SALT LAKE CITY — The estranged wife of the man charged with abducting Elizabeth Smart in 2002 said Friday that he began stalking young girls about a year earlier, and, in hindsight, she thinks he used religion to manipulate her.
“He was a great deceiver,” Wanda Eileen Barzee told jurors during her second day testifying in Brian David Mitchell’s trial in Salt Lake City’s U.S. District Court.
Barzee answered questions for more than six hours. When prosecutors asked whether Mitchell had ever expressed regret for Smart’s kidnapping, she answered “no.”
