Recently we heard how a combination of a woman’s suspicions, a background check and a mother’s instincts resulted in the apprehension of Phillip Garrido from Antioch, California .
Phillip Garrido with his two daughters in tow approached Liza Campbell, Events Organiser, University of California, Berkeley, about holding an event at the University. Liza Campbell became suspicious and carried out a Background Check on him. His record showed him to be on parole for a rape conviction and to be a registered sex offender.
After asking Phillip Garrido and his two daughters to return the next day for a further meeting Liza contacted Police Officer, Ally Jacobs, and asked Ally to sit in with her and Garrido at this following meeting.
Ally’s motherly feelings told her something just wasn’t right about the two teenage girls and told Garrido’sparole officer .
Back came the shocking news. She felt sick to her stomach. Garrido didn’t have any daughters!
Now Phillip and Nancy Garrido face a combined total of 29 felony charges, involving forcible abduction, rape and false imprisonment in connection with the kidnapping of Jaycee Lee Dugard in 1991.
At the El Dorado County Superior Court in Placerville, California, Superior Court Judge Douglas Phimister set bail for Phillip Garrido at 30 million dollars while he awaits trial.
This is what a woman’s suspicion, a Background Check and a mother’s instincts can do. Hooray for background checks and suspicion. How great was that result!
Now we read of one more great success story of a Background Check bringing someone to justice but this one doesn’t have the ingredients of a woman’s suspicions or a mother’s instincts. This crazy story is so incredulous you just can’t make it up .
Johnny Wright was detained last week after trying to apply for a driving job in an Atlanta suburb. The job required a criminal background check as part of the job application. It was Wright who went to the Police Station in Lawrenceville, Georgia, to have the Background Check carried out! When he came back the next day to collect the paperwork he was arrested on a warrant issued in Missouri in 1985 for second-degree murder committed way back in 1976!
If only someone in the last 24 years had been suspicious enough of Wright to have carried out a Background Check on him, just like Liza Campbell did with Garrido. Perhaps Background Checks should form part of every job application?
