I have to wonder what it must be like for Sharon Murch to watch dozens of investigators scour the property of Phil and Nancy Garrido in Antioch, California.  Police are looking for any clues that coule tie the Garrido’s to the kidnapping of her daughter, Michaela Garecht, and the disappearance of another Bay Area girl, Ilene Misheloff — Two adorable children who vanished without a trace two decades ago.  Like Jaycee Dugard, Michaela has a long blonde hair and blue eyes …  she was 9-years old when she was snatched outside a supermarket in the Bay Area city of Hayward in 1988. The following year, 13-year-old Micheloff went missing from Dublin, a Bay Area city not far from Antioch. In all three cases, the girls were snatched in broad daylight … from a public place … they were whisked away in an older model Sedan that, according to eye-witness reports, was driven by a white man, and matches the description of a metallic-colored vehicle recently towed away from Phil Garrido’s house. The timing fits, too.  Phil Garrido had just been released on parole a few months before michaela & ilene disappeared, and police believe he was living in the bay area at the time. But the most startling similarity is the police artist sketch of michaela’s abductor, done in 1988. To me, and to police, it bears a striking resemblance to photos of phil garrido from about that same time, from the long hair, to the deep set eyes.. add it all up, it’s giving new hope to michaela’s mother who visited the garrido property yesterday. A purposeful woman who admits she’d given up hope before, sharon murch says garrido’s arrest, and jaycee’s safe return to her mother, is leaving her cautiously optimistic that her daughter can be found, too. With the cops dusting off old files, murch is getting in front of reporters and promoting her website dedicated to finding her daughter. We all want to hope with her, even as we know that garrido’s home has been empty since august, and there’s been no sign of michaela in two decades. It’s possible the garrido’s, or even jaycee, knows something that could help, but it’s unclear how much information they’ve provided, if any. In the meantime, investigators dig up garrido’s so-called “house of horrors,” with desperate mom’s like sharon murch waiting and hoping for any sign that their long nightmare might be over.
