Background Check:brought Garrido’s reign of terror to an end

Once Phillip Garrido had a background check carried out on him three women were released from their hell

Liza Campbell, special events manager at the University of California, Berkley, was accosted by Garrido with his two girls in tow. A talk took place regarding Garrido hiring a hall at the University for one of his events. She had another commitment, so she asked him to return the following day.

Liza was struck by the passion that Garrido spoke with when he discussed the function he wanted to stage on the University campus. It was one o’clock but Garrido’s two children were not at school. Garrido’s two children said they were home schooled. Both girls should signs of emotional immaturity, disconnected from the world, and a stunted development. Something just wasn’t right. Liza knew it. Her motherly instincts had kicked in.

Luckily Liza responded to her instincts that something wasn’t right and ran a background check on Phillip Garrido. The report came back and Liza discovered that Garrido was a registered sex offender on parole for violent sex offences and kidnapping. At Liza’s request Police Officer ,Allison Jacobs, sat in on the next meeting between Liza and Phillip Garrido.

At the next meeting Jacobs began to involve the girls in a chat, checking for any signs of abuse. The hairs on her neck stood up as her motherly instincts came to the fore. Jacobs knew something was wrong. She was worried for these little girls. The reply appalled Jacobs. She telephoned Garrido’s parole officer after the meeting and told him of Garrido’s two daughters . No one could be prepared for the appalling reply. “Garrido doesn’t have any daughters!”

Allison’s heart sank down to her stomach!

Lets all pause for a moment and consider. How would you feel if you started with a suspicion that you couldn’t quite fathom out?? But rather than take no action you ran a background check that not only cracked a long standing FBI case but put someone in prison that needed to be there and gave others their long deserved freedom.

We should all be so proud and grateful to Liza and Allison for acting on those protective motherly feelings.
