We are so grateful to everyone in law enforcement who worked on this.

[Mitchell, 49, was] a fairly famous transient down in Salt Lake, ... Emmanuel.

He saved lives and was a great doctor to thousands of people but saved more untold lives through his programs in mammography and computer research to help save people through early detection.

He just threatened [the sister]. Apparently he told her he would kill her if she said anything. She was paralyzed and in shock for a couple of hours until she went in and talked with her dad. Then, her dad couldn't believe it either. He cased the house and then realized it was true.

I believe that this person is not a bad person at all. Our family has felt strongly for a while -- and there's been some comfort here for awhile -- that this is just somebody who actually likes Elizabeth.

Somehow we have a lot of hope still. We're praying for a miracle, and we are asking for a miracle, and we believe that there is a miracle there.
