NBC's Dateline Ann Curry Jaycee Dugard Pt 3

Dateline Story "In Plain Sight" by Keith Morrison "The Jaycee Dugard Story" Producers Shane Bishop, Vince Sturla and Robert Dean Editors: David Ketterling, Warren Potter and Paul Venus DroneVideoCourtesyLarryThompson916 Nicole Sipes: It's beautiful, it's heaven, y'know? Kelly Brosnahan: It was a wonderful place to grow up. Tucked under the ancient alpine canopy that blankets the southern end of this national treasure is a lattice of quiet streets, a child's paradise. Or so it seemed as spring turned to summer,
1991, South Lake Tahoe. Jaycee Dugard was the new girl in town that year. Pretty, blonde, very quiet. And very shy.
She had just a couple of fast friends, among them Kelly Brosnahan. On June 7, a Friday night, Jaycee attended Kelly's sleepover party. Keith Morrison: I think that's about the most fun thing girls can do at a certain stage, a sleepover! Kelly Brosnahan: Yeah, we had fun, and we were playing Nintendo and just the normal things you'd
do at a sleepover. And then it was Monday morning. Last week of school. Jaycee walked alone along her safe street to the school bus stop. Nicole Sipes, now a mother herself, was on the bus when it pulled up to Jaycee's corner. By then, it had already happened. Nicole Sipes: The twins from across the street ran onto the bus and started yelling, "They took her, they took her, they took her."
What happened then is still a vivid memory, two decades later. Nicole Sipes: Everybody was scared. I mean, we're 11 and a police officer gets on and says we all have to stay on the bus, you know something really bad has happened.
Keith Morrison: Did you have any idea what? Nicole Sipes: No, we didn't know what had happened until after he had told us stay on the bus.Kelly was on the playgroundwaiting for her friend Jaycee. Unaware of what had happened.
Kelly Brosnahan: And I remember the kids coming from Jaycee's bus, and Jaycee wasn't coming. And the kids were saying that-- that there was a-- a car and s-- they heard somebody got kidnapped, and then another group of kids said they thought it was Jaycee.Back home, as a massive search began, the single, frantic eyewitness to the abduction, Jaycee's stepfather, went on local TVCarl Probyn: I watched my daughter go towards the top of the hill and all of a sudden the car darted in front of her.
911 call: String of kidnappings related?Retired FBI Agent Mary Ellen O'Toole talks about the"cluster"of child abductions that occurred In the San Francisco Bay area in the years before Jaycee Dugard disappeared.Dateline NBC Carl Probyn: My daughter was just kidnapped. It was a gray Ford. A man and a woman in the car.Just like that, little 11-year old Jaycee Dugard was driven away in a gun-metal gray sedan. Gone. Her mother Terry. Inconsolable, appealed to whoever had taken herTerry Probyn on TV: I need her home. I need her to come home tonight. Jaycee, if you hear Mommy, I love you, and I want you to come home tonight safe and sound.Keith Morrison: What was it like for you that next few days?Kelly Brosnahan: I just (crying) remember it was really hard. It was awful, so awful. It was a very sad and very hard thing.Keith Morrison: Did you have any idea what might have happened to her?
Kelly Brosnahan: No, no. I just know my friend was there one day and then the next day she wasn't. And I remember how hard it was to see Terry. She was just so distraught Then as if to add to Terry's grief, police took a hard look at her own husband, Jaycee's stepfather Carl Probyn. He was the last to see her, after all. And as the hours became days, the weeks turn into months, his life became increasingly untenable here in the glare of public suspicion. Eventually, his marriage to Jaycee's mother fell apart. And separately, they moved away.But in those first hours he was able to accomplish something important: a sketch that was both helpful and, well, unhelpful. A sketch of the female abductor.Retired FBI agent Mary Ellen 'Toole worked the case. Sharon Murch, mother of Michaela Garecht, describes coping with life after a child simply
disappears.Mary Ellen O'Toole: Two things that were striking. Number one, this is not a crime that you see a woman commit, generally. And then number two, it was then, and it continues to be, unusual to have a couple involved in this kind of crime. And O'Toole says there were other telling circumstances.Mary Ellen O'Toole: Plus, it occurred in broad daylight. Plus, it occurred in front of other people who could provide us with information about the car, about Jaycee, about the abductor, about what the dynamics of the neighborhood were like. So, to do that seemed to be very high-risk behavior.

