Background Check: Arrests Another One! Phillip Garrido And Now Wright

A background check finally nailed Phillip and Nancy Garrido. With some astute suspicion and a mother’s protective instincts.

First Liza Campbell, Events Organiser,University of California, Berkeley, after seeing Garrido with his two daughters, became suspicious and carried out a Background Check on him which showed he was on parole after a violent rape conviction and that he was a registered sex offender .

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

Alison Jacobs’ motherly instincts showed her something just wasn't right about the two teenage 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 include a woman’s suspicions or a mother’s instincts. It depends simply on a Background Check bringing someone to justice .

You couldn't make this up. Johnny Wright walks into the Police Station in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and applied for a background check be carried out on him. This formed part of a job application for a driver’s job in Atlanta. He popped in the next day to pay the 15 dollars and collect the paperwork but found himself under arrest. An arrest warrant from 1985 had surfaced in connection with the second-degree murder of Rebecca A Doisy 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?
