What a warrior!

[@TrueWalker88]

I'm amazed at how accomplished she seems and how affluent her life seems. Running, playing the harp, having 3 kids, living in a beautiful home. I haven't had anything near her traumas and I can barely take care of myself.

[@marir838]

Right ??

You are an inspiration and a blessing to those who are hurting at the hands of others. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@loribaker8339]

You are amazing Elizabeth. How you were able to go on in your life and do so good is incredible to me. How you didn't fall apart after being rescued I'll never understand. That just tells me your faith in our Savior, Jesus Christ and your family has always been so very strong. It's a joy seeing what you continue to do in your life and how you continue to build people up. You really are pretty amazing!

[@beths999]

Hi Minky, I am so sorry that you went through that. However, I am so happy that you have triumphed in life-giving with all that you have gone through. Also, this was such a wonderful video sharing your story.

God loves you, dear.

People who ask "Why didn't you run?" or "Why didn't you say something to that detective in the library?" need to understand, that Mitchell broke into her house and kidnapped her, what could stop him from doing it again? He repeatedly told her if she ran, or tried to run, if she said anything he didn't want her to, that he would kill her and her family. He also raped her EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. It's easy to say "I would've ran" "I would've shouted for help" and "I would've spoken up sooner" but until you're in that situation, you can't for certain say you would've done it differently.

She also was aware that he had tried to get her cousin out of her bed.

Her voice and way of speaking remind me a bit of Gwyneth Paltrow

[@joelmelissam]

Wait? She was handcuffed? After 9 months of captivity? I realise they were not thinking shed done anything wrong, but what possible justification could there be?

[@Lizfan2]

I read that it's standard procedure. think it has something to do with the Stockholm Syndrome thing.

Elizabeth is a pretty-looking Mormon.

[@rebeccaanderton1178]

99% of members of the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are quite beautiful
