Phillip and Nancy Garrido from Antioch, CA were apprehended recently as a direct result of a background check. In conjunction with a mixture of a Mum’s instincts and suspicions as well .
Phillip Garrido with his two teenage daughters in tow talked to 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.
Liza was unable to conclude their discussion that day because of a prior appointment and so asked Garrido to return the following day. Meanwhile with the results back from the background check Liza Campbell asked Ally Jacobs, Police Officer, to accompany her at the following meeting the next day .
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 appraised Garrido’s parole officer of the meeting and of Garrido’s 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.
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!
Our second story that promotes doing a background check is the arrest this week of Johnny Wright after 25 years of avoiding the Law.
Johnny Wright was apprehended recently after attempting to apply for a driving job in an Atlanta suburb. The position required a routine 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 Wright came back the next day to get 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?
