Jaycee Dugard - Missing

Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance
Missing Since: June 10, 1991 from South Lake Tahoe, California
Classification: Non-Family Abduction
Date Of Birth: May 3, 1980
Age: 11 years old
Height and Weight: 4'6, 80 pounds
Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian female. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Dugard had a gap between her upper front teeth at the time of her 1991 disappearance. She has a chicken pox scar between her eyes, a brown butterfly-shaped birthmark on her right arm below her elbow, and moles on her back.
Clothing/Jewelry Description: A pink windbreaker, pink stretch pants, a white t-shirt and white canvas sneakers.

Details of Disappearance
Dugard was last seen walking to her school bus stop on Washoan Boulevard in her hometown of South Lake Tahoe, California on June 10, 1991. A gray two-tone 1980 mid-sized Ford or Mercury sedan, possibly a Ford Grenada, Mercury Monarch or Mercury Zephyr, made a u-turn on the street where Dugard was walking between 8:05 and 8:15 a.m. An unidentified man and woman were inside the vehicle. The woman grabbed Dugard and forced her inside the car, then the vehicle sped from the scene. Dugard's stepfather heard her scream and witnessed the abduction from inside their house and proceeded to chase the vehicle while riding a bicycle, but the suspects were able to escape. Dugard has never been seen or heard from again. She was only about 150 yards away from her home when she was abducted.
Sketches of the female suspect in Dugard's abduction are posted below this case summary, along with a sketch of the vehicle. The woman is described as having long black hair and a dark complexion. The suspect was approximately 32 years old in 1991 and stood five feet, five inches tall.
Investigators believe Dugard may have been taken across the state line into Nevada after her abduction. There was also a sighting of her in Fallen Leaf, California, about three miles from where she was taken. Dugard's biological father was quickly ruled out as a suspect; at the time of her abduction, he did not even know where she was living.
James Anthony Daveggio has been considered as a possible suspect in Dugard's abduction since the early 1990s. He and his former girlfriend, Michelle Lyn Michaud, were charged with the 1997 abduction, rape and murder of Vanessa Lei Swanson. Swanson's remains were discovered approximately five miles from the site of Dugard's 1991 abduction. Photos of Daveggio and Michaud are posted below this case summary. They were also charged with additional counts of sexual assault in unrelated cases in the mid-1990s. In 2002, Michaud and Daveggio were convicted of Swanson's murder and sentenced to death. They are awaiting execution.
Michaud claims that she met Daveggio in 1996 and therefore was not involved in Dugard's abduction. There are striking similarities between Michaud and the female suspect in Dugard's case. However, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has created a timeline tracing Michaud and Daveggio's whereabouts over the 1980s and 1990s and they say the pair could not have abducted Dugard.
Daveggio is also considered a possible suspect in the disappearances of Amber Swartz-Garcia, Michaela Garecht and Ilene Misheloff. Neither he nor Michaud has been charged in connection with any of the disappearances.
A defrocked priest named Stephen Kiesle became a suspect in Dugard's abduction in mid-2002. He was suspected because has since been arrested and charged with molesting three girls at the Santa Paula Catholic Church in Fremont, where he worked from 1968 to 1971. Kiesle did not know Dugard and denies any involvement in her case. Police searched his yard three times, using cadaver-sniffing dogs, radar, and a backhoe. They were looking not only for evidence in Dugard's disappearance but also evidence in the 1989 kidnapping of Amber Swartz-Garcia. They found no clues pertaining to either case and the searches concluded in July 2002.
Authorities have also investigated the possibility that Brian David Mitchell and his wife, Wanda Barzee, abducted Dugard. Photographs of Mitchell and Barzee are posted below this case summary. They are charged with the abduction and sexual assault of fourteen-year-old Elizabeth Smart of Salt Lake City, Utah. Smart was kidnapped from her bedroom in June 2002 and held captive for nine months before being rescued in March 2003. Mitchell, also known as David Emmanuel Isiah, has bizarre religious beliefs and reportedly thought God told him to make Smart his wife.
The police are investigating similarities between Smart's and Dugard's cases. The two victims physically resemble each other, and Dugard's stepfather says Barzee resembles the woman he saw abduct Dugard. Mitchell and Barzee have not been charged in connection to Dugard's abduction, however, and authorities are not certain if either was involved.
Dugard remains missing. Pink was her favorite color at the time she disappeared. Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone that has information about Jaycee.

