. A special bulletin regarding the
finding of the note and its included details along with a business card for
Sgt. J. Corey of the King County Major Crimes Unit accompanied the note from
Ms. Rhodes. Ms. Rhodes stated in her note Sgt. Corey had asked for the
bulletin and his card to be sent to me. Sgt. Corey also called today to
inform me his office would be performing a canvass of the "Firloch"
neighborhood mentioned in the note. They will make street contacts and pass
out flyers of Elizabeth. No further.
Sgt. Corey called back to advise his unit had completed the canvass of the
"Firloch" neighborhood, had passed out 1100 flyers, and that the local media
ad gotten wind of the canvass. No further follow-up necessary and no further
leads on the author of the note or Elizabeth's whereabouts.
01/17/03
Today I received a copy of King County Sheriff report 02-374031 via US Mail.
This report detailed the actions of the King County SO's Major Crimes Unit's
efforts in assisting Kirkland, WA PD (see Kirkland case #02-06539) and SLCPD
with our investigation of the note found in Kirkland. These actions were
specifically carried out by King County S.O. Deputies J.E. Rhodes (#16727)
and her Sgt. J. R. Corey (#04403). Ofcr. Rhodes created a flyer of
Elizabeth and saw to its distribution throughout the Sheriff's Office
(Patrol as well as all other divisions) on 12/02/02. Sgt. Corey organized
the canvassing of the Firloch neighborhood, which occurred on 01/11/03. This
canvass was conducted with the assistance of the King County S.O. Explorer
Post. The Explorers distributed 1100 flyers in the neighborhood. The canvass
generated two possible sightings. Though probably not related, one of the
leads refers to a local drug distribution operation.
On 03/18/03 I received a letter from Sgt. Nick Seibert of the Kirkland
Police Department expressing his happiness upon hearing about the location
of Elizabeth and her abductors. Sgt. Seibert also included a copy of
Kirkland's case file on the note found in Kirkland. File was filed under the

with DDA Morgan the item had indeed been authorized for release. Det. Parks

undisturbed.
I returned to my office with the item, removed the windchime from the brown
paper bag labeled "MAB1" and resealed the bag with clear tape clearly
marking the tape with my initials and ID # (K49). I returned the bag to
evidence and created a new item (Item # 3), the windchime, under property
report 96734BM, listing the item as returned to owner. I also signed the
windchime out of evidence via an appendix D form which had the tag sticker
for Item #3 attached to the bottom of the form. I requested and received two

He was contemplating destroying the evidence.
His age is in the 20's to mid 30's range.

PSI further stated in the next paragraph (under the heading "Information On
Suspect Collected By Ground Search Team Investigators-November 2002), "[t]he
ground search team immediately went to work using the PSI Tech data,
matching it with possible suspects. A few weeks into November they provided
PSI TECH with a striking match. This is the data they collected on the
suspect along with his photograph. (Note: PSI TECH has turned over its
information to law enforcement and is not releasing the name until the

reason to suspect Mr.

