Dugard was reunited with her family Thursday. Her stepfather, Carl Probyn, who was with her when she was abducted in June 1991, told the San Francisco Chronicle that the family was overjoyed at her appearance.

'She sounds normal. She told my wife she remembers everything,' Probyn said.

'I gave up hope for 18 years, just went into recovery mode,' he said. 'I thought it would be nice just to recover her and capture the people and find out why they did this. Now, I just won the lotto. It's just unbelievable. This is going to be a great day today.'
