One of Elizabeth Smart’s accused kidnappers, Eileen Barzee  is expected to plead guilty Tuesday in Salt Lake City in the 2002 kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart, officials say.

The estranged wife of Brian David Mitchell, Barzee  is charged with kidnapping and coercion of a minor with intent to engage in sexual activity for allegedly taking Smart to California from Utah, the Salt Lake City Deseret News reported.

The plea deal was referenced in a filing Monday by U.S. District Court Judge Dale Kimball, who said “Wanda Barzee will be arraigned and is anticipated to enter into a guilty plea pursuant to an agreement with the United States.”

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for Utah declined to comment, as did other lawyers in the case. Elizabeth Smart’s father, Ed, also declined to comment at the request of federal prosecutors, but told Fox 13’s Ben Winslow: “We’re happy with what’s happening in the case.”

Barzee and Mitchell, were charged by the U.S. government in 2008.

On Nov. 30, Mitchell is to undergo a 10-day competency hearing on his federal charges.

Elizabeth Smart was abducted from her Salt Lake City, Utah, bedroom at the age of 14 June 5, 2002.  She was found nine months later on March 12, 2003, in Sandy, Utah, about 18 miles from her home, in the company of Brian David Mitchell and Wanda Ileen Barzee,
