STOLEN: the Jaycee Dugard Case: Eighteen Years Hidden - Abduction, Discovery and System Failures That Missed Her

Eleven-year-old Jaycee Dugard was abducted on her way to a school bus stop and remained hidden for eighteen years. When she was finally found in 2009, the case exposed not only the crimes committed against her, but serious failures in the systems that were meant to monitor a convicted offender.STOLEN: The Jaycee Dugard Case reconstructs the abduction, years of captivity, discovery, investigation, prosecution and aftermath using public records, official reports, court material and published accounts.It examines the missed opportunities identified by California's Office of the Inspector General, the role of parole supervision, the dangers of institutional assumptions, and the difference between rescue and recovery.Victim-centred and evidence-led, this second volume in STOLEN: The Case Files keeps the focus where it belongs: on the survivor, the documented record and the lessons that can be learned when warning signs are seen but not understood.
