Jaycee was kidnapped when she was walking to a bus stop alone in the morning. The bus stop was only 150 yards away from her home. She has two kids and lived in a tent in the kidnappers backyard! And the kidnapper was on parole and monitored over the 18 years for a sexual assault charge, but the police didn’t find out till now!?! This just blows my mind. What do y’all think?
Why or why not?
August 28, 2009: “Phillip Garrido and his wife, Nancy, will face 29 felony counts after being accused of kidnapping Jaycee Lee Dugard when she was 11 and keeping her in their backyard since 1991…
Dugard lived for 18 years in a shed and other outbuildings behind her abductor’s house, where she gave birth to two girls whom he fathered; the girls are now 11 and 15, police said…”http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/08/28/cali…
January 15, 2007: “O’REILLY: I’m not buying this. If you’re 11 years old or 12 years old, 13, and you have a strong bond with your family, OK, even if the guy threatens you, this and that, you’re riding your bike around, you got friends. The kid didn’t go to school. There’s all kinds of stuff. If you can get away, you get away. All right? If you’re 11.

O’REILLY: This is what I believe happened in the Hearst case and in this case. The situation that Hearst found herself in was exciting. She had a boring life. She was a child of privilege. All of a sudden, she’s in with a bunch of charismatic thugs, and she enjoyed it. The situation here for this kid looks to me to be a lot more fun than what he had under his old parents. He didn’t have to go to school. He could run around and do whatever he wanted…”http://mediamatters.org/research/2007011…
When Jaycee Lee Dugard escaped from her kidnappers, folks were both amazed and overjoyed. From the looks of search, the fascination hasn’t subsided. Lookups on Ms. Dugard, who lived like a prisoner in a California backyard nearly two decades before breaking out, continue to be among the most popular on the Web.
Folks who conduct those searches can find news stories and information on her accused kidnappers. They can also find aerial shots of the backyard in Antioch, California, where Ms. Dugard was held and raised her two daughters, now 11 and 15. But despite massive interest, curious searchers can’t find any photos of the two daughters or of Ms. Dugard today. The reason: Near as we can tell, said photos don’t exist online.
Of course, the lack of pictures may be no accident. Law enforcement wants to protect the privacy of the three females who suffered so much. And, perhaps sometime in the near future, people will get to see Ms. Dugard, who bravely endured what must have been the most terrifying conditions.
In the meantime, you can help find other kidnapping victims by donating to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/92964?fp=1
