I'll be surprised if Nancy Grace doesn't talk about this truly remarkable story of a Lake Tahoe girl who was abducted in 1991 and has been found to be alive and well and is 29 years old today.

The alleged abductors are in custody.

Jaycee Dugard, who would be 29 today, walked into the Concord Police Department on Wednesday, stunning police and family members who had all but lost hope that she was still alive.

Dugard's stepfather, Carl Probyn, 60, of Orange (Orange County) told The Chronicle today that his wife, Terry, called him at about 4 p.m. Wednesday with the news he never thought possible. "She basically said, 'Are you sitting down?' I said, 'Yes.' And she said, 'They found Jaycee - she's alive."

The two, who are separated, cried for about two minutes on the phone.

But that wasn't all. Citing information provided to her by the FBI, she also had another chilling bit of information: "They have the people she was with."

There were a bunch of sheds and tents where this woman, who had two children ages 15 and 11 by this s.o.b., lived for years with the kids. Disgusting.

An elderly woman is thankful she was found in the trunk of her car after a beating and kidnapping attempt:

One of the kidnappers cleaned the victim’s carpets at her home on Resmar Place in unincorporated La Mesa last week, according to investigators. The man allegedly returned to the home on Monday, crying and saying he had broken up with his girlfriend. Police said the victim, who lives alone, let him into her house, where he attacked her, punching and choking her until she was unconscious. He then bound her with duct tape and put her in the trunk of her Dodge Magnum wagon.

When the victim woke up, two other suspects were also in the vehicle. The victim chewed through the duct tape and screamed for help while they were at a gas station, to no avail. The kidnappers then parked the car for the night, leaving the woman inside. The next day, the kidnappers returned, then drove around the County with the woman in the trunk.

Police said they tried to pull over the wagon for running a red light on Tangerine Street in El Cajon shortly after midnight Wednesday, but the driver refused to yield and eventually managed to elude officers. Shortly afterward, officers spotted the vehicle with the crooks inside, who fled on foot. Luis Osbourne, 18, was taken into custody immediately, Jeffrey Nelson, 19 and Antoinette Baker, 19, were arrested after a manhunt in the area.

Deputies found the elderly woman tied up in the back of the car.

Legimate Questions

are being asked about the Austrian justice system where there doesn't seem to be a punishment that appropriately fits the heinous crimes of Josef Fritzl.

Fifteen years is way too lenient, regardless of the likelihood he would not live out his prison term.

In this country, he would get life without parole and, if he lived in Texas or Florida, he'd even face the death penalty.

In the meantime, authorities are looking for witnesses in the case, including every person who lived in the Fritzl house over the past 24 years.
