Background Check: Produces The Arrest Of Johnny Wright

A background check in the end nailed Phillip and Nancy Garrido. Plus some female suspicion and a mother’s protective instincts.

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 was unable to conclude their arrangements 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 .

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 advised 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 are looking at 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!

Another story that promotes carrying out a background check is the arrest this week of Johnny Wright after twenty-five years of avoiding the Law.

Johnny Wright was arrested on 23rd September after trying to apply for a driving job in an Atlanta suburb. The job required a criminal background check for the job application. It was Wright who went to the Police Station in Lawrenceville, Georgia, to get the Background Check carried out! When Johnny Wright came back the next day to collect 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?
