The first Public photographs of Jaycee Lee Dugard are published 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 stunning Jaycee looks. Giving hope to so many families with missing children and encouraging the rest of us. I am thrilled 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. Her nightmare 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. Dugard’s stepfather, Carl Probyn, a few hundred yards away in the entrance to his house garage, watched helplessly as she was hauled into a gray sedan by a woman. Carl’s frenzied efforts to catch up with 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. Phillip Garrido’s home was on the edge of Antioch, CA. It was in the backyard and garden that Jaycee and her two daughters were housed. They had never been to school or seen a Doctor.
It may come as a shock to many to learn that Phillip and Nancy Garrido actually lived with his ailing elderly mother in a house belonging to her. Why hasn’t more been said about her 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 dense shrubbery hid the rear yard and garden from neighbors. Beyond this fence lay hidden an array of tents and sheds.It was in this cluster of cruddy tents and windowless shacks that Jaycee and her two daughters lived.
Phillip and Nancy Garrido now await trial facing a combined total of 29 felony charges relating to Jaycee Lee Dugard’s kidnapping in 1991, and includes 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 should not let these images give us permission to dismiss what Jaycee has had to endure 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.
