I see what you mean but I think AlphaFrog is really just trying to understand the psychology and details behind it all.

This was also discussed on the 20/20 Jaycee Lee Duggard show last night. It discussed how she was sometimes in public and did not flee. It also discussed how they were once or twice in the house when patrol officers did their visits and Jaycee talked to patrol officers. Throughout the whole ordeal Jaycee and her daughters were 30 feet from where the patrol officers checked monthly and the patrol officers never checked in the backyard.

Right. There are several instances throughout history of kidnappings and how the victim was this><close to someone of authority and didn't act...of course out of fear, I presume. I know AlphaFrog probably didn't meant it, but I wanted to make it very clear that even if she were sitting in a room full of police officers and did nothing...this WAS NOT HER FAULT.
