Episode: SURVIVED: Elizabeth Smart
It was written by Elizabeth Smart's uncle and discussed the initial police investigation, including the theory that the kidnapping might have been an inside job.
when it was dark, they, they being the profilers, noted that from the outside the home was like a fishbowl with no curtains on the windows and plenty of places for a stalker to hide in the cover of the scrub oak. Before the agents left, they came up with a profile of the person who kidnapped Elizabeth and left that profile with the task force. Their assessment was that this was a sex offense, that the crime was premeditated and that the abductor would have taken Elizabeth to a predetermined place. They believed he would be keeping track of the case through the media. He probably had previous sexual issues and he may have been arrested for sexual offenses such as voyeurism.
