I also wonder how Michaela's friend who witnessed the abduction deals with this traumatic event today.
This case really haunts me.
Me too. I've been aware of it for many years now and occasionally search to find updates. I hope and pray that Michaela's mom gets answers. I'm shocked how many "valid" suspects there are in this case! And I'm deeply disturbed that when Jaycee was found that the family had so much hope she was alive too, and she wasn't there...
I never want this case to be forgotten. I want answers. I want the guy who did this to pay for what he did.
You would think the palm print they have would have been the first thing they check on this guy. I haven't heard anything else on this.
Unfortunately, if Garrido took Michaela, it doesn't look very good for her. But there's always a chance.
He has alot to lose if Michaela is dead! Now that he has had a taste of Prison, he might not want anymore charges against him. In Prison he is a target because he is a sex offender........if he is a murdering sex offender, he will be in deep trouble.
I'm sure that they did. I remember her mentioning that they showed her every one of the sex videos that PG made to verify that she was the other person in the videos. She said that it was her in every one of them. At that point, they certainly must have asked Jaycee if PG told her anything about Michaela Garecht or Irene Misheloff.
And when Jaycee visited Nancy in prison, though she did not say it in the book, I'm sure that the authorities probably asked her to try to coax that info out of Nancy. Nancy hinted at something that Phil had done that Jaycee would be disgusted by, but then stated that it was that he had tortured cats, and then changed her story and said that it was only a rat that he tortured.
I was getting the impression that Nancy was about to reveal something about a kidnapping or murder of another child, but then chickened out.
I really believe Phillip Garrido was the culprit here. I always believed Jaycee Lee Dugard and Michaela Garecht were abducted by the same person, well before Jaycee was found alive. The brazen manner of abduction in broad daylight in front of witnesses - tossing the child into the back of the car and speeding off - was almost identical. Garrido had been released from prison 3 months prior to Michaela Garecht abduction in 1988.
And if you look at picture of Jaycee & Michaela at the age of abduction, they look like they could be sisters. They are so similar. Sadly, if Garrido was the culprit, then Michaela is not alive anymore. Since they haven't found her, it is likely he disposed of her before abducting Dugard 2 years later.
philip garrido and his wife do NOT match the palm print on the scooter
I have thought for years that it was Loren Herzog who grabbed her, and I heard they checked his palm print and it didn’t match.......but did they ever check his wife “Sugar” Herzog? She was at one point attacking the victims families online after he was arrested. She could have been the one who moved the scooter, and hid in the back seat to control Michaela. Just a theory.
Loren looks like the sketch, was a meth head, nd was implicated by his partner Wesley Shermantine.
