A background check at last nailed Phillip and Nancy Garrido. With some female suspicion and a mother’s protective instincts.
Garrido with his two teenage daughters in tow approached Liza Campbell, Events Organiser, University of California, Berkeley, about staging an event at the campus. She became suspicious and carried out a Background Check on him. His record showed him to be on parole for a rape conviction and to be a registered sex offender.
After asking Garrido to return the next day for a further meeting Liza contacted Police Officer, Alison Jacobs, and asked Ally to sit in with her and Garrido at this following meeting.
Alison Jacobs’ motherly feelings showed her something was wrong with the girls and informed Garrido’sparole officer .
Back came the shocking news. She felt sick to her stomach. Garrido didn’t have any daughters!
Now Phillip and Nancy Garrido are looking at a combined total of 29 felony charges, including forcible abduction, rape and false imprisonment in connection with the kidnapping of Jaycee Lee Dugard in 1991.
Garrido remains in custody at the El Dorado County Jail in Placerville, California, as he and his wife Nancy Garrido await trial .
This is what a woman’s suspicion, a Background Check and a mother’s instincts can do. Hooray for background checks and suspicion. How great was that result!
Another story that supports carrying out a background check is the arrest this week of Johnny Wright after a quarter of a century of avoiding the Law.
In 1976 Johnny Wright was interviewed for the murder of Rebecca A Doisy but released because of insufficient evidence. In 1985 a warrant was issued for his arrest in connection with that murder when evidence against him was provided by a witness. Wright disappeared off the radar screen for 24 years. A few days ago Johnny Wright walked into the Police Station in Lawrenceville, Georgia and requested that a background check be conducted on himself. He was quickly arrested. The background check was part of the job requirement in the application for a driver’s job in Atlanta. Imagine the shock of all involved when the arrest warrant surfaced from way back in 1985! Johnny Wright now waits in custody
If only someone in the last 24 years had been suspicious enough of Wright to have carried out a Background Check on him, just like Liza Campbell did with Garrido. Perhaps Background Checks should form part of every job application?
