SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah woman kidnapped at knifepoint at age 14 and held captive for nine months is getting married. A spokesman for 24-year-old Elizabeth Smart says she got engaged last weekend and will likely marry in the summer. No details about the groom-to-be were disclosed. The spokesman says Smart plans to keep her personal life private. Smart’s father, Ed Smart, tells The Associated Press his future son-in-law is a “fine young man.” Ed Smart says he’s pleased for his daughter and hopes she has a happy life. Onetime itinerant street preacher Brian David Mitchell was convicted in 2010 of Smart’s 2002 kidnapping and sexual assault. He’s serving a life prison sentence.