their psychically generated leads which were not credible based on our

secured in one of the cells also. I then responded to the interview room
where Det. Parks and Elizabeth were. After verifying the interview was
being recorded, Det. Parks began interviewing Elizabeth, Ofcr. K Jones soon
joined us.
At Det. Parks request, I removed Elizabeth's handcuffs. Det. Parks asked
Elizabeth to remove her sunglasses and wig. Elizabeth complied. Det. Parks
then began interviewing Elizabeth. Once Det. Parks determined enough of
the particulars of the crime, he suspended the interview and told me Mr.
Mitchell and Ms. Barzee were under arrest for Kidnapping and Sexual
Assault. We then arranged for transport of Mr. Mitchell, Ms. Barzee,
Elizabeth and their belongings to the SLCPD Station.
When I arrived at the SLCPD station I was assigned to assist Det. Prior in
sending out an NLETS/NCIC alert to inform Law Enforcement of the recovery
of Elizabeth. That completed I spoke with Sgt. Millard regarding the "Book
of Immanuel David Isaiah" still in possession of
Sgt.
Millard decided we should attempt to obtain the copy. I explained that Ms.
was adamant that Mr. Mitchell would not have commited a
kidnapping and may not want to cooperate with us. Det. M. Scharman was
assigned to lead the effort .
I responded to
(home of Irene Mitchell, Mr. Mitchell's
mother) with Det. Scharman, DA Chief Investigator Mike George and DDA Kent
Morgan. We met with Ms.
at the residence. Det. Scharman asked
Ms.
if she still had the manuscript in her possession. Ms,
stated she had sent it along with a music CD to her brother in
Montana. Telephone contact was made, with Ms.
assistance,
with
. Det. Scharman spoke with Mr.
after Ms.
had made contact. Mr.
had not received the package
containing the manuscript and according to Det. Scharman did not appear to
be willing to give the manuscript to law enforcement upon his receiving it.
Attention then turned to the wheeled shed knownd as "the Ark of the
Covenant" which was on the south side of the house. Again with the
assistance of Ms.
Det. Scharman made telephone contact with
Irene Mitchell and obtained permission to remove the shed from Mrs.
Mitchell's property. Det. Scharman returned Chief Investigator George and
DDA Morgan to SLC. I remained at the Mitchell residence securing the shed.
I called for a flat bed tow truck for the impound and called SLCSO for
assistance in blocking traffic on the roadway so the tow truck could get in
to perform the impound. The County watch commander and two County patrol
units responded to the scene, securing it until we left the scene.

Det Scharman returned to the scene and we assisted the tow truck driver in
loading the shed onto the truck. Ms.
soon left the scene as
well. We returned to SLC after the tow truck left the scene. Upon arriving
back at the station I secured the DVD recordings of the interviews with Mr.
Mitchell and Ms. Barzee in my locked cabinet in my locked office.
On 3/13/03 I obtained the DVD recording of Det. Schoney and SA Thiede's
interview with Elizabeth from DetSchoney and made a copy for her use. NFD.

The interview was on 03/12/2003 at about 1530hrs. After entering the room we
introduced or self to the female and I asked her for her name. She responded
by saying that her name was Wanda Ilene Barzee with the date of birth of
11/06/1945. It was at this time that she told us that she preferred to be
called Hopsibar,it was her bible name. She then went on to tell us that she
had traveled around the country doing organ recital and she mentioned three
cities that she had been to. They were Boston,Philadelphia and New York
City. She also talked about revelations that her and her husband had
received and that they were testifying of Jesus Christ. She went on for some
time until I stopped her for the purpose of giving her a Miranda warning.
This was twenty one minutes into the interview. I was able to tell her that
she didn't have to talk with me and she stopped me by saying that she needed
to testify of Jesus Christ. I again attempted to give her a Miranda warning
at twenty three minutes into the interview and she responded by saying I do
but I really don't know where I stand.
She was upset and becoming more upset as the interview progressed. It was at
this point that I believed she was not going to answer any questions about
Miranda. Her emotions since to be going up and down and she had a difficult
time staying focused of any one subject. Prior to my attempts to give
Miranda she had made the statement." This opened the way for Elizabeth to be
taken". During our interview I had tried to stop her several times and she
would just continue to talk. She was very determined to tell her story
without interruption. It was at this time that I first asked her about
Elizabeth Smart. She continued to tell her story and I again asked her about
the victim.
The interview lasted about four hours and through the interview she told me
that she had knowledge that her husband was going to the Smart house to take
Elizabeth. She had explained that they had been commanded by God to practice
plural marriage. She first saw Elizabeth when her husband had brought her
into there camp and she was wearing her red pajamas. She told us that it was
at this time that she realized that she would have to share her husband with

