| Jaycee Dugard was kidnapped in June 1991 in South Lake Tahoe, California, aged 11 and remained missing for more than 18 years.

Nancy Garrido got a sentence of 36 years to life. | Jaycee Dugard was kidnapped in June 1991 in South Lake Tahoe, California, aged 11 and remained missing for more than 18 years.
