Last Dance: The Pelley Murders - Part 2

In the second installment of our Lost and Found series, we revisit the harrowing case of Elizabeth Smart, a 14-year-old girl abducted from her bedroom in the middle of the night. Raised in a close-knit Mormon family in Salt Lake City, Utah, Elizabeth’s life was upended when a simple act of kindness—offering help to a local transient—set the stage for a chilling and calculated kidnapping. What followed was a months-long ordeal filled with psychological manipulation, forced travel across state lines, and an unimaginable fight for survival. Against all odds, Elizabeth’s story became one of resilience, strength, and an unforgettable return home. This episode explores how one family’s faith and perseverance—and a public unwilling to forget—helped bring Elizabeth back from the brink.   #ElizabethSmart #TrueCrimePodcast #LostAndFoundSeries #MissingPersons #SurvivorStory #KidnappingCase #TrueCrimeCommunity #Resilience #ColdCaseFiles #JusticeForVictims #TrueCrimeObsessed #RealCrimeStories #TrueCrimeAddict #CrimePodcast #TrueCrimeDailySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Snatched in broad daylight by strangers in a seemingly random act, Jaycee’s disappearance would haunt investigators and her family for 18 long years. But this was no ordinary kidnapping. Her captors had meticulously planned every detail—and the truth of what happened behind closed doors is even more disturbing than you might imagine. How do families cope when a loved one vanishes without a trace? When do you give up hope—or do you ever? This series explores the emotional limbo of missing persons cases, the fight to keep their stories alive, and the rare, miraculous moments when the unthinkable becomes reality.
