Background Check: Catches Another One! Garrido And Now Johnny Wright

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

Garrido with his two daughters in tow discussed with Liza Campbell, Events Organiser, University of California, Berkeley about hiring the facilities 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, Ally Jacobs, and asked Ally to sit in with her and Garrido at this following meeting.

Alison Jacobs’ motherly instincts showed her something just wasn’t right about the girls and informed Garrido’sparole officer .

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

Now Phillip and Nancy Garrido are looking at a combined total of 29 felony charges, involving forcible abduction, rape and false imprisonment in connection with the kidnapping of Jaycee Lee Dugard in 1991.

Garrido is held in custody at the El Dorado County Jail in Placerville, California, as he and his wife Nancy Garrido await 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 carrying out a background check is the arrest this week of Johnny Wright after a quarter of a century of avoiding the Law.

In 1976 Johnny Wright was suspected of 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. A few days ago Johnny Wright walked into the Police Station in Lawrenceville, Georgia and requested 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 concerned 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?
