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

A Background Check on Phillip Garrido ultimately lead to Jaycee Lee Dugard being released from eighteen years of incarceration and her two daughters gaining their freedom

Liza Campbell, special events manager at the University of California, Berkley, was accosted by Garrido with his two girls in tow. Garrido needed to find out about using the University campus facilities for putting on his activity. She had another commitment, so she asked him to return the following day.

When discussing his event Garrido was excited and passionate . It was one o’clock but Garrido’s two children were not at school. The girls claimed that both parents taught them at home. 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 protectiveness had kicked in.

By chance Liza responded to her feelings that something wasn’t right and did a background check on Phillip Garrido. This check declared that Garrido was on parole following a rape conviction and was a registered sex offender. Liza requested that Police Officer, Allison Jacobs, sit in on the meeting the next day.

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

Allison’s heart sank down to her stomach!

Just let us all take a deep breath and ponder this . How would you feel if your instincts told you that something wasn’t right about a person? But rather than take no action you carried out a background check that not only cleared up a long standing FBI case but put someone behind bars 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.
