Jaycee Dugard People Magazine Exclusively

People magazine released a current picture album of kidnap survivor Jaycee Dugard for their newest issue. Jaycee was abducted 18 years ago an held in captivity in a California basement. Now 29, Jaycee who has two daughters (fathered by her kidnapper) told the magazine: “I’m so happy to be back.”

People magazine’s managing editor, Larry Hackett, admitted they paid a pretty penny for the photos (he wouldn’t disclose the exact amount), when he sat down on “The Today Show” with Matt Lauer this morning. Jaycee’s daugters, Angel, 15 and Starlit, 11, were homeschooled by Jaycee and said to be up to snuff with peers of the same age academically.

People reports that Jaycee will probably live with her mother for a while. “Nothing,” she said. “is more important than the unconditional love and support I have from them.”
