She continues, “If I could’ve slept for nine months, I would’ve. That’s where I could go to almost and not feel the pain, not feel the despair, not feel everything that was happening to me. There was a point that I stopped crying. It’s not just because I didn’t feel pain anymore, not because I didn’t feel sorrow. It was just to keep going. I mean, it just was to survive, to live.”

When questioned about why she went along with the kidnapping, rape, and torture of Elizabeth, Barzee had said that Mitchell was manipulating her. She claims that Mitchell told her that, “he had a revelation from God,” and she wanted to follow God’s revelations. She claims though that personally, she knew that what she was doing was wrong.
