Jaycee Dugard appears on the cover of the October 26, 2009 issue of People magazine that will be available on newsstands today. The 29-year-old, who now has brown hair, looks more like a teenager than a woman who is nearly thiry. The new photos are the first to be published since she was abducted at the tender age of 11-years-old.
The magazine headline shouts “I’m So Happy To Be Back”. Less than two months after being reunited with her family, she has decided that it is time to let others discover who she has become. The photos of Jaycee and her daughters Angel, 14, and Starlit, 11, were taken by a private photographer.
The 10-page photo shoot took place at an undisclosed location in northern California. Most of the photos are of Jaycee and her mother Terry Probyn, with Dugard’s children only shown from the back. The young women were not interviewed for the piece but some details of her new life are shared with the magazine by people close to the situation.
