On June 10, 1991, an 11-year-old Jaycee Dugard was walking to her school bus stop in South Lake Tahoe, wearing a pink windbreaker and white T-shirt imprinted with a kitten. A gray car made a U-turn, and a dark-haired woman snatched her screaming into the vehicle. She was within sight of her home in South Lake Tahoe, California. She was 11 at the time of her abduction, and was missing for over 18 years.

Within hours of Dugard's disappearance, local and national media converged upon South Lake Tahoe to cover the story. Within days, dozens of local volunteers assisted in the search effort. It was a tremendous undertaking that involved nearly every resource within the community. Within weeks, tens of thousands of fliers and posters were mailed to businesses throughout the United States. Since Dugard's favorite color was pink, the entire town was blanketed in pink ribbons as a constant reminder of her disappearance and a demonstrated support for the family throughout the community.

On Wednesday August 26 2009 and through a sequence of events, a young woman appeared in a parole office in California with her new family. The family consisted of Phillip Garrido, a convicted rapist who was on parole since 1989, his wife Nancy and 2 girls later identified as Angel aged 15 and Starlit (Scarlett?) aged 12. She had been living with a couple that kidnapped her and had bore 2 kids with Phillip Garrido.

This is a story of Jaycee Dugard and the 18 years she lived with her kidnappers.
