Kidnap clan’s cleansing step

The family of California kidnapping victim Jaycee Dugard has eliminated the vultures who were trying to profit off their misery and brought in pit- bull publicist Nancy Seltzer. “It’s clear there are many cooks in the kitchen,” said one magazine editor. “Nancy is trying to clean it up.” The family sold exclusive photos to People, which had one of its best- selling issues of all time, through a middleman who was slow to give them their share of what was said to be a relatively pal try $200,000. “Everyone has now behaved in a manner they can be proud of,” Seltzer told Page Six. But the family remains in need of money for everything from medical bills to rent to food. Big-hearted readers can send checks to the Jaycee Lee Dugard Trust, c/o Viewtech, PO Box 596, Atwood, CA 92811.
