When she was finally contacted by a man who had taken an elevator, she sent a 6-foot-7 former Green Beret to pick her up. But instead of taking her home, she was taken to an intervention program in Idaho that she says saved her life. Three years later, she graduated from high school. Much later, she started a program she labeled “New Horizons” to help rescue troubled teenage girls like her.

Prior to Jaqueline’s adoption, her mother had suffered from several miscarriages which she hid from the public. She was first married to Robert Henry Katz in 1955, but in 1957 the union was annulled. Five years into her second marriage, she was still struggling to give birth and decided to adopt a daughter whom she named Jacqueline after her own sister.