Missing Tahoe girl may have been found alive 18 years after disappearance
F.T Norton

Bay area newspapers are reporting that a woman, claiming to be Jaycee Dugard, who was 11 when she was apparently adbucted from Meyers, in El Dorado County, on June 10, 1991, walked into a Concord-area police station Wednesday afternoon.

According to the San Jose Mercury News, Dugard's stepfather, Carl Probyn, said Dugard's mother, Terry Probyn, spoke with the woman claiming to be her missing daughter and is en route to Northern California from her Riverside County home.

Jaycee was abducted while walking to the bus stop on Washoan Boulevard. The kidnapping drew national attention but never was solved.

"That was a very long, very taxing investigation," former El Dorado County Sheriff's Sgt. Jim Watson said in an interview with the Tribune in June 2005.

Watson, the initial lead investigator in the case, retired in 2005.

Probyn told the Mercury that the people responsible for the disappearance are in custody, but that could not be immediately confirmed, according to the newspaper.

More details will be posted as they become available.

South Lake Tahoe Girl Missing for 18 Years Reportedly Alive
Posted: Aug 27, 2009 9:54 AM CDT

Police in California have a possible break in the kidnapping of an 11-year-old girl from South Lake Tahoe 18-years ago.

Police say a woman walked into a Contra Costa County law enforcement office Wednesday, claiming to be Jaycee Lee Dugard, who's been missing since 1991.

Dugard was just 11 years old when she was last seen just 150 yards away from her home as she walked to her bus stop in South Lake Tahoe around 8:05 a.m. on June 10, 1991.

If Jaycee Lee Dugard is alive, she is now 29-years old.

Dugard's mother, Terry Probyn, is flying to Northern California today to meet with the woman who claims to be her missing daughter.

Probyn says the FBI told her they have Jaycee -- and the people responsible.

A press conference is expected this afternoon in Placerville where police will release more information on the investigation.

Jaycee Lee Dugard, kidnapped from South Tahoe in 1991, believed to be alive
News10 Sacramento • August 27, 2009

EL DORADO COUNTY, CA - The stepfather of Jaycee Dugard, the South Lake Tahoe 11-year-old girl abducted from in 1991, told News10 Wednesday night that family members believe authorities have found the now 29-year-old Jaycee alive.

"It's an absolute miracle if it is her...can you imagine this after 18 years?," Probyn said in a telephone interview.

The amazing news of Dugard's return came after a Concord police officer confirmed to News10 that local agencies were investigating the claims of a woman who allegedly walked into a Contra Costa County law enforcement office Wednesday and said she was kidnapped 18 years ago.

An FBI agent leaving Concord Police headquarters Wednesday night said the Bureau was involved in the case, but would not comment on any details of the investigation.

"There will be a press conference tomorrow," the unidentified agent told reporters. "We're working it."

The El Dorado County Sheriff's Department is planning to hold a news conference Thursday to discuss the case, according to El Dorado County Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Bryan Golmitz. News10.net will provide a stream of the news conference live.

Probyn, a contractor who now lives in the southern California community of Orange, said Jaycee's mother Terry received a call at her job with the Riverside School District from the FBI Wednesday afternoon.

Probyn said the agent on the phone identified himself and said, "We've got Jaycee."

Terry then had a phone conversation with the woman authorities believed to be her long-lost daughter, a conversation that left Terry "positive" that Jaycee was home, Probyn said.

He said his wife thought Jaycee sounded normal and not like she was mistreated over the last 18 years. Terry said that "(Jaycee) remembered a lot," according to Probyn, who was in "complete shock that (Jaycee) is alive."

Terry Probyn told Carl that the FBI didn't get into where Jaycee was or who she was with for the past 18 years, but said "she was with some people and...they are in custody." Probyn said he had no idea about the identity of those "people."

"I told my wife I want those responsible to be taken down, no deals at all," Probyn said.

Dugard was just 11 years old when she was last seen just 150 yards away from her home as she walked to her bus stop in South Lake Tahoe around 8:05 a.m. on June 10, 1991.

Carl Probyn said from inside his home, he saw a man and a woman in a two-tone gray, late-model sedan make a U-turn on Washeon Boulevard, then saw the woman in the car grab Jaycee and pull her inside.

Investigators at the time believed Dugard may have been taken across state lines into Nevada after her abduction. Despite at least one alleged sighting immediately following her disappearance, Dugard was not seen again -- until Wednesday.

Of the past two decades since Jaycee's disappearance, Probyn said, "It's like having heart surgery and not being sewn up. Your heart just aches."