Elizabeth. She told us that she had to assist her in washing and clothe her
in the new garment which was a tunic. She also had to give her to her
husband who she referred to as Emanuel. She also knew that she had to leave
them alone so that her husband could seal her to him and then consummate the
marriage. I asked her what it meant to consummate the marriage and she told
me to have sex with her.
Wanda also told us that they had stayed in the mountains above Salt Lake and
several times they heard searcher call out Elizabeth name and they would
come very close to where they were camped. They told Elizabeth that their
lives were in her hands and that they would die if she called out. She did
say that they had several trips into Salt Lake and that they would wear
veils over their faces. She talked about going to the library in Salt Lake
and several other locations. She also related that Emanuel would go into
Salt Lake for food and supplies. She then told us that the Lord had
commanded them to flee Salt Lake and to go to San Diego. This on the 6th or
7th of October. She said that the lord supplied them with 178.00 dollars and
they bought bus tickets to San Diego.
The three of them traveled to San Diego area and stayed in a remote area
near San Diego. This is where she said they spent most of the winter. She
did say that they would come into San Diego about once a week to eat at the
missions and churches. At some point during the camp near San Diego Emanuel
did not return to there camp site for also one week. She believes that he
had been arrested. She did related that at one point Emanuel had gone to
church and had been invited home by a family for dinner. He later had gone
back to the house with the intension of kidnaping another victim that lived
in that residence. He was unable to get into the house because it was locked
up tight. She described the area of the camp site in detail and also
described alters that they had made in the area. She also told us that
Emanuel was having sex with Elizabeth often and she would be present to
teach and instructed Elizabeth how to have sex. She also told us that at
first Elizabeth had a hard time accepting what was happening but she became
more used of it later. She did say that Elizabeth was not a willing
participant initially and she hated Emanuel.
The name that they had given Elizabeth to go by was Shearjashub but
Elizabeth later wanted it changed to Esther. Wanda admitted that she feared
losing her husband to Elizabeth but she considered her a sister wife. She
also related that they had told Elizabeth that she had to sacrifice her red
pajamas by cutting them up or burning them in the fire this was done before
they left Salt Lake. She decided to burn them in the fire.Wanda then told us
that they had received a commandment from god to return to Salt Lake. She
told us that she knew that they would be arrested.

After we had finished with the interview one of the F.B.I supervisors asked
if I would go back in and ask about a break in that had taken place in Salt
Lake County. I stepped back into the room and asked her if there had been
any other attempts to obtain wives here in Salt Lake City. She told me that
there had been a Olivia that was Elizabeth cousin a that Emanuel had attempt
to take her. She went on to tell me that the lord had commanded them to
obtain six more wives in the wilderness and that Elizabeth had suggested
that her cousin be taken. Wanda went on to say that Elizabeth had described
the cousins bedroom and had drawn a floor plan of the residence. We were
told that Elizabeth was excited because Olivia was her best friend. Both
Wanda and Elizabeth stayed in the camp while Emanuel went to the cousins
house.
After going to the residence we were told that Emanuel had gone to Teresa's
window and knocked off the contents on the dresser. This alerted the
residence and Emanuel fled. Wanda told us that the lord had closed the way
up. I also asked if Emanuel had carried a knife and Wanda told us that he
had a hunting knife. but didn't know if he had it with him when he went to
the cousins house. Wanda last saw the knife the night that Elizabeth was
taken. R/o had little information about the burglary case in the County at
the time of the interview.

