One of my interests is reading true crime articles.  I have been interested in true crime articles and crime fiction for as long as I can remember.

The latest crime article I have been reading about is the story of Jaycee Dugard.  The 29 year old woman who was found after being kidnapped since she was 11 years old.  Imagine being away from your family, friends and a normal way of life for 18 years.  She was kidnapped longer than she had been with her family!

I look forward to reading positive developments on victims of such crimes.  It is a true inspiration to read that she had educated her two daughters with the limited resources and the adversity in which she had to grow up in. I post this article to celebrate her freedom.  She and her daughters have a very long road ahead of them in rebuilding the life that we take for granted.

Below are some of the links with updates about her.  I hope you read them and join me in the celebration of her discovery and rescue.

Since her rescue, we have not seen any photos of what she looks like now.  There are several photos of what she looked like when she was kidnapped and there are computer enhanced images to show what she may look like now.