Carl Probyn said the stress, pain and trauma of Jaycee's abduction destroyed the Probyns' marriage. The pair are separated, but Probyn said they remain friends, living 40 miles apart.

Probyn said Terry and the couple's 19-year-old daughter Shayna were flying to northern California Thursday morning to reunite with Jaycee.

Along Washeon Boulevard Wednesday night, South Lake Tahoe residents who heard about the developments in the case were hopeful these latest events would bring closure to 18 years of unanswered questions.

"I remember my sister was in (Jaycee's) class in the fifth grade when it happened," said resident Sara Esposito. "I'm just blown away."

David Watkins, who bought Jaycee Dugard's family home on Washeon in 1998, said the spectre of Jaycee's disappearance still lingers in the nieghborhood.

"You hear about it every year. Someone says something...'What happened to her? What's going on with her?,'" Watkins said. "Maybe it'll put an end to everything finally."

CONCORD, Calif. -- A young woman walked into an East Bay station and announced that she was Jaycee Lee Dugard – the girl who was snatched by an abductor from a Lake Tahoe area school bus stop in 1991.

Dugard’s stepfather -- Carl Probyn – told KTVU that the girl’s mother got a stunning phone call at work Wednesday from the FBI.

“She got a call from the FBI, they said they had found JC and she was alive,” he said in a phone interview from the couple’s Riverside County home. “They put her (the woman) on the phone. My wife talked with her and is convinced she is Jaycee. Jaycee remembers everything.”

Terry Probyn then called her former husband.

“My wife called me about 4 and asked me if I was sitting down,” said Probyn, whose marriage broke up in the wake of the abduction. “They found Jaycee They found her alive.”

He added that the FBI also said they had the “people responsible” for the abduction. Authorities said they have two people in custody in relation to the case.

Carl Probyn said Terry was enroute to the Bay Area to be reunited with her daughter. Authorities planned a news conference for later in the morning to reveal more details about the case.

The call ended an 18-year nightmare for Dugard.

"After 18 years you do give up hope, this is a miracle," he told KTVU.

On the morning of June 10, 1991, Jaycee was dressed in a pink top and pink pants when she left her family’s South Lake Tahoe home to catch her school bus.

As Carl Probyn looked on from the family’s driveway two blocks away, a gray sedan pulled up and someone yanked Jaycee into the car and sped off.

Even though the local police were quick to respond and there were witnesses, Jaycee was never found.

In 2002, authorities search of the Truckee vacation property of a defrocked priest living in the Bay Area, but found no evidence of the girl.

18 years later, kidnapped woman turns up alive
Henry K. Lee,Jaxon Van Derbeken, Chronicle Staff Writers
Thursday, August 27, 2009

(08-27) 11:00 PDT CONCORD --

A woman kidnapped as an 11-year-old girl nearly two decades ago from outside her South Lake Tahoe home surfaced Wednesday when she and the couple now accused of snatching her walked into a Concord police station, authorities said today.

The reappearance of Jaycee Dugard stunned family members, who had all but lost hope that she was still alive 18 years after she was kidnapped on her way to catch a school bus as her stepfather watched helplessly.

Law-enforcement sources said Phillip Craig Garrido, 58, of Antioch and his wife, Nancy Garrido, 55, were arrested in connection with the case. Phillip Garrido was being held in lieu of $1 million bail at Contra Costa County Jail in Martinez on suspicion of kidnapping, rape by force, lewd and lascivious acts with a minor, sexual penetration and conspiracy.

Nancy Garrido was being held on suspicion of conspiracy and kidnapping. Her bail was also $1 million.

The couple were arrested after they walked into the police station with Dugard to ask a question, authorities said. They would not say what the question involved, but it apparently aroused the suspicions of a Concord police officer.

The officer ran a criminal history check of Phillip Garrido and found out he was a registered sex offender, authorities said. State records show that he has a conviction for rape by force, and federal records show him serving a stint in federal prison in Leavenworth, Kan., in the 1980s.

It is still unclear how police learned that the woman who was with the Garridos was Dugard, but her relatives are beside themselves with joy.

"I gave up hope for 18 years, just went into recovery mode," said her stepfather, Carl Probyn, a wallpaper contractor. "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."

Probyn, 60, who now lives in Orange (Orange County), said his wife, Terry, called him at about 4 p.m. Wednesday with the news.

"She basically said, 'Are you sitting down?' I said, 'Yes.' And she said, 'They found Jaycee - she's alive.' "

The two, who are separated, cried for about two minutes on the phone.

Terry Probyn was able to speak on the phone with her daughter. "She sounds normal. She told my wife she remembers everything," Carl Probyn said.

