The first Public photos 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.” Seeing the joy in her face brings tears to my eyes when I think of what she has been through. Then I feel inspired by how enduring the human spirit can be. That she can look so stunning is truly wonderful. She looks incredibly happy now she is back with her mother and family. A face that belies her age and what she has had to go through.
Jaycee Lee Dugard was kidnapped in 1991 when she was just 11 years old. Jaycee’s nightmare 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. Dugard’s stepfather, Carl Probyn, a few hundred yards away in the entrance to his house garage, watched helplessly as she was dragged into a gray sedan by a woman. Carl sprung 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 her daughters—who had never been to school or seen a Doctor—seemed to have spent much of their lives in the backgarden of Garrido’s home in Antioch, California.
It may come as a surprise 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 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.
A perimeter solid high wooden fence, overhanging trees and thick shrubbery hid the rear yard and garden from neighbors. Beyond this fence lay hidden a mess of tents and sheds.It was in this cluster of filthy tents and squalid shacks 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, 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 can’t let these wonderful photos to in any way reduce the nightmare 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.
