Jaycee Dugard: Finally Free From Captivity, Writes About Experience

Arrest

At one point, Jaycee told the investigators that she had been abused by a husband in Minnesota. Once the parole office phoned the Concord police and a sergeant arrived, then Garrido confessed to kidnap and rape. At last, Jaycee Dugard confirmed her identity.

Many saw her initial responses as signs of Stockholm Syndrome, but she told Diane Sawyer during an interview that she was just scared and trying to survive. Police arrested Phillip and Nancy Garrido. An FBI agent called Terry Probyn and after 18 years, let her speak to her daughter.

Trial

In August of 2009, both Phillip and Nancy Garrido pleaded not guilty to the numerous charges such as, false imprisonment and kidnapping.

Then in April 2011, they finally pled guilty and were sentenced. For Phillip Garrido, he got 431 years to life and his wife got 36 years to life. Jaycee chose not to attend their sentencing but had her mother read a message she wrote.