Terry Probyn, who also now lives in Southern California, was on her way to the Bay Area to reunite with her daughter.

FBI agents were searching the Garridos' home today on Walnut Avenue in Antioch.

Police have declined to comment, referring inquiries to the El Dorado County sheriff's office. A news conference is scheduled for this afternoon in Placerville.

Dugard was last seen June 10, 1991, as she was walking to a bus stop in South Lake Tahoe. The blond, blue-eyed 11-year-old, wearing a pink top and pink pants, was going to catch the bus to her school near South Lake Tahoe. She never made it.

As Carl Probyn watched from the family's driveway on a hill about two blocks away, a two-tone gray sedan pulled up and someone yanked the girl into the car and sped off. Even though officers responded within minutes, no trace of the car or girl was ever found - until Wednesday.

The stepfather said Shayna Probyn called Wednesday about 4 p.m. and said, "Mom has something to say to you. Are you sitting down?"

His wife told him: "They found Jaycee. She is alive."

The couple then cried for about 10 minutes as they spoke to each other. Probyn said agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation called his wife at work and told her that they had Jaycee. Thinking it was a joke, she told the caller she did not appreciate what she thought was a ruse.

The FBI then put the young woman on the telephone.

"My wife said that who she spoke to remembers everything," Carl Probyn said. "My wife and Jaycee were joined at the hip."

He said he followed media accounts of a young woman walking into an Antioch, Calif., police station and then was taken to the Concord Police station.

Probyn was the last person to see Jaycee on the day she disappeared. He took four lie detector tests and endured suspicion of involvement in the abduction for nearly two decades.

"The FBI put me through the wringer, being questioned and having people say the stepdad did something," he said. "I have been kind of the villain these past 18 years."

Probyn said he has always had a spotless record.

"I'm an Vietnam vet and have never spent a day in my life in jail," he said. "My last speeding ticket was in 1977."

Probyn said he eventually lost hope that they would ever see his stepdaughter alive.

"Then you pray that you get her body back so there is an ending," he said. "To have this happen where we get her back alive, and where she remembers things from the past, and to have people in custody is a triple win. It's like winning the Lotto."

Terry Probyn took a 6 a.m. flight to meet her daughter somewhere in Northern California. Carl Probyn said he wants his wife and their daughter, Shayna, to have time with Jaycee before he meets her again.

"It's a shock for Shayna to meet the half-sister she never knew," he said.

Probyn said that about three weeks ago, Shayna told him that two sheriff's deputies, presumably from El Dorado County, who work on cold cases, had visited his wife. It was his understanding that they were going to re-open Jaycee's case.

"To have this happen, where she walks into a police station, is really a miracle to get her back," said Probyn. "And she sounds like she is doing okay. I don't know if she is married. I don't know if a cult took her, or if a couple who didn't have kids took her. I'll find out today all these answers."

Sex offender's neighborhood searched for clues to girl's 1991 abduction
By Bill Lindelof and Kim Minugh

Published: Thursday, Aug. 27, 2009 - 11:29 am
Last Modified: Thursday, Aug. 27, 2009 - 11:49 am

Police and the FBI were searching the Antioch neighborhood of a 58-year-old convicted rapist and registered sex offender this morning, apparently in connection with the 1991 abduction of 11-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard, who surfaced alive in the Bay Area on Wednesday after disappearing for 18 years.

Authorities were swarming the neighborhood on Walnut Avenue in Antioch where Phillip Craig Garrido, a 6-foot, 4-inch, 196-pound registered sex offender lives. Garrido is listed on the state's Megan's Law sex offender Web site as being convicted of rape.

The search came amid reports out of the Bay Area that authorities had detained two people in Martinez in connection with the Dugard abduction.

The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office this morning confirmed the identity of the 29-year-old woman who walked into a Bay Area police station claiming to be Dugard.

Further, in an extraordinary sequence of events today, federal and local law agencies renewed their focus on the 18-year-old mystery of what happened to the blond, blue-eyed girl who was abducted while walking to school June 10, 1991.

El Dorado County sheriff's officials were preparing to release details on the case at a 3 p.m. press conference, but the girl's stepfather confirmed to The Bee early today that Jaycee had resurfaced and was being reunited with her mother today.

Carl Probyn, Jaycee's stepfather, said his wife and daughter were flying to Northern California to meet Dugard and that his wife, Terry, spoke with the young woman by phone Wednesday night.