Mrs.
stated she met with Mr. Mitchell on a cold day in September or
October of 2000 or February to March of 2001. Mr. Mitchell took 6 hours to
tell Mrs.
what he believed, when God had told Mr. Mitchell and Ms.
Barzee to start wearing their robes, to change their names and that God had
told Mitchell and Barzee that Mrs.
was to be Mr. Mitchell's second
wife. Mr. Mitchell noticed Mrs.
engagement ring and asked Mrs.
to sell it and run away with him and Ms. Barzee into the mountains.
Mr. Mitchell stated he would allow Mrs.
to think about his proposal
for a few days. A few days later Mr. Mitchell came into the Crossroads
Jarman's store and handed Mrs.
a letter. Mrs.
stated (and I
confirmed by viewing a photocopy) the letter was dated March 1, 2001 so the
park meeting was probably in February 2001.
Mrs.
agreed to allow me to make and keep a photocopy of the letter,
four pages hand-written, for the case file (See Book 2 Vol I.4 "1" Leads
under "August-February 2001" tab).
Mrs.
stated Mr. Mitchell told her that marrying her fiance' would be
wrong and if Mrs.
married her fiance' the Lord would cross their
paths again. Mr. Mitchell then told Mrs.
he and Ms. Barzee were
going away and would see her again. Mrs.
stated Mr. Mitchell told
Mrs.
that if she chose to marry her fiance' the lord would lead Mrs.
to Mr. Mitchell or lead Mr. Mitchell to Mrs.
"like he had
before." Mr. Mitchell further stated this would be done to show Mrs.
they would cross paths again in order to give Mrs.
a sign
that joining Mr. Mitchell's polygamy group.
Mrs.
stated at the time she had been meeting with Mr. Mitchell, Mrs.
had just recently left the Kingston group by being baptized into the
LDS Church. Mrs.
stated she was still very submissive at the time.
Mrs.
stated if her first contact with Mr. Mitchell had occurred
today she would not have met Mr. Mitchell in the park as she did in February
2001. Mrs.
stated there was nothing in his mannerisms, words or
nature that made Mrs.
fear for her safety.
The interview ended at 1405 hours.
When I learned Mr. Mitchell had refused to comply with the court order
issued 4/1/03 to compel a set of exemplars for his handwriting, I notified
Det. Parks and DDA Harms of my interview with Mrs.
and her
surrender of copies of the letter she received from Mr. Mitchell in March
of 2001. The letter was apparently written by Mr. Mitchell. I received
For: 13L
1005-0 KIDNAP-MINOR
instructions from Mr. Harms and Det. Parks to turn over copies of the
letter to CL Dir G. Throckmorton for analysis.
I then contacted Mrs.
on 5/7/03 and requested she send the original
letter to me via her local law enforcement agency (City of Mobile, AL PD;
Cpl. Pharr assisted). I requested Mrs.
respond to her local law
enforcement agency at her convenience and contact me when she had arrived.
at which time i would fax her a consent form and a witness statement which
I asked Mrs.
to fill out. Mrs.
responded to Mobile PD and
met Cpl. Pharr. Cpl Pharr called me and gave me her FAX#. I explained what
I was trying to accomplish to Cpl. Pharr. I asked Cpl. Pharr to see that
the forms were filled out and included with the original letter, then sent
to me at the SLCPD address. I then FAXED the aforementioned forms.
When I arrived at work on 5/27/03, I found an un-opened letter from Mobile
PD in my box. I opened the envelope and found the signed consent form (Cpl.
Pharr had not witnessed the form so I signed as witness and wrote the
description-the letter from Mr. Mitchell to Mrs.
the witness
statement (I filled in the "Officer" portion) and the original letter in
the original envelope. I secured the consent form and the witness statement
in Book 2 Vol. I-4, "1" leads, "August 2000-March 2001" tab under Mrs.
name. The original letter and envelope I forwarded to CL Dir
Throckmorton by hand. NFD.

