Background Check: Produces The Arrest Of Johnny Wright

Only the other week we found how a combination of a woman’s suspicions, a background check and a mother’s instincts resulted in the detention of Phillip Garrido from Antioch, California .

Phillip Garrido with his two teenage daughters in tow approached Liza Campbell, Events Organiser, University of California, Berkeley, about holding an event at the campus. Liza Campbell became suspicious and carried out a Background Check on him. His record showed him to be on parole for a rape conviction and to be a registered sex offender.

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

Alison Jacobs’ motherly feelings 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!

The nightmare that Jaycee Lee Dugard’s and her family have suffered since 1991 has finally finished. In all a total of 29 felony charges where filed against the Garrido’s .

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!

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 .

You couldn’t invent this. Johnny Wright strode into the Police Station in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and requested a background check be carried out on him. This formed part of a job application for a driver’s job in Atlanta. He came back 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?
