From Reuters:

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A woman who was kidnapped in 1991 at the age of 11 turned up at a California police station on Wednesday, authorities said, and a couple accused of abducting her has reportedly been arrested.


Jaycee Dugard had been missing since she was abducted near her home in South Lake Tahoe on June 10, 1991 by two people in a gray sedan.


Strange news.

Strange indeed.

May God solve her affairs.

Can you imagine trying to put your life back together after surviving 18 years of what they put her through?

From the article:

Carl Probyn, the girl's stepfather, told television that "we both cried for about 10 minutes" after he and her mother were alerted by authorities that she had been found alive

I dont know how long the step dad knew the girl, but for the mother to cry for ten minutes....only ten minutes?

I'm glad she has turned up. I wonder why this has happened now? Could it be because they had no way of keeping an 18year old contained any longer? Or maybe she became too much of a liability.

Will be interesting to see if she hates them and whether she will find her mother really happy to see her!

Wow, I wonder how she feels now that she's back and safe.

I would think this traumatic event no matter how many years would do much damage to one psychologically. She's probably already suffering from PTSD symptoms and those can be painful. At least she's alive and well though. Hope she can get her life back together.

Was she 18 years in captivity, meaning she's 29 years old now, or that she's now 18?

She was 18 years in captivity and has two children by her captor -- two girls ages 11 and 15.

What's really astonishing is that this guy was a convicted kidnaper and rapist before he kidnapped this girl, was out on parole, was subject to supervision by the authorities, was visited several times a month by parole officers, was known by his neighbors to be a sex offender (the neighborhood kids called him "Creepy Phil"), and -- get this -- had been reported to the police in 2006 by a neighbor's girlfriend, who complained that he had children living in tents in his yard, and he had the car used in the kidnapping (which had been described by the victim's stepfather) parked in his yard, and yet the authorities never managed to figure out that anything was up.

The investigating officer in 2006 wasn't told that he was a convicted kidnapper and rapist, and didn't bother to enter the house or check the back yard. His parole officer wasn't informed of the report.

The system failed the victim at every turn.

The first time around, Garrido was sentenced to 50 years for kidnapping and 5 to life for sexual assault. He served 10-1/2 years. I hope they put him and his wife away for good this time.

I am trying to imagine how her family feel having her back , a grown woman and a total stranger, it is unfathomable.

There`s something not quite right about this whole abduction story.

I`m thinking there are going to be a few surprises when all is said and done.

I`d like to know more about the situation.

Strange news.

yea...more i read about the incident more i feel sad. did you know that her father actually witnessed his daughter being kidnapped but he could not reach her? father was accused for her disappearing. this must be very bad experience for the father, i mean, seeing his baby were taking away by someone else, could not help her, not being heard from her for 18 years

that is just so sad. parents may have very confusing emotions now.
