Just a while ago we heard 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 .
Garrido with his two daughters in tow spoke to Liza Campbell, Events Organiser, University of California, Berkeley about hiring a Hall at the University to hold a meeting there that he wanted to organise. Liza became suspicious and carried out a Background Check on him. She found that Phillip Garrido was on parole after a serious sex conviction and was on the registered sex offenders list.
Liza was unable to conclude their meeting 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 sit in with her at the following meeting the next day .
During this meeting between Liza, Ally, Garrido and his two daughters, Ally’s motherly instincts kicked in and told her that something just wasn't right with the two girls. After the meeting Ally told Garrido's parole officer of the meeting and of his two teenage 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.
El Dorado County Jail in Placerville, CA, houses 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!
The next story doesn't involve a woman’s suspicions or a mother’s instincts. It rests simply on a Background Check bringing someone to justice .
Johnny Wright was detained on 23rd September after attempting 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 Johnny Wright returned the following day to collect 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?