The Probyns, who are separated, live in Southern California, Carl in Orange County and Terry in Riverside. Terry Probyn and their daughter, Shayna, 19, boarded a 6 a.m. flight to the Bay Area to meet with Dugard, Carl Probyn said.

Probyn said he is elated.

"I'm just pleased that she is alive and well," said Probyn, a 60-year-old Orange County wallpaper contractor.

Probyn, who has yet to speak with his stepdaughter, said he believes suspects who might have been involved with the abduction are in custody.

Dugard's disappearance prompted a massive search, nationwide publicity and one of the largest police investigations in the region.

Dugard was on her way to school when authorities said she was pulled into a stranger's car just a block away from her South Lake Tahoe home.

Probyn said he heard her scream and saw a man and a woman drive his stepdaughter away in a gray two-tone sedan.

Despite several false sightings, Dugard was never seen again.

One person in the car was described as a 30-year-old woman with long, dark hair. Jaycee was last seen dressed in a pink windbreaker, white T-shirt and pink stretch pants.

The stepfather said Shayna Probyn called Wednesday about 4 p.m. and said, "Mom has something to say to you. Are you sitting down?"

His wife told him: "They found Jaycee. She is alive."

The couple then cried for about 10 minutes as they spoke to each other. Probyn said agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation called his wife at work and told her that they had Jaycee. Thinking it was a joke, she told the caller she did not appreciate what she thought was a ruse.

The FBI then put the young woman on the telephone.

"My wife said that who she spoke to remembers everything," Carl Probyn said. "My wife and Jaycee were joined at the hip."

He said he followed media accounts of a young woman walking into an Antioch police station and then was taken to the Concord Police station.

Probyn was the last person to see Jaycee on the day she disappeared. He took four lie detector tests and endured suspicion of involvement in the abduction for nearly two decades.

"The FBI put me through the wringer, being questioned and having people say the stepdad did something," he said. "I have been kind of the villain these past 18 years."

Probyn said he has always had a spotless record.

"I'm an Vietnam vet and have never spent a day in my life in jail," he said. "My last speeding ticket was in 1977."

Probyn said he eventually lost hope that they would ever see his stepdaughter alive.

"Then you pray that you get her body back so there is an ending," he said. "To have this happen where we get her back alive, and where she remembers things from the past, and to have people in custody is a triple win. It's like winning the Lotto."

Terry Probyn took a 6 a.m. flight to meet her daughter somewhere in Northern California. Carl Probyn said he wants his wife and their daughter, Shayna, to have time with Jaycee before he meets her again.

"It's a shock for Shayna to meet the half-sister she never knew," he said.

Probyn said that about three weeks ago, Shayna told him that two sheriff's deputies, presumably from El Dorado County, who work on cold cases, had visited his wife. It was his understanding that they were going to re-open Jaycee's case.

"To have this happen, where she walks into a police station, is really a miracle to get her back," said Probyn. "And she sounds like she is doing okay. I don't know if she is married. I don't know if a cult took her, or if a couple who didn't have kids took her. I'll find out today all these answers."

Bee researcher Pete Basofin contributed to this report.

Ayesha Thomas
2 mins ago

SACRAMENTO, CA -- News10 has learned new details about how investigators uncovered the fact that Jaycee Dougard was alive and well nearly 20 years after she was kidnapped.

An unnamed source told News10 they received a call Wednesday from a detective in the Bay Area who said "I've got Jaycee Dugard sitting across the table from me."

According to investigators, Jaycee Duggard came into a police station in Contra Costa County with a couple on an unrelated matter.

The officer at the front desk was suspicious of the man and ran his name, which came back as a registered sex offender.

Sources told News10 Phillip Garrido, 58, was in the South Lake Tahoe area the day Jaycee disappeared.

More information about the investigation is expected to be released at a press conference on the investigation will take place at 3 p.m.

Meanwhile, ABC News has learned that Jaycee Dugard is the mother of two children.

ANTIOCH - Sources tell FOX40 News the victim of a 1991 kidnapping was used as a sex slave for a convicted sex offender and his wife.

Authorities tell FOX40 kidnap victim Jaycee Lee Dugard had two children fathered by the suspect, sex offender Phillip Garrido.

Officials were searching the Antioch home of Phillip Garrido Thursday afternoon. The kidnap victim was held captive in a backyard facility or shed.

Dugard walked into a Concord police station 18 years after she was abducted from a bus stop near her home in Meyers. While authorities are certain the woman is Dugard, DNA tests are being conducted with results available as soon as Friday afternoon.

