One of Elizabeth Smart’s convicted kidnappers, Wanda Barzee, was seen in a new mugshot on Utah’s Sex Offender Registry, smiling from ear to ear.

In Utah, sex offenders are required to register twice a year, once on their birthday and then six months later to the date, according to Utah law. 

Nearly 20 years after her conviction for holding Smart captive for nine months, Barzee, 79, was arrested on May 1 after she allegedly violated sex offender restrictions. 

She was arrested at her Salt Lake City, Utah, home on Thursday after she allegedly visited at least two parks, which she is prohibited from doing as a registered sex offender, according to reports.

“Coming back and being with my family was everything I dreamed of while I was being held kidnapped,” she previously told Fox News Digital. “All I wanted was to make it home, feel love again, feel safe again. I wanted to gain the courage, as cliché as it sounds, to follow my dreams. These weren’t extravagant dreams. I wanted to go to high school, get my driver’s license, go to prom, go on a first date, go to college, get married, have a family.”

In 2018, Barzee was released from prison and placed under five years of federal supervision in addition to being registered as a sex offender. She was ordered not to contact Smart’s family.

Sex offenders cannot be within 1,000 feet of a victim’s residence if a victim-requested restriction is in place, according to the Utah Legislature.

Smart is a married mother of three, but her story is far from over. She is a child safety activist who regularly speaks on behalf of missing and exploited children. She’s also partnering with “America’s Most Wanted” to serve as a guest speaker for an episode of “America’s Most Wanted: Missing Persons.”
