JAYCEE LEE DUGARD: FREEDOMS JOY CAPTURED FOR THE FIRST TIME

People Magazine has the 1st public and exclusive pictures of Jaycee Lee Dugard, 29 years. Jaycee said, “I’m so happy to be back with my family”, she told the magazine. "Nothing is more important than the unconditional love and support I have from them.” How incredible Jaycee looks. Providing hope to so many families with missing children and uplifting the rest of us. I am elated to see a photograph of Jaycee that is a testimony to how well she is doing now she is back with her mother and family.

Jaycee Lee Dugard was kidnapped in 1991 when she was just 11 years old. Jaycee’s horror started when she walked from her home in South Lake Tahoe, California, the short distance to the school bus stop. All within sight of her home. Standing in his garage entrance, Carl Probyn, Jaycee’s stepfather, watched her as she walked towards the school bus stop close by. He was shocked when he saw a gray sedan with two people inside pull up next to Jaycee. A woman got out and dragged Jaycee into the car before speeding off. Carl frantically jumped on his bicycle, pedaled furiously after the car but lost it.

Angel, 15, and Starlit, 11, are Jaycee's daughters, apparently fathered by Phillip Garrido, 58; a registered sex offender who police say raped her repeatedly over the years. Jaycee and girls—who had never been to school or seen a Doctor—seemed to have spent all of their lives in the backgarden of Garrido's home close to Antioch, CA.

It may come as a shock to many to learn that Phillip and Nancy Garrido actually resided with his ailing elderly mother in a house belonging to her. Why hasn't more been said about his mother and her involvement in Jaycee’s incarceration? It’s as if ailing and elderly automatically absolves her of any possible wrong doing. Was she ailing and elderly 18 years ago when Jaycee was first imprisoned in her backyard? Has she been ailing and elderly every day of those 18 years? Was she ailing and elderly 15 years ago when Phillip Garrido spent 5 months in prison and Nancy fed Jaycee alone? Was she ailing and elderly while Jaycee gave birth without any medical aid to two babies.

A perimeter solid high wooden fence, overhanging trees and thick shrubbery hid the backyard and garden from neighbors. Behind this fence lay hidden a mess of tents and sheds.It was in this hidden area of foul canvas tents, tarpaulin, wooden shacks and debris that Jaycee and her two daughters lived.

Phillip and Nancy Garrido now await trial facing a combined total of 29 felony charges in regard to Jaycee Lee Dugard's kidnapping in 1991, including rape and false imprisonment.

Jaycee and her two daughters are now living in seclusion with her mom, Terry Probyn, 50, and family. A family spokeswoman said Jaycee was riding horses, cooking meals and thinking of collaborating on a book.

We mustn't permit these wonderful pictures in any way reduce the torment that Jaycee and her family have sustained over the last eighteen years or in any way belittle the very challenging road to recovery that Jaycee will have to go through.

They do however give us all hope. The sort of hope that comes from seeing another human being putting on a heartwarming smile even after suffering 18 years of hell.
It is truly inspiring.

Lets all wish her well on her road to recovery.
