Jaycee Lee Dugard’s grandmother, Wilma Probyn, has suffered along with the rest of the family for the past 18 years since 11 year old Jaycee’s abduction. In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, Probyn shares how happy she is to have Jaycee back in the family, how Jaycee, and her mom, Terry, are adjusting to her life out of captivity and how Jaycee suffers on even now.

"I speak with Terry all the time,” Probyn tells RadarOnline.com. “She is so happy to have Jaycee back. We all are.

“Terry told me that Jaycee is really amazing. That little girl still remembers all of the family as if it was yesterday. She has not forgotten a single family member.

“She is in a state of shock but Jaycee also feels guilty for not having called her mom or dad or anyone - even though she was captive!

“Terry told me that Jaycee felt guilty that she was kidnapped. She was sorry for making her mommy and daddy worry. I cried when I heard that. Terry told me that she still sees Jaycee as a child. She is having to really learn to communicate with her as an adult who has children of her own. She said that Jaycee even sounds the same.

"They are both taking it really slow. Shayna, Jaycee's sister is also up there. They are already getting close again and trying to make up for those lost years. Its a lot for Shayna to take in also.

“Terry is hoping they can go home soon but she told me she is not rushing anything. They have had lots of offers for interviews but they want to give it time. Jaycee and Terry are both very delicate right now.

"The other wonderful outcome is that Carl has overcome that shadow of suspicion that he has lived under for so long. Our friends were wonderful and believed in us - neither Carl nor I ever lost of friend because of these false accusations.

“Terry reminded me that she had never believed that Carl had taken her. Even when they separated they still remained firm friends. We have all gone on cruises and vacations together and we have all supported each other through these hard years.

“Terry really wants everyone to be a family again. But Jaycee comes first. We will work around her needs.”



Each time I hear more on this story, the more impressed I am with the strength of Jaycee - to go through all this and to come out so well adjusted (all this considered) is a testament to her character. The whole family are in my prayers. Go well.

I hope Jaycee and her family can finally find some peace and that hard swift justice is done to the monsters who did this to her.

Jaycee, there is a world of people out there, that supports you and you have no reason to feel guilty. You were a little girl. On the other hand, there is a whole lot of people who should feel guilty for dropping the ball.

Blessings to Jaycee and her family and friends. I can't imagine the horror they endured at the hands of this monster. May he rot in hell and his enabler wife too.

Poor Jaycee, I am so glad she was found now her and her family can begin the healing process. I hope her abductor gets put to death at the very least for what he did to her.
