Jaycee Lee Dugard had been missing since June 10, 1991 when as an 11 year old girl walking to the bus stop in South Lake Tahoe, CA she was abducted by two individuals. She had not been heard or seen from since.
18 years later … Jaycee Lee Dugard is found alive and safe. In a missing persons case of don’t ever give up hope, 29 year old Jaycee Lee Dugard has been reunited with her family.
Sadly, Jaycee Lee Dugard had been held as a sex slave by Phillip Garrido, a previously convicted sex offender and kept Dugard in the back yard of his property. According to Fox40 News, Dugard bore several children for sex offender Phillip Garrido. The El Dorado County Sheriff’s Department stated that the two children were kept in “complete isolation” and had not been to school or a doctor. (Video)
Authorities tell FOX40 News that Dugard bore several children for sex offender Phillip Garrido, who kept her in a backyard device — possibly a shed — as a sex slave for both Garrido and his wife, Nancy Garrido.
Both Phillip and Nancy Garrido were arrested as suspects in the kidnapping case. Authorities say Nancy Garrido was with Phillip Garrido at the time of the abduction and matches the suspect’s description obtained by eyewitnesses in 1991. The Garrido’s Antioch home was searched for evidence Thursday morning.
Authorities with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s Division of Adult Parolee Operations report a parolee agent helped crack the 18-year-old kidnapping case while following up on a tip that Garrido was seen with two small children on the campus of UC Berkeley. The diligent questioning of the parolee officer led Garrido to reveal the kidnapping of Dugard. Further questioning revealed Dugard and Garrido were the parents of the two children.

24 year old Pfc. James Gonzalez, who has been thought to be missing has been found and arrested. Gonzalez was arrested Wednesday night after being found unharmed, according to U.S. Army Criminal Investigations Command spokesman Christopher Grey. Pfc. James Gonzalez, a soldier at Fort Hood in central Texas, failed to return to base July 13 as scheduled.
Army Pfc. James Gonzalez
There are no indications that Gonzalez was abducted, Grey said in an e-mail sent to The Associated Press. Law enforcement officials in Laredo were interviewing Gonzalez Thursday, and Grey said he’d be turned over to the Army’s custody later that day.
There were conflicting reports about the circumstances surrounding the soldier’s arrest.
Grey said it was during a traffic stop. Local law enforcement sources say it was at a house in Laredo, Texas, they’d been conducting surveillance on during the investigation.
He has since been charged with being AWOL.
It has been reported that Pfc. James Gonzalez was missing, presumed kidnapped and that a ransom had been asked for his return.
A Fort Hood-based soldier has been missing for about a week since telling family members he was heading to a Texas border town, and the FBI says the Army was told the missing private had been kidnapped, the soldier’s brother said Tuesday.
The family of Pfc. James Gonzalez, 24, last saw him July 11 at his mother’s house in Robstown, near Corpus Christi, said his older brother, J.C. Gonzalez. James Gonzalez said he was headed to Laredo that afternoon to hang out with friends before returning to base July 13, his brother said.

Eridania Rodriguez, a 46 year old cleaning woman went missing and appears to 
have vanished midway through her shift while working at a lower Manhattan, NY office tower just a few hundred feet from the World Trade Center reconstruction site.
Eridania Rodriguez punched in for work at 2 Rector Street around 5 p.m. and was last seen on security cameras around 7 p.m. However, the building’s cameras never recorded her leaving the high-rise. She simply vanished. One would suspect that she may still be somewhere in the building.
“She had been complaining about a guy at the building who made her kind of nervous,” he said. “And she worked on floors that had been empty.”
He said Rodriguez is married with several children. One of her brothers is Victor Martinez, a top-ranked professional bodybuilder.
Police quietly sealed off the building Wednesday morning to hunt for clues. They found no trace of the missing woman. Workers were finally allowed back in shortly before noon.

10 year old Lindsey J. Baum has been missing since Friday night, June 26, 2009 at approximately 9:15 pm in McCleary, WA. Lindsey J. Baum was last seen Friday night walking home on Maple Street from a friend’s house. The distance was only about four blocks, she never arrived home. Lindsey has no history of running away.
Lindsey J. Baum Description:
- 4-foot 9-inches tall
- 80 pounds
- brown hair
- brown eyes
- She was last seen wearing a grey pullover hoodie with blue jeans and black shoes.
- McCleary Police say she doesn’t have a history of running away, and since there are fewer than 2,000 people in town, someone would recognize her if she were walking the streets.
If anyone has any information regarding the whereabouts of Lindsey, please call Grays Harbor E911 Center at 360-533-8765 or McCleary Police at 360-495-3107
UPDATE I: Search for Missing Lindsey Baum enters Second Day
As the search for a missing 10-year-old girl stretched into its second day in this small mill town, police and family are beginning to fear she may have been kidnapped.
10 year old Lindsey Baum Missing
Lindsey J. Baum was last seen between 9 and 10 p.m. Friday when she left her friend’s home on Maple Street, where she had been visiting, said Dave Pimentel of the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office.
The police are hesitant to refer to the missing girl’s disappearance a case of foul play; however, the more time goes by, the greater the possibility.
The search was resumed Sunday at 6 a.m., but so far with the same futile result as the day before.
Police are hesitant to call the girl’s disappearance a case of foul play just yet, but the girl’s family fears the worst.
“I’ve tried to keep the thought of somebody grabbing her out of my mind,” says her mother, Melissa Baum.
Search on for missing McCleary girl
Melissa Baum said Lindsey wasn’t angry Friday night, and left without money, a change of clothes or her cellphone. Police have searched for the girl in the homes of her friends, in case she had been “hiding out.”
“She wouldn’t have run away,” Baum said, her voice hoarse. “If she had been hiding she would have come out by now. She can’t hide that long, she loves to talk.”
National Center of Missing & Exploited Children: Lindsey J. Baum
UPDATE II: FBI Joins the Search for Missing Lindsey Baum
The FBI has now joined the investigation and search for missing 10 yea old Lindsey Baum. At this point between the short walk between her home and her friends house and the fact that the community was so small, it is hard to believe that Lindsey did not know her abductor.
The FBI has joined the search for a 10-year-old girl who vanished Friday while walking home from a friend’s house in this small mill town.
Officials said the federal crime-busting bureau was brought in because of its expertise and experience in solving missing children cases. The FBI also will be bringing in more law enforcement personnel to assist.
As the search for 10-year-old Lindsey J. Baum stretched into its second day Sunday, police and family – along with the whole town – are baffled and concerned at the girl’s disappearance in a town where everyone knows their neighbors.

DNA testing results concluded that Nevaeh indeed was found by fishermen Thursday beneath a layer of concrete along the River Raisin in Raisinville Township, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said this afternoon.
Investigators did not release a cause of death, nor is anyone in custody. The girl disappeared May 24 from her apartment complex.
Though Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said Friday that the girl found near the river likely was Nevaeh, family members held out hope the girl might still be alive.
