Jaycee Lee Dugard Pictures and What They Do Not Show
Pictures at Eleven Are the Last Known of Jaycee Lee Dugard
Recent Jaycee Lee Dugard pictures are impossible to find. That's because there are no recent pictures of Jaycee Lee Dugard. Search as hard as you like, you will not find pictures of Jaycee Lee Dugard that postdate a certain day in 1991 when she was kidnapped on her way to the bus stop in South Lake Tahoe, California. She had been 11 then. Now, at the age of 29, she has been "found," telling authorities who she really was when she was at a parole office with her captors Wednesday, Phillip and Nancy Garrido. Phillip Garrido, a registered sex offender, had been called into the probation office because a background check performed by a security officer at UC-Berkeley the day before had prompted the officer to report him because he was in the company of two young girls.
Jaycee Lee Dugard's story shook the nation. For 18 years, she had been held against her will in a series of makeshift sheds, tents, and outbuildings, one soundproofed and lockable only from the outside. In this environment that has been described as "like camping out," an 11-year-old girl grew to be a 29-year-old woman. Amid all the junk and the somewhat organized disorganization, Jaycee Lee Dugard was repeatedly raped and bore two little girls.
The Daily Mail's pictures captures all of the squalor, the flea-market jumble of accumulated bric-a-brac and things. The pictures capture the living conditions of someone forever caught in a world of perpetual
What the Jaycee Lee Dugard pictures do not show is the anguish and defenselessness of an 11-year-old girl in an unfamiliar place, ripped from everything she has ever known, forced to do things she may have never even known were possible before her kidnapping. They do not express the fear of a growing young woman dependant upon her captors for necessities to live, or the fears of what Phillip and Nancy Garrido might do to her for an infraction of their rules. What the Jaycee Lee Dugard pictures do not capture is the compartmentalization of emotion and the suppression of a girl's true self as she makes the necessary mental adjustments to live within the parameters of her limited world. Those same pictures do not allow for the fears of a 14-year-old mother giving birth for the first time and caring for child -- then two -- without access to medicines or adequate health care. They do not exhibit the fear that gradually turned to grudging trust and the anger, pain, and revulsion dampened by curiosity, the acceptance, and an instinct to survive, to persevere, to move on to the next day. What the Jaycee Lee Dugard pictures -- or more accurately, the pictures of the living quarters of Jaycee Lee Dugard and her daughters -- fail to exhibit is the overall fear through the years.
Because, in the end, the pictures of Jaycee Lee Dugard's living arrangements and conditions are simply pictures of things, of inanimate objects, the strewn heap of a life put on hold and misplaced. They are not pictures of Jaycee Lee Dugard.
They are pictures of a prison.

Post a CommentI saw picture of JCLeeD. She was on a business card of Garrido's. She looked great with long blond hair, swished to the side and a blue jean jacket. She looks the same as she did as a kid just older. The picture that was created with the age progression looks nothing like her. When you hidden from the world you loose your ability to communicate with people. People become a scarry thing. Feelings of being inadiquit and not being able to blend in take over. I suggest she return to school and start there.
I saw a picture of Jaycee just for a moment flashed across the screen early one morning when the story broke. I never was able to see it again. I was astonished as I clearly saw that Jaycee looked 11 in a big body. Written across her many complex emotions was fear, embarrassment and humiliation, as well as it seemed that her whole countenance had the events of what happenned to her stamped on her person. She looked like the world stopped the day she got kidnapped, and on her face you could read all that happened to her. I hope she doesn't become a prisoner of the situation now that she is free. I wouldn't want her to feel imprisoned in a new home because of the media. She needs to dye her hair and travel to some far off gorgeous land, anonymously, and regain her freedom and choice.
My mistake, LAW, and I appreciate the clarification.
By the way your wrong on one detail... You reported a Security Officer at UC Berkley, it was a University Police Officer, a regular police force..
that man's sentence for his first crime was 50 years to life and he only did 11 years!!!!??????
Next time, Death penalty.
There are no victims, nor aggressors here. A man who claims God speaks to him from inside a shoe box cannot be held accountable for his actions. On the other hand, it seems he took good care of the girls, which is often more than what the California state government is willing to do for it's tax paying constituents.
Also, who is to say they lived back there all the time, vs. in the house, that whack job said something in that interview he had on the phone that he slept with his kids? Where are pictures of the inside of the home? I don't think we have anything near the truth yet about all this story. Sensationalism sells, not to down play the tragedy by any means.
not true, printing customers said on TV that they made business cards with ALissa/Jaycee's picture on them. Wonder why nobody has released that picture?
I wish we could go back and edit our AC articles once they've been posted. Many of us have made typos and only seen them after it's too late!
Oh, I don't, Bat. I would rather that, if they have nothing better to do than point out a punctuation error or a misapplied name, they would do so with decorum and hold up on calling the reporting into question. The article mentions Phillip Garrido again without the misappellation. Ryan Swift, however, points it out with decorum and that is the way that it is done. Would that more people had that type of class...
