A woman who was kidnapped when she was 11 years old and spent 18 years living in a network of hidden tents and sheds, giving birth to two children fathered by her captor, has been found alive and well.
Jaycee Lee Dugard, now aged 29, was reunited with her mother on Thursday after revealing during an interview with her kidnapper's parole officer that she was the victim of one of California's oldest unsolved crimes. It was her first known appearance in public since her abduction.
She 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.
"Last night a spokesman for Maddie's parents Kate and Gerry McCann, of Rothley, Leics, said they are "drawing strength" from the case". LOL!
