Allissa Garrido!
Jaycee Lee Dugard was known as Allissa Garrido, the daughter of Phillip Garrido. Jaycee Lee Dugard as Allissa Garrido acted as the daughter of Phillip Garrido and wife Nancy Garrido while she believed she was really his second wife.
Initial reports – that Jaycee Lee Dugard told police her story and real name during last week’s questioning - are now apparently false. Rather, when questioned by police, Jaycee said her name was Allissa and that it was Garrido who confessed her identity during interrogation.
The whole event unfolded just last week when Dugard took his two children with Jaycee to UC Berkeley’s campus. His purpose was to book a meeting for his “church” Gods Desire.
Lisa Campbell, the Berkeley officer, was the first to finally crumble Garrido’s terror. She said at the meeting for the Church booking that Garrido brought two kids – which had previously referred strangely to others as Starlite and Angel. She said during that meeting Garrido left a strange impression:
“There were some things about him and the kids that were really alarming, that just didn’t settle right with me.”
Phillip Garrido was scheduled to return the next day for his Church’s booking. But before he returned, Campbell had learned of his past. Ally Jacobs joined the meeting. At this second meeting she said the youngest daughter appeared strange:
“It was almost like she was looking into my soul… her eyes were so penetrating, and she had this smile on her face. I just got a weird, uneasy feeling.”
Then more clues. Garrido had their school age’s off by a year, and said he had a 29 year old daughter at home. When records showed he had no children, Berkeley police scheduled another meeting for Wednesday. It was there that Dugard joined Garrido and said her name was Allissa and that he was Dugard’s daughter. But during interrogations, Garrido finally revealed who Dugard really was.
Despite reports, in the 18 year of captivity, Dugard did have contact with the outside world. She went to movies, to the supermarket, interacted with clients, had internet access. But during that time she maintained the name Allissa, never attended school or a doctor.
One email to a client read:
“I will take a look at the price sheet and send you over a copy of the revised brochure tomorrow. as to the pictures sorry … but we don’t have a digital camera … hopefully
you can find a way to get me those pictures you want so i can add them to them brochure. i can get the brochures to you pretty fast within the week of final approval of the brochures. How many are you going to order and do you want them on glossy or matte paper, thick or thin?”
Dugard was said to appear happy, normal, and brilliant with design for clients.
