You have probably heard about the horrible story of Jaycee Lee Dugard, the girl who was kidnapped for 18 years and has recently been rediscovered. For those who don’t know anything about that, here is the story: Jaycee was kidnapped at a school bus stop in South Lake Tahoe (California) in 1991 when she was only 11-year old. She has been confined for 18 years in Antioch, at around 200 miles from where she was abducted by the couple Philipp Garrido (58) and Nancy Garrido until few days ago, when she entered in contact with a police officer and revealed that she was the girl abducted 18 years ago. Her identity was confirmed the following day. She was not only kidnapped, but she was raped many times by Philipp Garrido, giving birth twice, when she was 14 and then 18. She lived behind the home of the couple with her 2 daughters, who are now 11 and 15, until a few days ago. She lived in a series of tents, tarps and wooden structures behind the home of the Garridos in the yard surrounded by high fences and large trees. I could continue for along time to tell the story with more details, but I think the essential is said and if you want to, you can find more information over the web and in the press. That said, you will find inside the post a series of photos of the place where Jaycee Lee Dugard (29) had to live.
I would have just piled all that garbage up, hopped over the fence and walked to the neighbors. Surely they would have heard you even if you yelled. I can't believe no one even noticed that shit in the backyard. Do you think the kids will keep in contact with their father?
I imagine her situation like this: during the first years of her kidnapping, she probably wasn't strong enough to escape, and her captors used threats to keep her from even trying. After all she was just eleven. As she grew older she would be able to escape - except that she got pregnant. She couldn't risk an escape during her pregnancy. Also, after her daughter's birth she would be able to try, but now she would be risking the baby's life. And then she got pregnant again. By the time her second daughter was old enough to risk an escape, she was completely used to her captive life.
