Background Check: Results in The Arrest Of Johnny Wright

Phillip Garrido and Nancy Garrido from Antioch, California were detained recently as a direct result of a background check. In conjunction 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 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 was unable to conclude their discussion 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 accompany her at the following meeting the next day .

Alison Jacobs’ motherly feelings told her something was wrong with the two teenage girls and told Garrido’sparole officer .

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, involving 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!

Our second story that supports doing a background check is the arrest this week of Johnny Wright after twenty-five years of avoiding the Law.

Johnny Wright was arrested last week after trying to apply for a driving job in an Atlanta suburb. The position required a routine background check for the job application. It was Wright who went to the Police Station in Lawrenceville, Georgia, to have the Background Check carried out! When he came back the next day to pick up and pay for 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?
