Missed Opportunities
Many people point to the missed opportunities during Jaycee’s captivity as a major failure to rescue her sooner. Apparently, in April 1992, a man called police to report seeing Jaycee staring intently at a missing child poster of herself at a gas station and then watching her leave in a big van. Unfortunately, the van was gone when police arrived, but they did not pursue the matter. Also in 2006, a neighbor called 911 to say kids were living in tents in the back and Phillip was psychotic. After a sheriff spoke with Garrido at the front for a half hour, he left.
