In 1995, Doug Broomfield and his production partner Sue Smith, in partnership with the Voyagers Group and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, produced a mini-documentary, in cooperation with Terry & Carl Probyn, on the 1991 Jaycee Dugard abduction. Jaycee's story was the pilot episode for a series titled "Stolen Lives," a broadcast network program that would feature mini-documentaries on recent missing children cases.

We produced this four years after Jaycee was abducted, finding Terry still holding strong, hanging on to the hope that some day she would find her daughter. The mini-documentary was no doubt an extremely difficult one to work on given the subject matter. That inspired us even more to ensure that we told Jaycee's story with the utmost integrity. The entire production team made it their mission to share with the world her story in a compelling and honest fashion, without sensationalizing the family's journey. Though the pilot never sold to the networks, the endeavor forever changed everyone involved with the project.
14 years later, On August 26, 2009, a miracle happened, Jaycee was found. And we have no doubt that Terry never gave up the hope that she would one day find her daughter. A mother's love knows no bounds.
Though the circumstances under which Jaycee lived for 18 years during her abduction were abhorrent, and there is much healing that needed to happen, her return to her family was indeed something to be celebrated. It re-affirms our belief in faith and hope and that miracles are possible.
