Ou o do também austríaco Josef Fritzl, 73, que manteve a filha Elisabeth, 42, aprisionada em um porão durante 24 anos.
O caso de Jaycee Dugard é emblemático, ele disse. "Há pessoas que acreditam não haver esperanças quando uma criança desaparece." "Isto traz de volta as esperanças para várias famílias que procuram por seus filhos". De fato, é maravilhoso ter uma filha de volta, pensa o blogue, mas os anos perdidos sem a convivência com ela são como um buraco na alma. Enfim, dos males, o menor, ou, antes tarde do que nunca. Dizem que a incerteza é torturante, e é mesmo. É por esse motivo que se envidam tantos esforços nas buscas dos corpos dos mortos em acidentes. Psicologicamente, enterrar seus mortos é um alívio para o indescritível sofrimento de não se saber o destino de quem se ama. Ainda que tenha sido a morte. Jaycee Lee Dugard: Sex offender arrested after woman emerges 18 years after being kidnapped A woman kidnapped in 1991 when she was 11 years old was reunited with her mother on Thursday night after walking into a police station and announcing she was the victim of one of California's oldest unsolved crimes. Jaycee Lee Dugard, was abducted as she headed to a school bus stop 18 years ago. Jaycee Lee Dugard, was abducted as she headed to a school bus stop 18 years ago. Jaycee Lee Dugard, now aged 29, disappeared when a man and a woman pulled her kicking and screaming into a car at a school bus stop just yards from her home in South Lake Tahoe. After nearly two decades, the woman, who has undergone DNA tests and interviews, was poised to be reunited with her relatives. But amid joy at the family reunion, painful details of the woman's 18-year ordeal began to emerge. Phillip Garrido, a 58-year-old registered sex offender, and his wife Nancy Garrido, 54, have been arrested in connection with the case, with police sources saying Miss Dugard had borne two children to Mr Garrido. The couple apparently went to the police station with Miss Dugard to ask a question and were arrested when an officer because suspicious. Fox News reported that she had been kept in a garden building, possibly a shed or garage, as a sex slave for the couple, who face charges of kidnapping, rape, lascivious acts with a minor and conspiracy. Mr Garrido has a conviction for rape, according to the Megan's Law database of child abusers. Dozens of investigators collected evidence at the couple's cordoned off home on Walnut Avenue in Antioch, near San Francisco Bay, here Miss Dugard may also have been living, 170 miles from where she was seized. A parole officer reportedly helped crack the case after receiving a tip-off that Mr Garrido had been seen with two small children on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley. Terry Probyn, Jaycee's mother, was flying to northern California from her home in the south of the state, after first receiving a call on Wednesday from the FBI telling her that a woman had turned up at police station claiming to be her daughter. It was not immediately clear when Miss Dugard had surfaced Her stepfather, Carl Probyn, who witnessed her abduction, said Jaycee's reappearance was "definitely a miracle". "You lose hope and you just want to recover something, you know?" he said, adding that the FBI had told Mrs Probyn that they "have Jaycee and the people that did this". "I'm feeling great! ... It's like winning the lotto. I've gone through hell," Mr Probyn said, conceding that police and even members of the extended family had regarded him with suspicion for months after the kidnapping. The Probyn's marriage suffered under the strain and the couple eventually separated. Mrs Probyn lives in the Los Angeles suburb of Riverside, while Mr Probyn lives in Orange County. The abduction took place on the morning of June 10, 1991. The blonde-haired, blue-eyed little girl was wearing a pink windbreaker, a white T-shirt, pink trousers and white trainers. Despite the detailed description, an extensive manhunt and numerous false sightings that raised the family's hopes, she was never seen again. The case was never closed, and was reactivated only once when a similar kidnapping occurred in Salt Lake City, Utah, 11 years later. Police never established any link between the two cases. Helen Boyer, a 78-year-old neighbour, described the Garridos as friendly. "If I needed something, they would be the first I would call on," said Mrs Boyer, who cared for Mr Garrido's elderly mother. The couple were sometimes visited by three young blonde girls who were friends of the family, she said. "They were real good neighbours," she said. "Real nice people." Ernie Allen, president of the National Centre for Missing & Exploited Children, said that the discovery of Miss Dugard reinforced figures showing that kidnappers who are not related to the child typically aren't child killers. This is true, and brings to memory the case of Wolfgang Priklopil, the austrian who kidnapped Natasha Kampusch, keeping her captive for many years. And, also in Austria, Joseph Fritzl,73, who maintained his daughter, Elizabeth, now 42, in an underground building during 24 years. It is, indeed, wonderful having a daughter back after so many years, but the time she was kept away, not being able to watch her grow, leaves a huge gap in the soul. Eventually, of all evil, the minor.Its true that uncertainty is by far more torturing than acknowleging someone's death. This is why rescue teams do their best to recover the corpses of disasters' victims.
Burying someone beloved is, in a certain way, a relief to the unspeakable suffering of ignoring a relative's destiny. Even when it's death. "The Jaycee Dugard case is huge," he said. "There are some people who assume that when a child disappears there is no hope." "This provides hope for so many searching families."
