Background Check: Results in The Arrest Of Johnny Wright

Phillip and Nancy Garrido from Antioch, CA were apprehended recently as a direct consequence of a background check. In concert with a mixture of a Mum’s instincts and suspicions as well .

Phillip Garrido with his two teenage daughters in tow talked to Liza Campbell, Events Organiser, University of California, Berkeley, about staging 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 .

Ally’s motherly instincts showed her something just wasn’t right about the two teenage girls and rang Garrido’sparole officer .

Back came the shocking news. She felt sick to her stomach. Garrido didn’t have any daughters!
The horror that Jaycee Lee Dugard’s and her family have endured since 1991 has finally ended. In all a total of 29 felony charges where filed against the Garrido’s .

El Dorado County Jail in Placerville, CA, detains Phillip Garrido 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!

Now we learn of another great success story of a Background Check bringing someone to justice but this one doesn’t have the ingredients of a woman’s suspicions or a mother’s instincts. In fact this story is so unbelievable you just can’t make it up .

In 1976 Johnny Wright was interviewed for 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 went 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 surfaced 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?
