Jaycee Lee Dugard Update

This Friday, Phillip Garrido and wife Nancy were finally being arrested for Jaycee Lee Dugard’s kidnapping 18 years ago. They appeared in court and denied the 29 charges against them relating to the kidnapping.

Back in 1991, Carl Probyn watched helplessly as Dugard, who was then 11 years old, was taken from her home in South Lake Tahoe. Jaycee Dugard is now 29 and had been held prisoner by convicted rapist Garrido and kept secretly in a backyard compound in East San Francisco. This is where she gave birth to two of his children.

Jacyee’s horrible ordeal finally came to an end after almost two decades when authorities discovered her identity at the University of California. Garrido was on this campus handing out religious pamphlets. Two workers became suspicious of him as soon as they saw him with his two daughters. His two girls did look a lot like him but they did not act or dress well.

After being freed, Dugard had a hard time being out in public with her daughters and at one point had to go home because the girls were not used to being around people. It was said that Dugard looked good; almost as good as she looked years before. Dugard’s girls were seen as also being good and running around playing together.
