Jaycee Dugard: Finally Free From Captivity, Writes About Experience

Neighbor’s Memory

Wait, let’s rewind a bit. Once Jaycee was rescued, a neighbor of Garrido’s named Patrick McQuaid remembered meeting Jaycee Dugard.

He encountered her, through a fence, just after she was kidnapped and she introduced herself as Jaycee. Patrick inquired whether she lived at the house or was visiting, but she answered that she lived there. Right then, Garrido grabbed her and brought her inside and shortly after, built a huge fence and set a tent up for Jaycee.

Police Investigation

Anyway, once the police actually investigated after the UC Berkeley incident, they separated Phillip from the women and girls.

Nancy Garrido, Jaycee and her two girls were taken away from Phillip in order to get their identification. Jaycee was introduced as Allissa and only revealed her true name after being pressed by investigators. She also revealed the girls were her children. Her and the children emphasized that Phillip was a good man.
