Elizabeth Smart, who was kidnapped at the age of 14 and held for nine months in 2002, calls the discovery of reported kidnap victim Abdul Aziz Khan "a miracle" and says it serves as a powerful reminder that "we cannot give up on any missing person." Khan was reportedly kidnapped from Atlanta in 2017 by his noncustodial mother.
"We don't know what he went through, and as a survivor myself, I'm grateful that I was kidnapped by a stranger," Smart said during an exclusive appearance on "Banfield." "I'm grateful I was raped and abused by a stranger because I can't imagine how deep that betrayal would feel if it was by a family member."
