On June 10, 1991, as Jaycee Dugard waited for the bus to take her to school, two strangers grabbed her and pulled her into a car — and then kept her locked up in their backyard shed for 18 years. The couple who had kidnapped her, Phillip and Nancy Garrido, began referring to her as "Allissa," and Phillip Garrido subjected the young girl to an ongoing series of sexual assaults. During her time in captivity, Dugard kept a journal in which she wrote about being afraid, lonely, depressed, and feeling "unloved." "It feels like I'm sinking. I'm afraid I want control of my life," she wrote. "This is supposed to be my life to do with what I like… but once again he has taken it away. How many times is he allowed to take it away from me?"
