"I’m so happy to be back,” reads the headline on the cover of the Oct. 26 issue of People magazine, which will be in stores Friday. This is the first photograph released of an adult Jaycee Dugard, since she was rescued on Aug. 26.

"I’m so happy to be back with my family,” Dugard said in a statement to the magazine. “Nothing is more important than the unconditional love and support I have from them.”

Jaycee was kidnapped in November 1991 outside her home in South Lake Tahoe by convicted sex offender Phillip Garrido and his wife, Nancy. The Garridos were taken into custody after a campus cop at University of California at Berkeley thought something was suspicious about the man who was seeking a permit to hold a religious meeting on campus.

Since being recovered, Jaycee and her two daughters, Angel, 15, and Starlit, 11, have been living with Jaycee's mother, Terry Probyn in Nothern California while the girls undergo medical and psychological evaluations.

Although Jaycee's daughters never went to school, they have been tested and are performing at grade level. Jaycee taught her daughters, despite not having gone to school beyond the fifth grade herself.

In November 2006 one of Garrido's neighbors called police to report that people were living in tents behind Garrido's home. But the officer who came never entered the house or the yard.

"We are beating ourselves up over this," Contra Costa County sheriff Warren Rupf told People. "There are absolutely no excuses."
