Barzee is now obliged to make weekly checks after her arrest for allegedly visiting parks in Salt Lake City, which she is limited from doing because of her status as a registered gender offender.

“Detective developed information that Barzee is said to have visited at least two parks in Salt Lake City, including Liberty Park and Sugar House Park, in violation of state law,” Brent Weisberg, spokesman for the department, told People.

Barzee was later released on legal orders. However, SLCP said it will continue to monitor this situation as part of a joint effort with other agencies.

Barzee was originally arrested with his husband, Brian David Mitchell, in 2003 after they kidnapped Smart in 2002 and held her captivity for almost a year, moved between rounded houses and abandoned campsites in Utah and the San Diego area.

During the time that Smart was held in captivity, she was subjected to almost daily sexual abuse by Mitchell. Smart discussed Barzee’s participation in the assaults and said she would encourage her husband and often be present while the teenager was abused by Mitchell.

The public was warned to Mitchell and Barzee’s identity after Smart’s sister, who witnessed the kidnapping, recalled that the man whose voice she heard that night was the same man who had previously been hired to do work at home.

Although he was arrested in 2003, Barzee did not stand for federal allegations until 2009 and state charges until 2010.

Before that, she had been considered mentally inappropriate, and in 2006 a judge in Utah with forced medication Barzee signed that she may be competent to stand in trial.

It seemed to work, and in 2009 she cited a guilty basis for federal allegations of kidnapping and attraction of a minor.

She also reached an agreement with prosecutors and agreed to testify against Mitchell at his state and federal trials.

In 2010, she pleaded for an appeal for worsened kidnapping in Utah.

Barzee then went to Texas, where she served her federal sentence until 2016, when she returned to Utah.

She told Gayle King that prison sources are said to inform her that Barzee was still carrying a “book with revelations” that Mitchell wrote while posing as a Christ -like religious figure.

“To hear that she is still wearing it around and still sticks to me, sticks to it. I think it is very uncomfortable,” Smart said. “I think she is a danger because she has clearly not released it.

“She is still a big threat, and not just for me but for the public in general,” Smart said about Barzee. “I mean, to all people who are vulnerable out there.”