Neighbors told FOX40's Darsha Phillips that while Garrido was frequently seen at the home, they didn't see any sign that Dugard lived there.

A press conference is scheduled with the El Dorado County Sheriff's Department at 3PM today. FOX40.com will stream the press conference live.

CDCR Parole Agents Help Uncover 18-year-old Mystery Concerning Kidnapping of Jaycee Lee Dugard

http://i27.tinypic.com/2555l79.jpg
Phillip Garrido: image submitted 8-26-09

SACRAMENTO - The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's (CDCR) Division of Adult Parole Operations helped to uncover a nearly 18-year-old mystery concerning the kidnapping of Jaycee Lee Dugard, who was 11 years old when she was last seen as she walked to her bus stop in South Lake Tahoe, California, on June 10, 1991.

On August 26, 2009, a CDCR parole agent brought in parolee Phillip Garrido for questioning. The day before, suspicious activity had been reported when Garrido, a registered sex offender, was seen with two small children at U.C. Berkeley.

CDCR involved the Concord Police Department to assist in determining the identity of the two children and an adult female who accompanied Garrido to CDCR's parole office in Concord. The diligent questioning and follow up by the parolee's agent of record led to Garrido revealing his kidnapping of the adult female. It was further revealed by Garrido that she was Jaycee Lee Dugard and that the children were his.

Garrido and his wife were arrested and transported to the Concord Jail. The FBI with the full cooperation of CDCR and local law enforcement officials are conducting a full investigation surrounding Garrido and further information is pending those investigations.

On June 8, 1999, Garrido was paroled from a Nevada state prison. Garrido, 58, served time in federal custody and in Nevada for sexual assault. Garrido's prior arrest history consists of possession of marijuana. While on parole supervision in California, Garrido was subject to: anti narcotic testing, to refrain from alcohol, and global positioning system (GPS) monitoring.

Officials with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's Division of Adult Parole Operations will be holding a briefing to answer questions on the matter today.

Sex offender, wife arrested in 1991 kidnap in California, victim found alive

SACRAMENTO, CALIF. — A convicted sex offender and his wife have been arrested in the kidnapping of an 11-year-old girl in 1991 who recently walked into a Northern California police station, authorities said today.

Phillip Garrido, 58, and his wife Nancy Garrido, 54, were arrested for investigation of kidnapping and conspiracy on Wednesday, police said.

Phillip Garrido is also being held for investigation of rape by force, lewd and lascivious acts with a minor and sexual penetration, said Jimmie Lee, a spokesman for the Contra Costa Sheriff's Department.

Phillip Garrido has a conviction for rape by force or fear, according to the Megan's Law database.

The kidnapped woman was in good health when she came into a San Francisco Bay area police station and said she was Jaycee Lee Dugard, a blond, ponytailed girl when she was abducted as she headed to a school bus stop 18 years ago outside her South Lake Tahoe home, said sheriff's Lt. Les Lovell of the El Dorado Sheriff's Department.

It was not immediately clear when she had surfaced.

"We're 99 percent sure it's her," he said. He said DNA tests were being conducted.

Lovell said Concord police did an investigation after the woman surfaced, and he received a call Wednesday from investigators who had tentatively identified her as Dugard.

Her family has been contacted and they are in the process of arranging a meeting, said Lovell, who was a detective assigned to help investigate the kidnapping in 1991. "We are very confident at this point in time that it is her." Lee said the suspects were being held in the Contra Costa County Jail in Martinez.

A house in the city of Antioch was cordoned off with police tape as it was being searched by FBI agents and the El Dorado County Sheriff's Department.

Neighbor Helen Boyer, 78, described the Garridos as nice and friendly and said they cared for Phillip Garrido's elderly mother.

"If I needed something, they would be the first I would call on," Boyer said.

Dugard's stepfather, Carl Probyn, said the news of the case was like winning the lottery.

"To have this happen where we get her back alive, and where she remembers things from the past, and to have people in custody is a triple win," he told the Sacramento Bee.

Witnesses reported that a vehicle with two people drove up to Dugard and abducted her while her stepfather was watching on June 10, 1991.

In media reports at the time, the girl's stepfather said he heard Jaycee scream then jumped on a bicycle and frantically pedaled after the car in a failed effort to follow it up a hill. He then turned around and screamed at neighbors to call 911.

The case attracted national attention and was featured on TV's "America's Most Wanted," which broadcast a composite drawing of a suspect seen in the car.

Probyn said his wife, Terry, had spoken with Dugard by phone on Wednesday. He said the mother and their 19-year-old daughter were flying from their Southern California home to meet with Dugard in Northern California.

