Jaycee Dugard: Finally Free From Captivity, Writes About Experience

No Leads

Within hours, national and local news outlets were on the story. In the following days, search teams of volunteers scanned the area and put up posters.

Since young Jaycee loved pink, they even covered the town with pink ribbons in an effort to raise awareness about her disappearance. Thousands upon thousands of fliers were mailed to companies across the country. Her mom wasn’t ready to give up.

Jaycee’s Hope

Her mother founded ‘Jaycee’s Hope’ for fundraising and volunteer efforts. With help from the community, they sold shirts, buttons and sweatshirts to raise funds in order to print and mail more missing posters and flyers.

Even the Child Quest International and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children helped the cause. Additionally, the kidnapping was even on an episode of America’s Most Wanted. Sadly, even with all the support from people nationwide, no reliable leads were uncovered. As the months and years passed, they continued to raise awareness by sharing her story.
