Background Check: Nabs Another One! Phillip And Nancy Garrido And Now Wright

Phillip Garrido and Nancy Garrido from Antioch, California were arrested recently as a direct result of a background check. In conjunction with a mixture of a Mum’s instincts and suspicions as well .

Garrido with his two daughters in tow spoke to 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 Campbell then 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 teenage daughters. 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!

In the case of the kidnapping 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.

Garrido stays 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!

The next story doesn’t involve a woman’s suspicions or a mother’s instincts. It rests purely on a Background Check bringing someone to justice .

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. Last week Johnny Wright went into the Police Station in Lawrenceville, Georgia and asked that a background check be carried out on himself. He was quickly 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 involved when the arrest warrant appeared 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?