Investigators first visited with his wife about three weeks ago, he said.

Probyn said he endured years of suspicion from FBI agents who believed he may have been involved in the abduction. He eventually lost hope that he would ever see his stepdaughter alive.

"Then you pray that you get her body back so there is an ending," Probyn said.

Lovell said investigators have been working the case consistently since she was abducted and new leads had surfaced over time.

"You bet it's a surprise. This is not the normal resolution to a kidnapping," he said.

He disappeared in 1983 on his way to school in Lemmon Valley. He is now age 37.

Shantelle Hudson was last seen in November 1988 in Dayton. She's now age 37.

Jennifer Martin went missing in June 1987 when she was leaving a grocery store in Lemmon Valley. She is now 33.

Rene Romero was last seen in November 1994, one day before his sixth birthday. He is 19 now.

Cerenio Solis Jr. has been missing since July 1998 when he was four years old. It is believed his non-custodial mother took him to Mexico. He is now 15.

Heather Lewis was last seen at school in Ely in April of 2003. She is now 19.

And the most recent missing child case, you may remember from last month, the three Martinez children.

They were the subject of an Amber Alert that went on for several days. It is believed their mother took them to Mexico.

If you have information, call 911 or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-the-lost or 1-800-843-5678.

Woman kidnapped as child resurfaces 18 years later

27, 2009, 09:20 pm ET

Joyous, miraculous news that a little girl kidnapped nearly two decades ago was found alive gave way Thursday to the horrifying details of how police say she has lived all those years: Kept by a convicted rapist in his backyard as a sex slave and forced to bear two of his children.

Jaycee Lee Dugard, who was 11 in 1991 when she was snatched from her school bus stop, was locked away from the outside world behind a series of fences, sheds and tents in the back of a suburban home.

Her abductor, investigators said, raped her for years and fathered two children with her, the first when Jaycee was about 14. Those children, both girls now 11 and 15, also were kept hidden away in the backyard compound.

"None of the children have ever been to school, they've never been to a doctor," El Dorado County Undersheriff Fred Kollar said. "They were kept in complete isolation in this compound."

Dugard, now 29, was reunited Thursday with her mother, but the meeting was tempered with sadness as the family learned their smiling, blue-eyed, blonde ponytailed little girl had spent most of her life as a virtual slave.

"She was in good health, but living in a backyard for the past 18 years does take its toll," Kollar said.

The backyard compound had electricity from extension cords and a rudimentary outhouse and shower, "as if you were camping," Kollar said.

Convicted sex offender Phillip Garrido, 58, was charged with various kidnapping and sex charges. His wife was also arrested, and authorities said she was with Garrido during the kidnapping in South Lake Tahoe.

Garrido was on lifetime parole, and his arrest raises questions about how closely parolees are monitored. But Kollar said a visitor to Garrido's house would not notice anything was amiss — the compound was well concealed by shrubs, garbage cans and a tarp.

Authorities said they do not know if Garrido also abused his daughters, but they are investigating.

The case broke after Garrido was spotted Tuesday with two children as he tried to enter the University of California, Berkeley, campus to hand out religious literature. The officers said he was acting suspiciously toward the children. They questioned him and did a background check, determining he was a parolee, and informed his parole officer.

Garrido was ordered to appear for a parole meeting and arrived Wednesday with Dugard, his wife and two children. During questioning, corrections officials said he admitted kidnapping Dugard. It was not known if he had a lawyer.

Dugard's stepfather, who witnessed her abduction and was a longtime suspect in the case, said he was overwhelmed by the news after doing everything he could to help find her.

"It broke my marriage up. I've gone through hell, I mean I'm a suspect up until yesterday," a tearful Carl Probyn, 60, told The Associated Press at his home in Orange, Calif.

Garrido's compound was located in Antioch, a city of 100,000 about 170 miles from her family's home in South Lake Tahoe. The house was cordoned off with police tape as it was searched by FBI agents and the El Dorado County Sheriff's Department.

People who knew Garrido said he became increasingly fanatic about his religious beliefs in recent years, sometimes breaking out into song and claiming that God spoke to him through a box.

"In the last couple years he started getting into this strange religious stuff. We kind of felt sorry for him," said Tim Allen, president of East County Glass and Window Inc. in Pittsburgh, who bought business cards and letterhead from Garrido's printing business for the last decade. Three times in recent years, Garrido arrived at Allen's showroom with two "cute little blond girls" in tow, he said.