Yes, Jaycee actually has Starlit and Angel and live with Jaycee's mom Terry in Northern California...she as I was told did date one of the Police Officers from the Anitoch Police Department I don't know how that went....as for the Duo team...they have been convicted and sentenced to 431 years for Phillip (That is not dog years) and 36 for Nancy.....Thanks for your post and question.

[judy4justice]

I dont think Jaycee should have settled for 20 million.The way I understood the settlement, a certain percentage would be set aside to educate her and both girls, another portion would be set aside for counseling, etc.By the time she is taxed on that 20 million, she will be lucky to have 1/2 that much, divided between her and the 2 daughters.Not much for what they've all been thru.It should have been twice that much!

[LarryThompson916]

@judy4justice actually Judy the 20 million is tax free...and she deserves every penny...thanks for your post...sleep better tonight knowing she didn't give up 1/2 of her settlement to the gov't

[LarryThompson916]

@hennah11 thank you for your comment....What O'Toole is referring to is the oddity of a man and woman kidnapping children.....and that's what was peculiar when Jaycee's step father reported the abduction to the El Dorado County Sheriffs office....They simply didn't give him much credibility because he said it was a woman that grabbed Jaycee....And finally, in the news this week Jaycee was awarded 20 million dollars in an out of court settlement....I am not familiar with the West case....

[JDvorak2009]

Even though it was a horror story, I loved your story, Jaycee. I'm SO SO SO SAD that you had to go THROUGH that!!!!!!!!! But I am Glad you are home and safe with family and that you are ALIVE and WELL! God bless you Jaycee!

[sandhilldiva]

@judy4justice money from lawsuits are tax free

[kween410]

@themonstera, I absolutely agree with all you comments.

I feel so bad for JC as well as all the other children in the world who are not given all the possible protection from us as parents. I dnt mean to judge anybody but come on, what child gets abducted when they are with their parents?. I never allow my children to walk alone anywhere! Because of stuff like this! Our kids are not safe anywhere.

[themonstera]

@kween410 i agree, it is partially her mom's fault. JC didn't have a real father. and besides, i'm sure her mother had pyschological issues as well: she wasn't well educated, fathered 2 children whose father left them, and immediately married another man. i feel sorry for JC. she didn't deserve this. Her mother seemed selfish

[themonstera]

@artistjada oh right, ... b/c ALL christians are safe and clean ... .LOL you must not have hit puberty yet. thank god, it'll be awhile before you have children :)

[themonstera]

if phil garrido has a genetic psychological ailment i hope to god that jaycee's daughter's don't have it. or if they do, i hope they will cope with it better . or in the least have the resources available for them to cope with it.

[xxscandilous]

@kween410 well little girls' tend to sleep over each others houses, and she wasn't walking to school it was a bus stop just up the street!

[DisWldFrk90]

@LarryThompson916 I was mixed as to whether or not to say this as it may be an invasion of privacy, but it's not exactly something somebody couldn't find out if they checked it out. So I'll go ahead and say it. Jaycee's youngest actually goes by Gabriella. Not Starlite. I don't blame her as Starlite is a pretty unusual name and Jaycee never liked calling her that much anyway.

[DisWldFrk90]

Terry Probyn's plea makes me feel like crying. I can't imagine what it's like to not know what is happening to your child. And I read Jaycee's book and saw how much she wanted to see her mother. That is just one of the cruelest things you can do to somebody. No way could I ever snatch a little girl away from a loving mother and put both of them through that pain.

[theman160090]

shit i just pissed my pants when i saw the picture of the women kidnapper.....fuckkkkkk
