Jaycee Dugard Describes Kidnapping

On June 10, 1991, Jaycee Dugard was just 11 years old. A fifth grader and dressed in all pink, she was headed to school with a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich in tow. But the day took a horrible turn when Phillip and Nancy Garrido drove up behind the girl soon after she left her house. “[I] walked up the side of the hill because it was the safe way to go against traffic,” Dugard said. “Halfway up, my world changed in an instant.” The Garridos paralyzed her with a stun gun, forced her into their car, and sped off, hiding her under a blanket. Dugard remembered: “It was like the most horrible moment of your life times 10.”
