About this listen

In 1991, eleven-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard was kidnapped on her morning walk to the school bus. The search for Jaycee made national headlines, and the case was repeatedly featured on America's Most Wanted. But despite her family's tireless efforts, Jaycee's disappearance remained a mystery.

Then, in August 2009, a registered sex offender named Phillip Garrido appeared on the University of California, Berkeley, campus alongside two young women whose unusual behavior sparked concern among campus officials and law enforcement. That visit would pave the way for a shocking discovery: That Garrido was Jaycee Lee Dugard's kidnapper.

For eighteen years Jaycee had lived on the Garrido property in Antioch, California. Kept in complete isolation, she was repeatedly raped by Garrido, who fathered her two daughters. When news broke of Jaycee's discovery, there was a huge outpouring of relief across the nation. But questions remain: How did the Garridos slip past authorities? And how did Jaycee endure her captivity? This is the story of a girl-next-door who was lost and found.

It makes the parole officers in this case appear to be council workers leanin on their shovels.

A little drawn out at times but a very good read.

Wow !!!! What a incredible story it really highlights how the justice system fails to protect the innocent. The monster should of been locked in prison but NO he was released to continue his crimes

I am so glad this did not dwell on the details of Jaycee Dugard’s suffering and exploitation. The author has instead focused on the crime itself without sinking into “trauma porn” territory, making for a more interesting and respectful account. I was horrified to learn of the earlier crimes, including the one for which Garrido was actually on parole when he abducted Ms Dugard. Likewise, it was shocking to learn how many times this crime could have been uncovered in the many years of Ms Dugard’s captivity. It’s a fascinating case and one where justice appears to have finally been served. The author provides detail on the legal system’s workings in relation to the crimes and this is very helpful when seeking to understand the case.

Very respectful

I found this book to be too drawn out. This book focused on her abductor for 3/4 or more of the book. The book is meant to be about Jaycee lee and her abduction. Far too many chapters on her abductors life. That could of been a whole other book.

Long winded.
