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

Carrying out a background check on Phillip Garrido ended 18 years of torment for Jaycee’s mother

Liza Campbell, special events manager at the University of California, Berkley, was spoken to by Garrido with his two girls in tow. Garrido needed to find out about using the University campus hall for putting on his event. 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 event he wanted to hold on the University campus. It was one o’clock but his two daughters were not at school. They both told Liza they were home schooled. Alarmingly catatonic. Liza just knew there was something about the two girls that wasn't right.

Liza just didn't like Garrido. Instincts told her that something just wasn't right about his daughters and so she ran a background check on him. The results came back and Liza found out that Garrido was a registered sex offender on parole for violent sex offences and kidnapping. Liza asked that Police Officer, Allison Jacobs, sit in on the meeting the following day.

Allison was on the lookout for anything dubious, particularly child 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 stunned Allison. 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!

Pause for a moment and think. How would you feel if you started with a suspicion that you couldn't quite put your finger on?? But rather than take no action you carried out a background check that not only solved a long standing FBI case but put someone in jail 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.
