Elizabeth Smart sent words of encouragement to Jayme Closs, just a day after authorities found the 13-year-old who was missing for nearly three months. Smart, a child safety activist who was abducted from her Salt Lake City home in 2002, called Jayme “brave, strong and powerful” in an Instagram post this week. “I hope we may all continue to support and embrace Jayme as she reclaims her life and comes to terms with the reality of her situation,” the 31-year-old wrote. “What a brave, strong, and powerful survivor!!! !”“No matter what may unfold in her story let’s all try to remember that this young woman has SURVIVED and whatever other details may surface the most important will still remain that she is alive,” she added.
