Elizabeth Smart has reflected on the 20 years since she was abducted from her family home in Salt Lake City, , saying her 'desire to live' and 'do good in the world' has outweighed her trauma. The 34-year-old was taken from her bed at knifepoint on June 5, 2002, when she was 14 years old, and held captive by Brian and his wife, Wanda Barzee, before she was rescued on March 12, 2003. 'It took me a while to recognize that I will never be who I was before all this happened. That will never happen. That person is gone,' she told . 'I needed to learn to be OK with my new life, and that took time. It didn't just happen overnight.'
