as news spread that Jamie CLA was alive and safe 88 days of holding on to the faith that our authorities would never
00:00:15
give up and they certainly did not almost immediately thoughts turned to another celebrated case and when we hear

00:00:50
publicized and memorable child abductions we have not given up on you Elizabeth we're going to find you it
00:00:57
took nine months of searching and sorrow before the smart family could celebrate
00:01:03
Elizabeth's safe return they took me to this room and when they open the door and she was there I just I couldn't

00:01:30

00:03:54
ups and downs allow yourself to grieve and move forward October 6 2002 was a Sunday it was about
00:04:05
1:00 in the afternoon Shawn was bored and uh asked if he could go out to play he wanted to ride his bike to his
00:04:13
friend's house something that we had let him do you know hundreds maybe thousands
00:04:18
of times before to me he was just my sweet little boy the parents of sha Hornbeck also
00:04:25
know the pain of waiting after a child goes missing Shawn was was 11 when he vanished in Missouri in 2002 it would
00:04:34
take 4 and 1/2 years before Shawn's parents learned what happened I didn't really know it was behind
00:04:41
me you know I was in the ditch that's when he picked me up tied my hands behind my back and put me in
00:04:51
the truck he had the gun he had the power a random stranger a child Predator named Mike delin abducted Shawn the
00:05:03
thing that sticks out the most is he said you were just in the wrong place at the wrong
00:05:09
time Sean's nightmare came to an end when delin kidnapped another boy this time from a school bus stop a witness
00:05:17
helped law enforcement track down the vehicle delin drove which led them to find both boys at Devin's
00:05:24
apartment and then the parents who didn't know if they'd ever see their son again again laid eyes on sea and that
00:05:33
was just the most wonderful feeling that you could have and then it was like the
00:05:37
Waterworks were just on there there was no off button on it it's like a water man
00:05:43
broke since then Sean has mostly stayed out of the spotlight he was last reported to be working in a factory with
00:05:51
hopes of obtaining a college degree in criminal law of course it's too soon to know how
00:05:57
Jamie Claus will now move on unlike these other cases her parents will not be there to welcome her home I
00:06:06
think it's going to be hard not having her parents there but but making the connection she can and finding the love
00:06:13
and support from the community ed Smart's daughter Elizabeth has rebuilt her life she's now married
00:06:20
with Children speaking with Gail King this past September Elizabeth Smart said part of a recovery involved letting go I
00:06:29
don't don't feel that I could have moved forward in my life had I still been holding on to hate and anger inside me
00:06:36
because that would still be taking up a percentage of of my soul and just hours after Jamie was found Elizabeth had this
00:06:45
advice for her there is no going back to who she was before she was kidnapped it's not possible took me years to
00:06:55
realize that I would never go back to being who I was before I was Kid I'd say now start start looking for your
00:07:03
new normal because you you can't go back to the old normal that's gone
