Terry Probyn, Mother of Jaycee Lee Dugard, Missing for 18 Years, to Speak at National Crime Victims' Rights Week

Abducted in June of 1991 at the age of 11, Jaycee was held in captivity by her abductors for 18 years until August of 2009 when she and her daughters were rescued.

Now her mother, Terry Probyn, will share her experience of horror, helplessness and anguish that over time turned into hope, endurance and inspiration. Probyn has dedicated her life to helping families in similar circumstances and her work is a testimony of hope, faith and an undying effort for the rights of victims and their families.

The event will kick off with a walk from the Board of Supervisors Chambers to the Family Justice Center in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
