Background Check: 1st Phillip And Nancy Garrido Now Johnny Wright

A background check finally nailed Phillip and Nancy Garrido. With some astute 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 holding an event at the University. Liza Campbell 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.

Because of this Liza asked Police Officer, Ally Jacobs, to be with her the next day at a meeting with Garrido and his two daughters .

During this meeting between Liza, Ally, Garrido and his two daughters, Ally’s motherly instincts kicked in and told her that something just wasn't right with the two girls. After the meeting Ally told Garrido's parole officer of the meeting and of his two daughters.

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

Now Phillip and Nancy Garrido face 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.

El Dorado County Jail in Placerville, California, houses Phillip Garrido 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!

Our next story doesn't involve a woman’s suspicions or a mother’s instincts. It depends simply on a Background Check bringing someone to justice .

Johnny Wright was apprehended on 23rd September after attempting to apply for a driving job in an Atlanta suburb. The position required a criminal background check for the job application. It was Wright who went to the Police Station in Lawrenceville, Georgia, to have the Background Check carried out! When Johnny Wright returned the next day to pick up and pay for the paperwork he was arrested on a warrant issued in Missouri in 1985 for second-degree murder committed way back in 1976!

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?
