Synopsis

In 1991, eleven-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard was kidnapped on her morning walk to the school bus. The search for Jaycee made national headlines, and the case was repeatedly featured on America's Most Wanted. But despite her family's tireless efforts, Jaycee's disappearance remained a mystery.

Then, in August 2009, a registered sex offender named Phillip Garrido appeared on the University of California, Berkeley, campus alongside two young women whose unusual behavior sparked concern among campus officials and law enforcement. That visit would pave the way for a shocking discovery: that Garrido was Jaycee Lee Dugard's kidnapper. For eighteen years Jaycee had lived on the Garrido property in Antioch, California. Kept in complete isolation, she was repeatedly raped by Garrido, who fathered her two daughters.

When news broke of Jaycee's discovery, there was a huge outpouring of relief across the nation. But questions remain: How did the Garridos slip past authorities? And how did Jaycee endure her captivity? This is the story of a girl-next-door who was lost and found.

Most of the stuff I already knew......more

3.5 STARS LOST AND FOUND chronicles Jaycee Lee Dugard’s abduction, eighteen years in captivity and her return home. Focusing solely on public knowledge and information John Glatt tells the story, focusing mostly on her captor as information about Jaycee was scant at the time of publication. Glatt did......more

Goodreads review by Charlene on April 14, 2016

Sometimes the writing was subpar (e.g. trying to be witty when talking about rape, overly repetitive) but on the whole it was one of the better true crime books I have read. Instead of just telling the story in a sensational way, this author successfully gathered as much relevant information as poss......more

Goodreads review by Valerie on June 16, 2013

This is one of the few true cases I was barely aware of; the name was familiar but I didn't know many of the details. This is a story about an 11 year old girl who was kidnapped almost immediately after the perpetrator got out of prison for rape, assault, battery and other charges against an older w......more

Mr. Glatt did not disappoint. The story is well researched and very well written. It is important to remember how powerful this story was because Jaycee Dougard went missing when I was in my senior year of high school. As a result it had a powerful effect on my parenting. Stories like Ms. Dougard an......more
