Missing girl 'found 18 years on'
Jaycee Lee Dugard was said to have been grabbed off the street A woman who walked into a US police station claiming she was kidnapped 18 years ago is likely to be telling the truth, police in California say.
DNA tests were being carried out, local police said, with officers almost certain that the results will back up the woman's story.
Jaycee Lee Dugard disappeared in 1991, aged 11, from outside her Lake Tahoe home, apparently taken by two men.
Two men are reported to have been taken into custody, US reports say.
Police in California are due to hold a news conference later on Thursday, at which there is widespread expectation they will formally confirm that Ms Dugard is alive and well.
Her stepfather, Carl Probyn, told ABC News in the US that her family is now convinced that she has been found.

Gotta hear the full story behind this one.
You have to wonder why she did not come forward earlier.
I'm dreading it.
Two men taken into custody? WTF has been going for 18 years?!
Well, Teddy’s dead, but they can still prosecute Dodd!
I don’t want to know what’s been going on in this poor girl’s life for 18 years. I have a terrible feeling it will be gruesome. The evil that men do...
The person living in the same house with her is a registered sex offender:

Identity confirmed. Two arrested, raided home has a sex offender address...
I hate to think what this girl has endured for years on end.
Poor soul.
I will add her to my prayer list, she's much in need, naturally but even more so as people will suspect her of "wrongdoing" and imagine how they would have escaped, etc. The usual armchair stuff of blaming the victim, when one can only truly understand if one is ever in that condition.
...and women too apparently.
Geez, ya beat me by 22 seconds.
Ya gotta be on your toes in Freeper Land, I tell ya...
Post # 5 had a lot of info.
Don’t lay this on all men. These two dudes are evil and that’s that. Most men are nice. By the way, have you ever watched Forensic Files? There’s plenty of creepy women in this world, too!!!
I’ve read more. It was a man and a woman who did this. They’ve charged theman wih everything imaginable and the woman with Kidnapping. Come-on....only kidnapping?!! I’m just saying, it’s not only men who do strange things. Don’t go stereotyping.....
Have you ever heard the term “mankind”?
We don’t say “man- and womankind”.
Have you ever heard of that Bill Shakespeare guy?
He actually coined the phrase a while back.

I feel very ill.
But I am happy she is still alive after 18 years
Ok.....I get it. :>
