Jaycee's Other Family
ORIGINAL AIRDATE: 9/8/2009
INSIDE EDITION talks to the other family of Jaycee Dugard...the one she never knew existed.
Jaycee's half-sisters and her biological father are speaking out for the first time, exclusively to INSIDE EDITION.
"We want to know her, we want her in our lives," says Brittney Slayton.
Sarrah Slayton says,"I'm just as curious as my sister is. This is all just a shock. We'd really like to know who she is."
Ken Slayton is a 64-year-old retired truck driver who lives outside Los Angeles.
He told INSIDE EDITION that 30 years ago he had a relationship with Jaycee's mom Terry that only lasted a month.
After they broke up, she told him she was pregnant with Jaycee.
Slayton says, "She told me I was the father. That's the last time that I talked to her, heard from her."
"Did you ever meet Jaycee?" asks INSIDE EDITION'S Jim Moret.
"Never met Jaycee," says Slayton.
*SNIP*
When Jaycee disappeared, Ken was married and had two other daughters, Sarrah, now 24, and Brittney, 21.

"When she was abducted, obviously we were too young to understand what happened," Brittney says.
Sarrah says, "We always thought she was dead."
Then came the astonishing news that Jaycee was alive, and had been kept a prisoner in a backyard all these years, and that she has two daughters. They are Ken Slayton's granddaughters.
"It's so overwhelming I can't even deal with it," says Slayton.
*SNIP*
Now Jaycee's other family hopes they can welcome her and her two daughters into their family someday.
Moret asks, "What do you want Jaycee to know?"
"I want her to know that we're here for her when she's ready," says Brittney.

IMO, I don't think it's at all right to be calling them "Jaycee's other family".
