Background Check: 1st Phillip And Nancy Garrido Now Wright

Only the other week we found how a combination of a woman’s suspicions, a background check and a mother’s instincts resulted in the arrest of Phillip Garrido from Antioch, California .

Phillip Garrido with his two daughters in tow discussed with Liza Campbell, Events Organiser, University of California, Berkeley about hiring a Hall at the University to hold a meeting there that he wanted to organise. Liza became suspicious and carried out a Background Check on him. She found that Phillip Garrido was on parole after a violent rape conviction and was on the registered sex offenders list.

After asking Phillip Garrido and his two daughters 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.

At this meeting Ally spoke separately to the two girls. Her motherly instincts told her something was wrong. She instructed Phillip Garrido’s parole officer about the meeting with Garrido and his two daughters .

Back came the shocking news. She felt sick to her stomach. Garrido didn’t have any daughters!

The torment that Jaycee Lee Dugard’s and her family have endured since 1991 has finally ceased. In all a total of 29 felony charges where filed against the Garrido’s .

At the El Dorado County Superior Court in Placerville, California, Superior Court Judge Douglas Phimister set bail for Phillip Garrido at 30 million dollars while he awaits 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!

Now we learn of another great success story of a Background Check bringing someone to justice but this one doesn’t have the ingredients of a woman’s suspicions or a mother’s instincts. This crazy story is so amazing you just can’t make it up .

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. Last week Johnny Wright went into the Police Station in Lawrenceville, Georgia and asked that a background check be carried out on himself. He was promptly 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 showed up from way back in 1985! Johnny Wright now sits 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?
