The police are looking into the kidnapping of two girls that have similar stories of Jaycee Dugard, and if Phillip Garrido is involved. Michaela Garecht (right in photo) was 9 years old in 1988 when she was kidnapped, just 30 miles from where Phillip Garrido lived, and only three months after he has been released from prison, according to CNN.

Michaela’s mother now has hope that perhaps her daughter is still alive. Michaela’s mother told CNN in an interview, that a week before she was kidnapped her daughter wrote a poem about people who were kidnapped and being held captive. Looking back, her mother thought it was a premonition, and the words kidnapped and captive have rung in her head ever since…not the words kidnapped and killed.

According to Michaela’s mother who told CNN, her daughter was kidnapped in a supermarket parking lot. Michaela and her friend left their scooters outside the supermarket and when they came out, one was gone. They looked around the parking lot and saw it leaning against a parked car, so Michaela went to get it, and when she was close a man grabbed her from behind, threw her into the car and drove off.

Ilene Misheloff (left in photo) was 13 when she disappeared in 1989, about 165 miles southwest of the Dugard’s home. According to CNN, police in the San Francisco area are looking into other kidnapping cases to see if they may be linked as well.
