FBI Looks at Security Video in Kidnap Case
The FBI is trying to enhance a security videotape from a parking lot half a mile from the Salt Lake City home where 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart was taken from her bedroom at gunpoint.
The videotape from Shriners Hospital shows two cars meeting in the parking lot hours before Smart disappeared June 5. A security guard described one driver as vaguely similar to the man Elizabeth’s sister saw in their shared bedroom that night.
Officials are reconstructing a one-minute portion of the tape, FBI special agent Kevin Eaton said. The crime lab is expected to extract still pictures by Tuesday.
