Lost and Found: The True Story of Jaycee Lee Dugard and the Abduction that Shocked the World

The Shocking True Story of Jaycee Lee Dugard's 18-Year Captivity and Miraculous Rescue

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: Garrido was Jaycee Lee Dugard's kidnapper, and had held her captive for 18 years.

Jaycee's harrowing story was finally revealed. For nearly two decades, she had lived in an outbuilding on the Garrido property in Antioch, CA, just two hours away from her childhood home. Kept in complete isolation, Jaycee was repeatedly raped by Garrido, bearing two daughters in captivity. When news broke of her discovery, there was a huge outpouring of relief across the nation. But disturbing questions remain: How did the Garridos evade authorities for so long? And how did Jaycee find the strength to endure her unimaginable ordeal? This is the story of a girl-next-door who was Lost and Found against all odds.
