Jaycee the Multi Million Dollar Horror Story

As details of sex slave Jaycee Dugard’s ordeal began to emerge, publishers and Hollywood studios began a multi-million dollar bidding war for the rights to her ­horrifying life story.
It has been revealed that in the early days of her captivity, the terrified schoolgirl was so hungry she ate bugs and worms in the rambling back garden where she was held in tents and lock-up sheds. She had to use a garden hose to shower outside, even in the depths of winter, say detectives guarding her and her two daughters, fathered by kidnapper Phillip Garrido. But the public are desperate for the full story of how Jaycee, now 29, survived after being snatched on her way to a school bus stop when she was only 11. A Hollywood studio producer said last night: “Everyone is in the market for this story. Poor Jaycee’s life may have been hell for 18 years but she’ll never want for anything for the rest of it.”

Police Lieutenant Kurt Von Savoy, who is leading the investigation, will say no more than Jaycee is still being “debriefed” at a “safe house” in the San Francisco Bay area. But a source close to the case revealed: “I’ve seen two officers crying after spending time with her. Some details, ­especially of the sexual attacks on her, will come out eventually in court but they are unprintable, unpalatable and ­unimaginable.”
A psychiatrist who has spent at least 150 hours with Jaycee is ­convinced she is suffering from Stockholm syndrome, a psychological state sometimes seen in hostages, in which the victim shows loyalty, even affection towards the captor.One therapy being suggested is for Jaycee to write a letter to Garrido, 58, and his wife Nancy, 54. Garrido, a registered sex offender, has been linked to six child abductions and murders stretching back years within a 400-mile radius of the ramshackle home in Antioch, California, where Jaycee was held.Talking about the letter therapy, a source said: “She has been told that she need not mail it to them but it’s being seen as one small way of helping her understand her feelings .”
Even if Jaycee does not write, her stepfather Carl Probyn, 61, said that he intends to write regularly to Garrido and his wife .“I will be telling them how well our family is doing and how wonderful things are outside prison, where I pray he and his wife rot until the day they die,” he said.

The two children of Jaycee Dugard fathered by the man accused of imprisoning her for 18 years are distraught at the arrest of their father and bewildered by the way their lives have been suddenly changed. Starlet and Angel, aged 11 and 15, were rescued from the intricate web of tents and sheds erected by Phillip Garrido in the backyard of his home in Antioch, California, in which they spent their entire lives. They were born in a sound-proofed hut in the compound, never saw a doctor or attended school and were rarely allowed out.

They have been told by their mother that she was abducted by Garrido on her way to school and that their father imprisoned and raped her. Snippets of information that have emerged about the children suggest they are deeply confused. Carl Probyn, who keeps in close touch with the family, said the revelations about their abusive father have caused turmoil for Starlet and Angel. "These girls are so fragile. They are upset about this because that's their father and he's in jail."
Probyn said Terry, Jaycee and the two girls were "doing fine - not exactly fine, but fine for the situation. My wife says that Jaycee is an excellent mother, and they are bonding, playing little games like checkers."
Chris Campion, an FBI agent who witnessed the reunion, said Terry was ecstatic. "It was a very emotional scene - both of them were just overjoyed to be with each other again. There's going to be a period of adjustment, no doubt, but they're doing very well at this point."
Dugard has had to deal with feelings of guilt because she was attached to Garrido despite the fact that he had abused her and she had made no apparent attempt to escape.
"Jaycee has strong feelings with this guy. She really feels it's almost like a marriage,"according to Probyn

Stephen Ajl, a child abuse pediatrician in New York, said Jaycee and her children would need expert care for a long time: "The scars on them will be enormous. Their norm has been inside that compound and anything outside it will seem terrifying. They have been reared on another planet, and nothing about their recovery will be straightforward or easy."

A FINAL NOTE:
Reportedly, Jaycee wants her pets back in her life, though the animals, which include a Rottweiler mix, a Labrador mix and domestic short-haired cats, are being held at an area shelter.
The larger animals were found in the yard or in the various tents and outbuildings on the property. Lt. Nancy Anderson of the county's animal services agency said, "They're very friendly and socialized."
Jaycee's pets include five shorthair cats, the two dogs, three cockatiels, a pigeon and a mouse. They've all been at the Contra Costa County Animal Services facility in Martinez since Aug. 27, says the San Jose Mercury News. The animals might comfort them and help them all to adjust and process what's happening.

BONES FOUND IN GARRIDO'S BACKYARD:

ANTIOCH — Powerful underground searching tools found a "disturbance" in the same area of Phillip and Nancy Garrido's backyard where two cadaver dogs detected something a day earlier, authorities said Friday.
Bill Silva, an archaeologist with B.A. Silva Sensing Systems, said it is common to find anomalies such as stones, roots or pits in soil, but the fact a disturbance was found at the same spot that prompted a response by the dogs a day earlier warrants further investigation. The dogs are trained to detect human remains.
Silva's crews have been scouring the site as part of an effort this week to find clues to two child abductions from the late 1980s.
Meanwhile, another bone was found on the property of the kidnap suspects as crews were removing debris and breaking concrete, Dublin police Lt. Kurt von Savoye said at an afternoon news conference. As with other bones found earlier this week on the Garrido property and a neighboring property, authorities said testing will be required to determine whether it is human.
