Fundraiser Concert for Jaycee Lee Dugard


http://renotahoe.about.com/b/2009/09/17/fundraiser-concert-for-jaycee-lee-dugard.htm

The community of South Lake Tahoe is holding a fundraiser this Sunday, September 20, for kidnap victim Jaycee Lee Dugard. The concert will be at the Horizon Casino's Convention Center from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. The event is titled "Building New Bridges" and everyone is invited to come celebrate her safe return after 18 years as a captive. Funds raised will bolster the fund Dugard and her family will need to begin the long recovery from this horrific experience.
Bands playing at the concert will include The Movers, The Garcia Brothers, Big Red Band, Turquoise and more. There will also be food, a cash bar and silent auction items from South Lake Tahoe lodging properties, restaurants and area activities. Local businesses who have donated their time and services include Horizon Casino & Resort, Lake Tahoe Gaming Alliance, Tahoe Beach & Ski, Lake Tahoe Soroptimists, and the performing artists.

Residents Kathie Garcia and Fionn Lambert are hosting the event. "I've lived here a long time, and Jaycee's disappearance 18 years ago had a significant impact on our community," said Garcia. "I wanted to raise funds to help Jaycee in her recovery process and I thought a concert would be an excellent way to bring people together. I've reached out to the leaders in our community to participate and the response has been overwhelming - it will truly be a memorable event."

Tickets are $25 for adults. Children 11 and under are free. Tickets are available online from Ticketmaster, at the door, or by calling the Horizon box office at (775) 588-6211.

The "Building New Bridges" event will benefit the Jaycee Dugard Family Fund. You can also make donations to the fund at Bank of the West, 2161 Lake Tahoe Blvd., South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150. For more information call Kathie Garcia at (530) 542-4354

...I still can not think that two police departments would be spending this kind of $$$ without something to go on other than hunches...

Hayward PD has a palmprint from Michaela's scooter of her abductor. Obtaining a palmprint of Garrido is easily done and the results of the comparison would be both quick and inexpensive. Does anyone think that Hayward, Dublin and the other LE agencies would be putting this much effort and this much expense into something without first doing the cheap/quick step of comparing the palmprints? :waitasec:

(Look for this question to asked today at the 4pm briefing.) :angel:

I've had the same thought. I'm assuming the briefing is 4pm CA time? (8 pm here) do you happen to know if it's going to be broadcasted on the internet?
 
Yes, 4pm PST. I do not know specifically if it will be live on the internet, but I know that Channel 10 Sacramento has shown these in the past live online.

It's 4PM PST, which should be 7PM EST. It also should be posted on KRON4.com, they had the morning conference, and they are the local station with the best coverage of the cases...
 
Has anything happened? Has there been a press conference???

No, its only 3pm PST now. It will start in about an hour.

Since the dog especially trained for finding human bones (as compared to the dogs trained to sniff out more recently bodies used yesterday) are now not going to be used until next week, I do not expect any bombshells from the search, just a general update. However, I am curious to see any comments about the palmprint - if the question gets asked today.

I find it disconcerting that we are now relying only on dogs for results of this search. I hate to be so cynical but what on earth are the humans doing here??? I hope that someone (anyone) begins to break through this case soon!

PS. No disrespect for the dogs - I hold them in the utmost...I just keep finding myself completely disillusioned by their human counterparts in this case!
 
Actually, I have been impressed by this round of searches and the agencies involved. In addition to the dogs, they have numerous people literally on hands and knees combing each square inch of the property - not only Hayward and Dublin PD's, but other unrelated agencies and trained individuals who have volunteered their time. They are methodically dismantling any outbuildings and removing obstacles so that ground penetrating radar can be used to look for clues at a depth of twenty feet below the ground.

I am not sure what else they could do besides what is already being done. The only complaint that I have is that the property was not adequately secured between the first search and this series of searches - I hope that does not raise "chain of custody" issues at trial.

Do you know how reliable the dogs are in determining human from animal bones? When I heard that a small bone was found in the initial search I didn't think much of it. What large back yard wouldn't have bones in the soil? If the dogs are reliable though, that's another story.

Also, could they have DNA results from that bone fragment back by now? Could that be why they returned to search?
 
Dr. D - I hope that your observations about this search are correct and that they are being carried out with professionalism and with documentation...The first one (search) seems to have been carrried out in a very haphazzard manner.

Waiting patiently for the next news conference/update...

MOO

O.J.'s lawyers used this tactic very successfully at his murder trial, planting seeds of doubt in the jurors' minds. The race card they played later and the "problems" with the glove were just icing on the cake.

I really hope this trial will not be televised! That could be the biggest circus ever seen in a courtroom. Can you imagine PG up there on the stand preaching to the world his insane "religious" mission?

Something tells me we won't see any problems with "jury nullification" in this case!!!
 
Palm print from Michaela's scooter does not match either Garrido. Where dogs hit is an area of interest they will dig...
 
Neighbors ran off trespassers- teenagers and kids
 
Briefing and info from LE:

2 more teams of dogs Monday.
More radar.
Might start digging Monday afternoon.

Monday press updates 9 am and 4 pm

cadaver dogs for human remains
bone dogs for archelogal remains

no dogs there today

they are not tearing down the house
may have to pull down sheetrock or pull up flooring
doesn't think they'll take it down at this point

all dogs and technology at this point
technological to look underflooring and into walls

area of interest is on exterior of garrido property but not where they knocked down the shed

boxes and boxes of his writings will be reviewed off site for significance will take time

partial palm print not a match

have had treaspassing incidents, teenagers and kids, neighbors ran them off the property


GPR questions being answered by
Archaelogoist Bill Silva, B.A. Silva Sensing System
Diablo Green Environmental Consulting

GPR will show difference in density of soil.
Will also show metal remains (like jewelry)

Optimal soil conditions - sandy (not clay)

Regarding anamolies, GPR is specifically looking for density - a pit. In this case they have an anomoly that is denser than the area.
They have 2 things that say there is something in a specific location.

they look at morphology of the bones (animal bones tend to be more dense than human bones)

Yeah, Walnut Avenue means there were walnut trees in the pictures they're looking at from 1901.

Silva using 3D software to look layer by layer to see where it is.

GPR and Magnonmetry sees similar things but different aspects.
GPR sees pit.
Magnometer sees material that builds the pit.
Plus, the dogs = 3 lines of data.

Prelim data shows its seeing down 9 feet.
Something else shows 24 feet (missed this, was shushing my sister)

Silva's first crime scene he's been able to help on. Treating it like a prehistoric site.

Just like a pre-historic digs they are looking to see if there is an extended burial site where they're are laid out, or bunched up. That's what they are looking at.

QUESTION: It sounds like he confirmed there are bodies there????
