JAYCEE LEE DUGARD: A HAPPY SMILE REASSURES US ALL

The first Public photos of Jaycee Lee Dugard are printed by People Magazine. 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 coping 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 begun 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. Positioned in his garage entrance, Carl Probyn, Jaycee’s stepfather, watched Jaycee as she walked towards the school bus stop nearby. He was stunned when he saw a gray sedan with two people in drive up next to Jaycee. A woman got out and hauled Jaycee into the car before speeding off. Carl’s frenzied efforts to catch up with the gray sedan on his bike were fruitless.

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—apparently spent most of their lives in the backyard and garden of Garrido’s home in Antioch, CA.

This house in Antioch, CA, where Jaycee and her two daughters were kept prisoner in the backyard is actually in the name of Phillip Garrido’s mother. She lived there with Phillip and Nancy Garrido, Jaycee and Jaycee’s two daughters. It feels as if the authorities are keeping very quiet about her involvement. Possibly dismissing it on the grounds of ill health and being elderly. She hasn’t always been ill or elderly. What was her involvement in this horrendous crime over 18 years?

Overhanging Mimosa trees, compact shrubbery and a high planked fence hid Jaycee’s, Angel’s and Starlit’s decrepit world of tents and shacks from the outside world .It was in this cluster of filthy tents and squalid shacks that Jaycee and her two daughters lived.

Now Phillip and Nancy Garrido face a combined total of 29 felony charges, including forcible abduction, rape and false imprisonment in connection with the kidnapping of Jaycee Lee Dugard in 1991. Garrido remains in custody at the El Dorado County Jail in Placerville, California, as he and his wife Nancy Garrido await trial.

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 shouldn’t allow these wonderful images to in any way reduce the nightmare that Jaycee and her family have sustained over the last 18 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.
