How Jaycee Dugard Was Rescued After 18 Years in Captivity

In August 2009, Jaycee Dugard was rescued after spending 18 years in captivity at the hands of Phillip and Nancy Garrido. He was sentenced to 431 years to life in prison in June 2011. Nancy was sentenced to 36 years to life, also in June 2011. They are both up for parole in 2034. Dugard’s rescue is one of many that captured America’s attention, like the lives saved in “Miracle on the Hudson” and how a New York City firefighter saved a little girl before the tragedy of September 11.
