On June 10, 1991, Jaycee Lee Dugard was abducted by Philip Garrido and his wife Nancy Garrido, as she walked to the bus stop in South Lake Tahoe.

EL DORADO COUNTY, Calif. - One of California's most notorious kidnapping cases occurred 30 years ago Thursday.

On June 10, 1991, Jaycee Lee Dugard was abducted by Philip Garrido and his wife Nancy Garrido, as she walked to the bus stop in South Lake Tahoe. She was just 11 years old when she was imprisoned at the Garrido home.

For the next 18 years, Jaycee endured unspeakable horrors at the hands of the Garridos. During her captivity, she was raped repeatedly and even gave birth to two daughters - her first when she was 14 years old and her second when she was 17 years old - all while being kept in a ramshackle dungeon in the Garridos backyard in Antioch, Calif.

Jaycee's nightmare came to an end in August 2009. In 2011, she published a book about her time in captivity titled "A stolen life." Then, in 2016, Jaycee published another book about the joys and challenges that followed her kidnapping. That book was titled "Freedom: My Book of Firsts."

Harvard University tied with Columbia University for fourth place in U.S. News & World Report's 2023 ranking of best law schools.

The rankings knock the Cambridge law school out of U.S. News' top three this year - Yale and Stanford retained the top two spots, followed by the University of Chicago. Boston University tied for 17th along with Vanderbilt and the University of Texas, while Boston College tied with a handful of schools for 37th and Northeastern University tied with several for 73rd.

The rankings were among U.S. News' annual lists of best graduate schools in law, medicine, business, education, nursing, engineering, science and other fields.

For the second year in a row, U.S. news considered average debt incurred and the percentage of graduates incurring J.D. law school debt, saying "these indicators can provide more context to prospective students, especially at a time of rising higher education costs."

This year's ranking also included more comprehensive assessments of bar passage rates of first-time test takers, accounting for performance in every state where a school's graduates first took the bar exam. In prior years, U.S. news measured this metric by solely focusing on the state where a school's graduates first took the test.

U.S. News evaluated nearly 200 law schools accredited by the American Bar Association based on the "successful placement of graduates, faculty resources, academic achievements of entering students, and opinions by law schools, lawyers and judges on overall program quality" between fall 2021 and early 2022, the outlet said in a news release.

Robert Morse, chief data strategist at U.S. News, said in a statement that the overall graduate school rankings followed a "robust data-collection process" including surveys of at least 2,100 programs and more than 23,000 academics and professionals.

In a repeat of last year's rankings, Harvard and the Sloan School of Management at Massachusetts Institute of Technology tied for 5th place in U.S. News' business school rankings.

Boston College tied with Texas A&M and Southern Methodist University for 41st best business schools.

The Questrom School of Business at Boston University tied for 47th along with William and Mary, University of Wisconsin, University of South Carolina and the University of Arizona.