On March 12, 2003 I heard a rumor in the office at the FBI building that
Elizabeth Smart had been located in Sandy with Emmanuel and his wife. I
called Det. M. Scharman to verify the story. He said that he had not heard
that and that he would call FBI Supervisor Kevin Frysley and verify and then
call me back. I then called Det. C. Parks to verify the story. Det. Parks
said that it was true that Elizabeth had been found and that he was with
her. I then responded to the sixth floor of the PSB building and was told
that Elizabeth was in the homicide interview room. I was told that Ed &
Louis Smart and their children were in the conference room on the eighth
floor. I went upstairs to the 8th floor to meet with the Smart family. Det.
M. Scharman was already in the room. As I walked in the room Ed came
up to me and gave me a big hug and said thank you several times. Louis was
sitting holding Mary Katherine. We talked for a few minutes with the
family. We all kneeled and Ed offered a prayer of thanks for the safe
return of Elizabeth. We talked for few more minutes. I left the conference
room and spoke with Chief Dinse's secretary Nita Wright and verified that
she knew that the Smart family was in the conference room and to see if they
needed any food or water.
I went back to the sixth floor and watched from the video viewing room and
watched parts of the interview of Elizabeth, Brian David Mitchell and his
wife Wanda Barzee. At one point Elizabeth's interview was interrupted and
she was taken to the 8th floor to meet with her family. A little while
latter she returned to the homicide interview room and the interview
continued. During the second part of the interview Louis Smart sat in the
video viewing room with FBI Supervisor Kevin Frysley and FBI ASAC Dan
Roberts. Louis sat in the room until the interview was completed. I
finalized the DVD that the interview was recorded on. I immediately gave
that DVD to Sgt. D. Bell.
Latter in the evening I assisted in typing a timeline of the leads related
to "Emmanuel" from when the police department was first notified of the
Emmanuel lead up to today's date. Sgt. R. Millard and Det. M. Scharman, and
Det. Parks assisted in putting the timeline together which was done at the
request of Chief Dinse's office.

Det. M. Scharman made arrangements with the UHP Helicopter pilot Steve Rugg
to be available to fly us up the Canyons east of the block "U" in an attempt
to locate a camp that Elizabeth spoke about during her interview where she
said that the three of them stayed immediately after the kidnapping. Det.
M. Scharman, FBI SA Scott Snyder and myself met the pilot Steve at the State
hanger. We first flew up the South Fork of Dry canyon there was some snow
in the canyon and some high winds so we didn't spend a lot of time in the
canyon but also didn't see anything in relation to a camp. We then flew
into the North Fork of Dry Canyon and located a tent site from the air. The
tent was a pale yellow and green in color. The helicopter was landed at the
top of the ridge line and FBI SA Snyder and I hiked down to the camp site.
As we hiked down to the tent site we located a small cave like opening on
the east side of the gulley about 100 yards north and up the canyon from the
tent site. We did have information from Elizabeth that there was a spot
where the camp was dug out. The cave type site had about 12 inches of water
at the entrance. Latter after FBI ERT members examined the cave it appeared
to them to go back in about 25 feet and the water was as far back as they
could see. The tent seemed fairly new and one side had collapsed. The rain
fly was off the tent. About 75 feet south of the tent was a fire pit and
close to the fire pit was a small piece of cotton type lacing tied around
the base of a tree. There was only one garbage type bag with cans in it
just outside the tent. In the tent were some pants, shirts, boxer type
shorts, one sleeping bag and a camping type pad for the sleeping bag. There
was a porn magazine "Cheri" with a mail label on it with the name of
zip code 84105. I gave this information to Sgt. Millard for further
follow-up. There was a paperback Book of Mormon that didn't appear to have
been used much.
FBI Evidence Response Team (ERT) members under the direction of FBI SA
Snyder responded and processed the scene. I made a request to Sgt. Millard
that Elizabeth Smart be contacted and asked several questions to about this
camp site to see if we could verify if we were at the right site because
there was some doubt that this camp site was not the correct site due to
some inconsistencies in what we were finding at the camp site and what
Elizabeth had described in her statement. I was told that Elizabeth was
not going to be made available to us and then latter I heard that Ed, Louis
and Elizabeth had not even been contacted concerning her identifying the
camp site.
The scene was processed by the FBI ERT as if it was the camp site. FBI ERT
took custody of the evidence. I made a digital video of the camp site. The
next morning March 14, 2003 I showed the video to Sgt. Millard, Captain
Winkler. I made a copy of the video from the digital format to VHS format.
I put the original digital video in evidence. The VHS copy was given to Sgt
Millard.

