Background Check:stuck Phillip Garrido in custody

A Background Check on Phillip Garrido ultimately lead to Jaycee Lee Dugard being set free from eighteen years of captivity and her two daughters gaining 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 occurred concerning Garrido using a hall at the University for one of his events. She had another commitment, so she asked him to return the following day.

When discussing his function Garrido was excited and passionate . It was one o’clock but the girls 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. Liza’s instincts were on red alert. She had an uneasy feeling something was wrong.

Liza just didn’t feel right about Garrido. Instincts told her that something just wasn’t right about his daughters and so she carried out a background check on Garrido. This check disclosed 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 this second meeting Jacobs began to encourage the girls in conversation, observing any signs of abuse. Gradually Jacobs motherly protectiveness took over. Jacobs knew something was wrong. She was worried for these little girls. She phoned Garrido’s parole officer and told him of the meeting and of the two daughters that Garrido had with him. Back came the appalling news. “Garrido doesn’t have any daughters!”

Allison’s heart sank down to her stomach!

Pause for a moment and think. What if you don’t know why but you just had a bad feeling about someone? But your concerns lead you to conduct a background check that not only ended 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.
