Background Check: Produces The Arrest Of Johnny Wright

Just a while ago we found how a combination of a woman’s suspicions, a background check and a mother’s instincts resulted in the apprehension of Phillip Garrido from Antioch, California .

Garrido with his two teenage daughters in tow talked to Liza Campbell, Events Organiser, University of California, Berkeley, about holding an event at the campus. Liza 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 asked Police Officer, Alison Jacobs, to be with her the next day at a meeting with Garrido and his two daughters .

At this meeting Alison Jacobs spoke separately to the two children. Her motherly instincts kicked in, something was strange about the girls. Alison informed Phillip Garrido’s parole officer about the meeting with Garrido and 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 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!

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

You couldn’t make this up. Johnny Wright strode 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 behind bars. An arrest warrant from 1985 had come to light 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?