limbs that rested on the ground and then at the top end were supported by
"A" frame supports to keep the limbs off the ground. These tree limbs acted
as trusses. Smaller tree limbs were laid cross ways across the truss
timbers. Tarp and plastic was then placed over those and dirt a few inches
thick was placed on top of the tarp and plastic. The trusses and the support
beams had been notched out to make them more stable. On the support beam
the end that rested against the ground had been wrapped in black plastic and
then duct tapped in place. The plastic was wrapped around the beams to
preserve and protect the beams from the elements. Almost all the items
found in the shelter had been tied or secured to the roof of the shelter or
put in buckets or rubber maid containers and covered by plastic for storage
away from the elements. The south end of the shelter was clear of any tree
limbs or covering. The north end of the shelter had been camouflaged by
tree limbs being placed across the opening. The north opening led out to a
excavated flat piece of ground. A retaining wall had been created and the
dirt that had been excavated had been made flat. It appeared that the area
had been prepared for a tent site. Further to the north the ground had been
dug out and terraced. In this area was the campfire ringed by rocks. Just
north of this site was another hole that appeared to be the latrine for the
camp.
The entire area was densely wooded with very tall scrub oak all around. See
FBI ERT reports for further details of all items that were recovered from
the shelter. Some of the items found at the site were the following. A
coil of cable along with bolt cutters were found in one bag. A axe, some
shovels, tents and mattress type pads, and storage containers.
All the evidence was taken to the FBI building.

1000 hrs. I attended a conference call on the 12th floor of the FBI
building which was with the FBI Behavioral Squad.
1055 hrs. I responded to the District Attorneys office with Det. M.
Scharman and met with Kent Morgan. He gave Det. Scharman the information
and warrants to be signed Judge Medley. We then went to the Matheson Court
House and met with Judge Medley, he read and signed the warrant and
information. We then took the warrant and information to the court clerk
were it was recorded and entered in the computer. Certified copies were
made and given to Det. Scharman. We then responded to the Salt Lake County
Jail and served the warrants in person.
Sgt. Millard called and I respond to the PSB and met with him. He tasked me
with contacting FBI SA Snyder about using a Nikon Aims system to diagram the
campsite in South Fork of Dry Canyon. I called SA Snyder and he said that

the plan was to wait until next week on two counts, one on the bad weather
and the other that the FBI SA that knows how to run the Nikon instrument
were not in town until next week.
I called Sgt. Millard back and informed him of the above information and
that I would call him next week when the FBI SA got back in town and I would
keep him notified what the FBI was going to do next week.
1400 hrs. I went with Det. M. Scharman to the District Attorney's office and
met with Kent Morgan and other DA investigators and assistant DA's. I was
asked by Kent Morgan to attend a meeting at the State Crime Lab tomorrow at
1000 hrs to go over evidence.
Wednesday March 19, 2003
0950 hrs. I received a call from Sgt. Millard and he told me that he had
heard that the FBI was planning to go up to the campsite today. I told him
that I had not heard that. He then informed me that I was being relieved of
any further responsibility in relation to the Elizabeth Smart case. Sgt.
Millard thanked me for my work and time that I put into the case. I reminded
him of the meeting at the State Crime Lab that I had been assigned to
attend, he said that Det. Parks would be in attendance at that meeting and
that he would reassign the campsite responsibility to Det. D. Jensen. nfd.

I didn't push the religious issue any further for the following
reasons:
1) The complainant didn't have any information beyond the fact that the
females eyes looked like Elizabeth's eyes. I made significant eye contact
with the female and couldn't make the same connection.
2) The female appeared to me to be about 18 years old. The man
independently said that she was about that age.
3) I didn't see any signs of nervousness in the female. I made plenty
of eye contact with her and could see that she was clearly not under any
distress.
4) The younger female was right next to meat one point I was even
positioned between her and the two older persons. At any time, she could
have simply taken my arm and she would have been entirely protected from the
other two.
When I left the library, I was entirely convinced that the complaint
was unfounded. It should be easy enough to know for sure by asking
Elizabeth about the incident.
