Missing girl 'found 18 years on'



A woman who walked into a US police station claiming she was kidnapped 18 years ago is likely to be telling the truth, police in California say. DNA tests were being carried out, local police said, with officers almost certain that the results will back up the woman's story.
Jaycee Lee Dugard, 11, disappeared in 1991 from outside her Lake Tahoe home, apparently taken by two men.
Two men are reported to have been taken into custody, US reports say.

The Austrian syndrome repeats.

At this stage we don't even know if she escaped her captors or just left!

Scary!

According to the Associated Press news agency, Mr Probyn was watching back in 1991 as the young girl was taken away by two unidentified men.

I see on Googling that there's all kinds of sordid crap with this case, even some where the parents allegedly sold her to pay for their drug debts.:eek:

Maddie?

At least she's alive. It's a refreshing thing to hear somebody missing turn up alive and safe after such a long time.

It was more Fritzlitus I was thinking of but couldn't remember the name when I typed it.

Couldn't be arsed to google it either!!

Now we have more info, it appears to be a very similar case - except she was kidnapped and not their daughter.

The poison was obviously being spread by some vicious individual who had jumped to some seriously wrong conclusion, as per this thread that kicked off back in 2004.

Needless to say, the thread has just been woken up again, for the sole purpose of having a go at said anonymous vicious individual, who has probably long since disappeared from that particular forum.:pac:

Or then again, perhaps the kidnapper posted the accusation?:eek:

If he needs a device he's hardly doing it with his mind now is he.

That's akin to me saying, "I can control the television with my mind".

How the **** can a wife agree to something like that?
"Honey, let's kidnap a child whom I will rape and keep captive".
"Ok, husband, whatever you say dear"

Probably the same reason why said rape victim stayed put in his back yard for 18 years, brainwashing
