Background Check: Snatches Another One! Garrido And Now Wright

A background check at last nailed Phillip and Nancy Garrido. Plus some astute suspicion and a mother’s protective instincts.

First Liza Campbell, Events Organiser,University of California, Berkeley, after talking to Phillip Garrido with his two daughters, became suspicious and carried out a Background Check on him which revealed he was on parole after a particularly nasty sexual conviction and that he was a registered sex offender .

Liza Campbell then asked Police Officer, Ally Jacobs, to join her the next day at a meeting with Garrido and his two daughters .

Ally’s motherly instincts told her something just wasn’t right about the girls and told Garrido’sparole officer .

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, California, 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!

Our next story doesn’t include a woman’s suspicions or a mother’s instincts. It depends simply on a Background Check bringing someone to justice .

Johnny Wright was apprehended on 23rd September after attempting to apply for a driving job in an Atlanta suburb. The position required a criminal 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 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?
