Phillip and Nancy Garrido from Antioch, California were detained recently as a direct consequence of a background check. In concert with a mixture of a Mum’s instincts and suspicions as well .
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 vicious rape conviction and was on the registered sex offenders list.
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 asked Ally Jacobs, Police Officer, to sit in with her at the following meeting the next day .
Ally’s motherly instincts showed her something was wrong with the girls and rang Garrido's parole officer .
Back came the shocking news. She felt sick to her stomach. Garrido didn't have any daughters!
In relation to the abduction of Jaycee Lee Dugard from near her home in South Lake Tahoe, California, in 1991, the Garrido's now faced a combined total of 29 felony charges.
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 next story doesn't involve a woman’s suspicions or a mother’s instincts. It rests simply on a Background Check bringing someone to justice .
Johnny Wright was detained last week after trying to apply for a driving job in an Atlanta suburb. The job 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 he came back 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?
