Kidnapping of Jaycee Dugard

And I don't think I'm going to work on that thing I said I was working on anymore, by the way.

Once at maybe 10, my mother caught me reading the memoir of J.C. Dugard.

I was obsessed with going through her bookshelf when she wasn't home, which mostly consisted of Dan Brown and Mitch Albom and Star Wars DVDs.

But once I had picked up the memoir of J.C. Dugard, I had seen the word cherry used in the book in a different context than I was used to.

So when she got home from work, I asked her if cherry could be more than a fruit.

In keeping the faith, we are led to believe that Ben Stiller is more charismatic than Edward Norton.

I worked on the Unabomber case.

I worked on the J.C. Dugard case.

I've worked on Gary Ridgway, the Green River murder case.

Now she delves into the mind of James Dusty Rhodes, who is serving four consecutive life sentences for murder, attempted murder, kidnapping, and sexual battery.

Yeah.

There's Jaycee Dugard, where they're held captive for years and years.

Like, it, it's kinda crazy that investigators didn't seemingly do their job as thoroughly as they should have-

I know

This week on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio is taking on one of the most haunting kidnapping cases in modern American history, the 1991 abduction of Jaycee Dugard.

Jaycee was 11 years old when she was kidnapped near her home in South Lake Tahoe, California.

She would remain in captivity for more than 18 years before her astonishing recovery in 2009 exposed not only the crimes committed against her, but the opportunities authorities had missed along the way.

They include the Golden State Killer, Joseph DeAngelo Jr., age 80, who was convicted of 13 murders and dozens of rapes across California.

Child molesting creep Philip Guerrero, age 75, who kidnapped and abused 11-year-old J.C. Dugard and held her captive for 18 years until 2009.

And Charles Manson disciple Bruce Davis, age 83, who was convicted of two murders committed by the Manson cult in 1969, just to name a few.

Renowned private investigator Jason Jensen tells the National Enquirer that controversial policy change is playing with fire.

Quinn notes that this book will deeply appeal to readers who are grimly fascinated by high-profile long-term child kidnapping cases.

She specifically references the real-world horror survived by Jaycee Dugard and Elizabeth Smart.

Right.

We all watched the news coverage when those girls were rescued, but the news cycle stops at the rescue.

processing plant that her parents worked at and they you know they put up that reward for anyone who could help lead to jamie's location and because jamie did it herself they gave her the twenty five thousand dollars which i thought was so sweet okay jennio and jamie who is 21 years old at the time of this recording has largely stayed out of the public eye since her kidnapping and we hope that she has gotten every opportunity to live her life on her own terms

Yeah, I want to give another mark, too, for Everyday Heroes for Elizabeth Smart and J.C. Dugard.

Yeah.

Because they played, I think, a big part in helping the community after this and offering their support to Jamie and making sure...
