Background Check: Results in The Arrest Of Johnny Wright

Phillip Garrido and Nancy Garrido from Antioch, CA were arrested recently as a direct result of a background check. Together 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 University. 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 join her the next day at a meeting with Garrido and his two daughters .

At this meeting Ally spoke separately to Garrido’s two daughters. Her motherly instincts kicked in, something was wrong. Ally instructed 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!
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.

Garrido is held in custody at the El Dorado County Jail in Placerville, California, as he and his wife Nancy Garrido await 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!

This next story doesn’t involve a woman’s suspicions or a mother’s instincts. It depends purely on a Background Check bringing someone to justice .

You couldn’t invent this. Johnny Wright walks into the Police Station in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and requested a background check be carried out on him. This was 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 in custody. An arrest warrant from 1985 had surfaced in connection with the second-degree murder of Rebecca A Doisy from 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?
