A California girl who was kidnapped at the age of 11 in 1991 has been found alive, having spent 18 years living in sheds and tents behind the home of her accused abductor, a convicted rapist who fathered two children with her, police said on Thursday.
Jaycee Dugard had been missing since she was snatched off a street by two people in a grey sedan while walking to a bus stop near her home in South Lake Tahoe, east of San Francisco, on June 10, 1991.
Dugard, now 29, was found after a parole officer for her accused kidnapper became suspicious, leading to a search of his home near the town of Antioch, about 100 miles (160 km) southwest of where she was abducted.
Police say the search turned up a hidden backyard within a backyard at the home of registered sex offender and convicted rapist Phillip Craig Garrido, where Dugard and the two children were confined in a series of sheds and tents.
