The woman convicted of kidnapping Elizabeth Smart over two decades ago was arrested Thursday for violating her sex offender probation.

Wanda Barzee, who, along with her husband Brian David Mitchell, abducted Elizabeth Smart when she was 14 years old in 2002, is facing accusations of illegally visiting Liberty Park and Sugar House Park in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Reportedly, the now 79-year-old informed the Salt Lake City Police Department that she felt God was encouraging her to go to these green spaces to “sit on the benches and feed the ducks,” as reported by KUTV.

The convicted kidnapper was not allowed to visit parks due to her sex offender status, according to court records obtained by the outlet.

Barzee was reportedly released on the condition that she call authorities once a week, attend court hearings and not “commit any criminal offense.” 

The two parks are located less than 10 miles from her Salt Lake home, according to KUTV.

In the fateful year of 2002, Barzee and Mitchell, who worked as a street preacher, entered Smart’s Salt Lake City bedroom through an open window and took her away at knifepoint.

The teen was raped on a near-daily basis, and lived with the couple in run-down homes and campsites in Utah and San Diego.

Smart was found nine months later after a good Samaritan saw the trio walking in the suburb of Sandy, Utah and called police.

Mitchell was sentenced to life behind bars after being convicted of raping and kidnapping Smart.

In 2010, Barzee was sentenced to spend 15 years in prison. But her time behind bars was cut short.

She was set free five years early in 2018 when Utah authorities said they had miscalculated the amount of time she should have served.

Barzee was on supervised release for five years, required to receive mental health treatment and she was banned from contacting Smart’s family.

Smart, now a married mother in her 30s, was outraged that Barzee was able to leave prison early and demanded that she go to a mental health facility instead of being free.

Smart claimed the freed felon “saw me as her slave. She called me her handmaiden. She never hesitated to let her displeasure with me be known.”

Smart also spoke out when the parolee decided to rent an apartment near an elementary school shortly after her sentence ended.

“Every possible caution and protection should be taken when it comes to protecting our children. Whether a person is deemed a current threat or if they have a history of child abuse, neglect, sexual violence, etc., prudent measures should be taken, including housing them as far away as possible from schools, families and community centers,” Smart wrote in a statement.
