Dugard told the magazine

“I’m so happy to be back with my family. Nothing is more important than the unconditional love and support that I have from them.”

Jaycee Dugard was 11 years old in 1991 when she was snatched from a street near her home while walking on a street near her South Lake Tahoe home. Convicted rapist and registered sex offender Phillip Garrido, 58, is charged along with his wife, Nancy, 54, with abducting Dugard and holding her captive in a squalid compound of tents and sheds behind their home. Authorities say Garrido is the father of her two young daughters.

The 10-page article in People Magazine is accompanied by many pictures of Dugard and her mother. Dugard’s daughters are shown only from the back.

Matt Lauer asked People’s managing editor, Larry Hackett, if the magazine paid for the photographs, which were taken by a private photographer engaged by the family.

“We have bought photographs in the past,” Hackett said, apparently confirming that the family was paid for the pictures. “I don’t want to go into the details.”
