When Phillip Garrido had a background check carried out on him three women gained their freedom
Liza Campbell, special events manager at the University of California, Berkley, was approached by Garrido with his two girls in tow. A discussion took place concerning Garrido using a hall at the University for one of his functions. 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 hold on the University campus. The girls were of school age but not at school. The girls claimed that both parents educated them at home. Alarmingly catatonic. Liza just knew there was something about his children that wasn't OK.
Liza didn't just not bother. Thinking, "Oh that is someone else’s job!" She ran a background check in response to those suspect feelings. The results came back and Liza discovered that Garrido was a registered sex offender on parole for violent sex offences and kidnapping. Liza then contacted Allison Jacobs, Police Officer, explained the strangeness of the meeting with Garrido, and requested Allison to sit in on the meeting that she had arranged for tomorrow.
Jacobs was on the lookout for anything suspicious, particularly child abuse. It wasn't Allisons Police instincts as much as her motherly instincts that made her take notice. Jacobs knew something was wrong. Jacobs was worried for these little girls. The reply appalled her. She phoned Garrido's parole officer after the meeting and told him of Garrido's two daughters . No one could be prepared for the stunning 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 your intuition told you that something wasn't right about a person? But your concerns lead you to do a background check that not only solved an 18 year old FBI case but gave a mother and her two daughters a taste of freedom for the very first time.
We should all be so proud and grateful to Liza and Allison for acting on those protective motherly feelings.
