I can't imagine the next few years being very easy for this family.
Of course, there's always the chance that she might make it out of this fairly well. It's not very likely, but it's a possibility.

I must respectfully disagree with you. I remember a child abduction case in NYC from my childhood. Twenty years later the parents are still looking for answers. Nothing can be worse than not knowing what happened to your own child.
When there is life, there is hope. It won't be easy, but there will be many qualified doctors out there who can assist Elizabeth and the entire Smart family recover from this trauma. Hopefully, they will be able to learn how to cope with this and move on to live normal, healthy lives. It will take a lot of work.
