Major media players are all vying for the first interview with kidnap victim Jaycee Lee Dugard and her two daughters, Starlite, 15, and Angel, 11.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Oprah Winfrey sent a personal letter to Jaycee, hoping to convince her to tell her harrowing and bizarre story on her show first.

Other sources report that beside Oprah, other top contenders for an interview with Jaycee and her daughters include Barbara Walters of ‘The View’ and Diane Sawyer of ‘Good Morning America.’

Lake Tahoe school bus stop in 1991, when she was only 11-years-old, and subsequently held captive for 18 years. Sex offender Phillip Garrido, and his wife Nancy, have pleaded not guilty to charges surrounding the case.

Garrido fathered Jaycee’s two daughters—with Jaycee giving birth to the first child in Garrido’s backyard when she was only 14-years old.

Aces Show Biz reports that a movie and book deal are likely in the works for Jaycee regarding her story.

    This would be terribly scaring for the children to tell publicly what happened, this would be an emotional abuse. I hope they turn it down. The only way to interview them is to ask them for their dreams and ideas for their future, but it would better they stay in anonymity like Elisabeth Fritzl, if not they run the risk of turning out like Natascha Kampusch.
