SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Sheriff's officials said Thursday they believe a woman who walked into a police station had been kidnapped as an 11-year-old in 1991 outside her South Lake Tahoe home.
The woman came into the Concord police station and said she was Jaycee Lee Dugard, the victim of the abduction 18 years ago, said sheriff's Lt. Les Lovell of the El Dorado Sheriff's Department.
"We're 99 percent sure it's her," Lovell said. He said DNA tests were being conducted. It was not immediately clear when she had surfaced at the station.

Amazing, if in fact this is her.

I hope for the family's sake that it is true and not a hoax. It has happened before (http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/07/31/missing.girl/index.html).

Wow. Can you imagine how the mom feels?

I hope it is her! Can you imagine how her parents felt? And how they feel now? These cases NEVER end like this. I'm so happy for them.

The unnamed authorities also told the TV station that the victim, Jaycee Lee Dugard, bore several children for the sex offender, Phillip Garrido, 58, and they said Garrido and his wife, Nancy, 54, held Dugard in a shed or other structure in the backyard.
