Jaycee Lee Dugard
Jaycee Lee Dugard who was abducted in June 1991 lived eighteen years of her life locked up by a psychotic couple.
Nancy Garrido and her husband Philip Garrido were given a sentence of over 400 years for their criminal behavior and for kidnapping Jaycee Lee Dugard for eighteen years.
Last night, I read a report about a girl from California, which was very sad and disturbing. I discussed it with my sister and felt it should be written down here.
On June 10, 1991, eleven year old Jaycee Lee Dugard was abducted by a psychotic couple as she was walking towards her school bus. Her step father helplessly saw a car with a man and woman inside turned around and somebody grabbed Jaycee.
Ironically, her family had moved to South Lake Tahoe, California from an inner city suburb to escape the rising crime rates but fate had something quite terrible in store for the family.
Jaycee went missing from that day but in August 2009 she returned back to the police as a grown up woman. Her description and details matched that of missing Jaycee and the DNA test confirmed it was really her.
Now, Jaycee is a 31 year old woman. She has received justice as the court has ordered the psychotic couple - Philip Garrido and his wife Nancy a harsh sentence of 431 years in prison. This means, the mad couple will spend the rest of their life behind the bars. They abducted Jaycee in 1991 and kept her in a secret backyard compound in their home for 18 years. Jaycee was raped by Garrido repeatedly and gave birth to two daughters as a result of the rape. The daughters are now 13 and 16 years.
It is said, Jaycee will write a book in which she will tell the world about her sufferings and torturous 18 years that ruined her life. She didn't visit the court also because she didn't want to spend another minute in Garrido's presence. Obviously, she cannot forgive or forget what happened to her. But, we can hope and pray that now she will live a better life.
It is so painful to read that somebody went through so much of torture - mental and physical for so many years. Sadly, she even had to give birth to two daughters in those conditions. It is an unbearable thought - raising kids of the rapist but even those kids have done nothing wrong.
Most of us are so busy with her happy lives that we cannot even imagine some people have to suffer so much, all for nothing. In fact, most of us don't even have the courage to read or listen to these incidents.
It is true that the psychotic couple destroyed a good important part of Jaycee's life and also of her parents. Unfortunately, I had to share their ugly pictures also and we can absolutely see they look like shitty sick devils. Though, Jaycee was given justice but nothing can bring back those years that Garridos took away from her.
