Finding Elizabeth

When they got to Sandy, Utah, people recognized “Immanuel” from the show, and immediately called The Sandy Police. When the police found the trio, they had asked them what their names were, and Elizabeth had first told authorities that her name was Augustine Marshall. She was still afraid of the harm that Mitchell could inflict on her. But the police reassured her saying, “Elizabeth, you’re safe now. Your family needs you,” and they took her away from Mitchell and Barzee and into a holding cell to await her real parents’ arrival.

Back Where She Belongs

Elizabeth’s father recalls the amazing day that he received a phone call from Detective Parks who worked for the Sandy Police Department. He said it came at around 1 p.m. and they told him that they believed they had found their daughter who had been missing for 9 months. When they arrived at the station, Elizabeth’s mom demanded that Elizabeth be allowed to come out of the holding room to see them. They couldn’t believe their shock and happiness when it really was their Elizabeth. Her father says he grabbed her, not being able to hold back his tears and thought to himself, ‘Thank you! What a miracle this was. What a blessing that we would be able to have our daughter back.’
