Jaycee Lee Dugard Kidnapping

Jaycee Lee Dugard, who was snatched from a South Lake Tahoe (Nevada) bus stop as an 11-year-old child in 1991, turned up at a California police station after 18 mysterious years. A convicted sex offender, Phillip Garrido and his wife were arrested in the kidnapping. … Witnesses reported that on 10 June 1991, a car pulled sharply in front of Jaycee. Arms reached out and dragged her inside. Her stepfather watched in horror from the family garage a third of a mile away and grabbed a bicycle to give chase. Too late. … Garrido was on parole after serving a mere 11 years in prison for a 1976 kidnapping and extremely brutal rape of a woman who had agreed to give him a ride when he approached her in a parking lot. Garrido told the woman his car had broken down and asked her for a ride.

ANSWERS:
Jaycee Lee Dugard likely never would have been kidnapped had she known the simple lessons in Children’s Safety Outdoors and Child Safety - Kidnap Escape.

Garrido’s 1976 victim never would have fallen for his hard-luck story had she known the simple lessons in Outdoor Safety - Friendly Predators nor would she ever have picked him up as a hitchhiker had she known the lessons in Car Security - Avoiding Carjacking.

Always remember my favorite motto – the basis of all the lessons on this website: “GAMBLE IN VEGAS – NOT IN YOUR LIFE.”

P.S. Why we can’t trust our government to keep monsters from walking among us:
* Garrido was sentenced to 50 years on federal kidnapping charges but was sent to Nevada after only 11 years to serve a state sentence of five years to life for sexual assault. Because time in the federal prison counted as time served, he was eligible for parole as soon as he arrived in Nevada in 1988.
* On August 1, 1988, the Nevada Parole Board released Garrido. He moved to California.
* He remained on federal parole until 1988 but the supervision fell to the California Department of Parole because he resided in that state.
* Federal records show Garrido violated his federal parole in 1993, but Nevada officials were not informed.

Had the officials not been such blithering idiots, Garrido never could have kidnapped Jaycee Lee Dugard that day. He’d have been in prison until 2026.
