Jaycee Lee Dugard is pictured for the first time in 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 amazing Jaycee looks. Conveying hope to so many families with missing children and inspiring 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 commenced 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 her as she walked towards the school bus stop close by. He was dumbfounded when he saw a gray sedan with two people in pull up next to Jaycee. A woman got out and hauled Jaycee into the car before speeding off. Carl’s fervent efforts to chase after the gray sedan on his bicycle 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 her daughters—who had never been to school or seen a Doctor—seemed to have spent all of their lives in the half-acre backyard of Garrido’s home in Antioch, CA.
It may come as a surprise to many to learn that Phillip and Nancy Garrido actually lived with his ailing elderly mother in a house owned by her. Why hasn’t more been said about her and her involvement in Jaycee’s imprisonment? 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.
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 windowless shacks that Jaycee and her two daughters lived.
At this moment 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 must not let these photos give us permission to dismiss what Jaycee has had to suffer all these years or forget even for a moment that experiences like these take years of therapy to even begin to return to some sort of normality.
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.
