A background check in the end nailed Phillip and Nancy Garrido. With some female suspicion and a mother’s protective instincts.
Phillip Garrido with his two teenage daughters in tow approached Liza Campbell, Events Organiser, University of California, Berkeley, about staging an event at the campus. She 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 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 Campbell 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 daughters.
Back came the shocking news. She felt sick to her stomach. Garrido didn’t have any daughters!
The nightmare that Jaycee Lee Dugard’s and her family have endured since 1991 has finally ceased. In all a total of 29 felony charges where filed against the Garrido’s .
El Dorado County Jail in Placerville, CA, holds 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 depends simply on a Background Check bringing someone to justice .
Johnny Wright was arrested on 23rd September 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 get the Background Check carried out! When he returned the next day to get 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?
