The Kidnapping Of Jaycee Lee Dugard

‘I can’t believe we got away with it’ laughed Philip Garrido after abducting a school girl in broad daylight on her way to the school bus. 

What would follow were 18 agonising years of captivity, where Jaycee Lee Dugard would be subjected to the most horrific abuse imaginable. For years she was feared dead - her loved ones had no idea she was being kept prisoner in a back garden by a married couple. 

She was snatched at 11 years old. When she was reunited with her family, she was 29, and a mother of 2. 

What on earth happened here? Who were her captors? And how was she rescued?
