JAYCEE LEE DUGARD: A HAPPY SMILE REASSURES US ALL
January 2nd, 2010The 1st Public photos of Jaycee Lee Dugard are shown 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 suffered. Then I feel inspired by how enduring the human spirit can be. That Jaycee can look so amazing is truly wonderful. She looked radiantly happy, healthy, with a terrific broad smile and wavy long brown hair over her shoulders.
Jaycee Lee Dugard was kidnapped in 1991 when she was just 11 years old. An ordinary, normal short walk from her house in South Lake Tahoe, CA to the school bus stop, within sight of the house, ended with Jaycee being abducted. Jaycee’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 fervent efforts to catch up with the gray sedan on his bicycle were useless.
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. The yard at the back of Garrido’s home near Antioch, CA, is were Jaycee and her girls lived, never attending school in all those years or ever seeing a Doctor.
This house in Antioch, CA, where Jaycee and her two daughters were kept prisoner in the backyard is actually in the name of Phillip Garrido’s mother. She lived there with Phillip and Nancy Garrido, Jaycee and Jaycee’s two daughters. It feels as if the authorities are keeping very quiet about her involvement. Possibly dismissing it on the grounds of ill health and being elderly. She hasn’t always been ill or elderly. What was her involvement in this horrendous crime over 18 years?
A perimeter solid high wooden fence, overhanging trees and dense shrubbery hid the backyard and garden from neighbors. Behind this fence lay hidden a cluster of tents and sheds.It was in this secluded area of unclean canvas tents, tarpaulin, wooden shacks and refuse 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 abduction in 1991, including 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 mustn’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.
