EXCLUSIVE: Parents of Allegedly Kidnapped Bride Speak Out on 'GMA'

Jan. 7, 2007 — -- A husband and wife who are accused of kidnapping their daughter the day before her wedding expressed regret for their actions in an exclusive interview with "Good Morning America" anchor Diane Sawyer.

Julianna Myers testified that her parents, Lemuel and Julia Redd, kidnapped her on the eve of her wedding, bringing her 240 miles away from her Provo, Utah, home to Grand Junction, Colo., because they thought their daughter's fiancé was "evil, wicked and abusive" for not giving Julianna a diamond ring for their engagement.

"No, I wouldn't do it again," Lemuel Redd told Sawyer when asked how he would handle the situation if he could go back in time.

He added that in hindsight it was, in fact, the "wrong thing" to do.

As Myers and her parents made their way towards Grand Junction, they stopped at a gas station in Salina, Utah, where Julianna used the restroom.

When she was done, according to her testimony in a December hearing, she told her parents, "I'm not going back in the van."

"They grabbed my wrists and put me back against the wall and were shouting all these doctrines at me," she testified. "They told me, 'You're not worthy, you're wicked.'"

The next day, on the scheduled wedding date, the Redds drove their daughter back to Provo after she promised not to contact her fiancé.

Meanwhile, Perry Myers, who had called the police the night before when Julianna failed to attend a dinner, was waiting at her condo.

The Myerses were married Aug. 8, 2006, three days later than planned.

At the time, the Redds did not see anything wrong with the van ride they took with their 21-year-old daughter.

Now, five months later, they are seeing things a bit differently.

The Redds and their lawyer, Rhome Zabriskie, sat down with Diane Sawyer for their first interview.

"I'm the mother," Julia told Sawyer. "I wanted to share this, Julianna's very important moment, with her. If that is selfish, I am so sorry. But she didn't even seem to care."

Over the past several months, as the Redds await their trial, stories have changed. Lawyers have been hired and fired, and Julia has had her say in court -- and her story well-reported throughout the media. Until this interview, the Redds had remained silent.
