Ever since the news of Jaycee Dugard being found after 18 years in captivity, there's many things I've wondered about and I'm sure many here have wondered too.
There were some conflicting reports on Wednesday, August 26th, and Thursday, August 27th. Some media were reporting that Jaycee walked into a police station and identified herself as Jaycee Dugard. Later, we learned about the two campus police officers at UC Berkley who observed PG and the two young girls acting strangely on campus on Tuesday, which led them to investigate and call PG's parole officer. We then learned that the parole officer asked PG to come to his office, and at that time PG appeared with NG, Allyssia, and two young girls. At that point the case unraveled, PG and NG were arrested, and Allyssia was identified as Jaycee Dugard. Within hours Jaycee's mother, Terry Probyn, was notified that her daughter had been found alive. Terry made plans to fly to northern California the next day, Thursday, August 27. By all accounts, it was a joyful reunion.
The above is what we DO know. What we don't know, and I think would be fascinating to know is what happened after Allyssia said she was Jaycee Dugard? Did the parole officer even know who Jaycee was? Or did he have to call the police, local and El Dorado police? I'm sure the police didn't make a positive identification just on Jaycee's word. How did they confirm her identification? Did El Dorado police have fingerprints on file taken from the Probyn home after Jaycee's kidnapping? I remember that Jaycee had a birthmark on one leg and other identifying marks. Did a female police officer make an examination? I'm sure the police/FBI wouldn't call Terry Probyn without being 100% certain it was Jaycee.
We know that the appointment with the parole officer happened sometime Thursday, Jaycee was positively identified, and Terry Probyn was called. She flew to northern California the next morning to reunite with her daughter and to meet her two granddaughters.
But what happened between Jaycee being identified and the next morning? Was Jaycee interviewed by the police and FBI? Was it because of what they learned from Jaycee that prompted the investigation of the property next to PG's home and investigating the possibility PG was linked to other missing persons cases? Were the two girls interviewed? Were Jaycee and the two girls placed in protective custody?
I think it would be fascinating to know what steps were taken from first learning that Allyssia was Jaycee Dugard to the reunion with her mother, sister, and aunt. What was the police procedure?
