[Even]

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Sheriff's officials said Thursday they believe a woman who walked into a police station had been kidnapped as an 11-year-old in 1991 outside her South Lake Tahoe home. Two people were arrested on suspicion of kidnapping.

The woman came into a San Francisco Bay area police station and said she was Jaycee Lee Dugard, a blond, ponytailed girl when she was abducted as she headed to a school bus stop 18 years ago, said sheriff's Lt. Les Lovell of the El Dorado Sheriff's Department.

"We're 99 percent sure it's her," Lovell said. He said DNA tests were being conducted. The woman was in good health. It was not immediately clear when she had surfaced at the station.

Seriously...but hey at least she's alive and well. You cant go wrong with that. Amazing how some things happen that way, while most kidnappings are brutal.

Have you seen some of these ways they trap the person? I remember watching the bbc news on one guy who had his daughter imprisoned in a basement "dungeon" for 25 years. This is all while the mother was living upstairs and never knew about it.

I would like to know a few things on this: 1 why did the stepfather not chase down the van? If it was me i would of hopped right in my vehicle and chased them down. 2 How long was she held captive? 3 If it was for less then the 18 years what has she been doing and what took her so long to speak up about it?

I could never in a million years imagine what her mother and stepfather had to be going through. But if it is her that is really good news for the family finally having a good closing on it.

As for her kidnappers I hope they get the worst possible punishment. I feel that the death penalty does not suffice for the male. He should have his teeth knocked out and released into a maximum security prison with child abductor tattooed on his forehead.

1 why did the stepfather not chase down the van?

If you watch the video in the article they mentioned that he hopped on his bicycle and attempted to catch them, but couldn't keep up once the van came to a large hill. He then turned around and went to one of the nearby houses to call the police.
