Elizabeth Smart’s kidnapper now lives near Salt Lake City elementary school

(Utah Department of Corrections via AP, File) This 2017 photo shows Wanda Barzee. Barzee, who helped kidnap Utah’s Elizabeth Smart, is living a couple of blocks away from an elementary school in Salt Lake City following her release from prison in September. Utah’s online sex-offender registry lists 73-year-old Barzee as living in a house near a school for kids ages pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. Federal probation officers didn’t return a phone message, but Barzee’s supervised release guidelines don’t seem to prohibit the arrangement.