In April 2008, Garrido registered a corporation called Gods Desire at his home address, according the California Secretary of State. During recent visits to the showroom, Garrido would talk about quitting the printing business to preach full time and gave the impression he was setting up a church, Allen said.

"He rambled. It made no sense," he said.

Garrido would talk about holding events at UC Berkeley and mentioned the names of important people as if he knew them. Allen said he had no inkling of Garrido's criminal record.

"We never thought anything bad about the guy," Allen said. "He was just kind of nutty."

In addition to kidnapping charges, Phillip Garrido is being held for investigation of rape by force, lewd and lascivious acts with a minor and sexual penetration, said Jimmie Lee, a spokesman for the Contra Costa Sheriff's Department. His, Nancy Garrido, 54, was arrested on kidnapping charges.

The Associated Press as a matter of policy avoids identifying victims of alleged sexual abuse by name in its news reports. However, Dugard's disappearance had been known and reported for nearly two decades, making impossible any effort to shield her identity now.

Garrido has a long rap sheet dating back to the 1970s.

He has a conviction for rape by force or fear and was paroled from a Nevada state prison in 1988, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

In 1991, police believe he was trolling for victims in South Lake Tahoe in a Ford Granada and snatched Dugard from a bus stop outside her home. The case attracted national attention and was featured on TV's "America's Most Wanted," which broadcast a composite drawing of a suspect seen in the car.

Her stepfather said he saw someone reach out and grab her before the car sped away.

"As soon as I saw the door fly open, the driver's door, I jumped on my mountain bike and I tried to get to the top of the hill but I had no energy," Probyn recalled. "I rode back down and yelled at my neighbor, 911!"

Probyn said his wife, from whom he is separated, was devastated by the kidnapping. He said for 10 years after the crime, she would take a week off work at Christmas and on the anniversary of the abduction and spend the time crying at home.

Probyn eventually lost hope that he would ever see his stepdaughter alive. He said he was struggling to understand why Dugard didn't come forward earlier.

"I don't know if she was brainwashed, I don't know if she was walking around on the street, I don't know if she was locked up under key for 18 years, I have no idea."

The mother and daughter met Thursday morning at an area hotel. Dugard retains custody of her children, authorities said.

At the Lake Tahoe Unified School District, employees huddled around television sets and computers to watch the news conference. Their tears of joy that Jaycee was alive became tears of horror and anger when details of her abduction and long captivity were recounted by police.

"Oh my God," murmured Superintendent James Tarwater.

Resident Angie Keil said the Lake Tahoe community rallied around the family, holding candlelight vigils, and in the early days organizing searches.

"Jaycee has always been in our minds, all these years," she said, her eyes moist with tears.

That website is seriously scary and the posting are creepy and dangerously freaky. I wonder if the literature that Jaycee, her children, and this monster were handing out on campus had to do with a workshop (or something like that) he wrote about?

I was gone all afternoon. I was looking at something else and saw a video about this. I've been glued to the computer for several hours catching up with all of this information about Jaycee.

I am so thrilled for her and her family!

This is a miracle; I'm so happy to know that Jaycee's stepfather is still close friends with her mother - he deserves to be a part of the joy.

This family will have a long way to go in order to heal from what has been done to Jaycee and her children. My prayers go out to them.

You're right, Sparky - this family seems to be kind and strong. Jaycee's oldest child is only 4 yrs. younger than her newly found aunt! Shayna (I think that's her name) may prove invaluable in helping both Jaycee and the children adjust to their new life.

Garrido said he could not go into detail about why he chose to abduct Dugard. "I haven't talked to a lawyer yet, so I can't do that," he said.

But Garrido said he had "completely turned my life around" in the past several years. "You're going to find the most powerful story coming from the witness, from the victim," he said. "If you take this a step at a time, you're going to fall over backward and in the end you're going to find the most powerful, heartwarming story."

He added, "Wait 'til you hear the story of what took place at this house. You're going to be absolutely impressed. It's a disgusting thing that took place with me in the beginning, but I turned my life completely around."

Describing the two daughters, he said, "Those two girls slept in my arms every single night from birth; I never kissed them."

But in a later comment, he said that, from the time the youngest was born, "everything turned around."

Asked about the fact that they had not seen doctors, he said, "We just didn't have the finances and so forth." :puke:

Kidnap Suspect: 'Wait Until You Hear The Story'
Phillip Craig Garrido Accused Of Kidnapping Jaycee Lee Dugard
August 27, 2009

SACRAMENTO, Calif. --
A sex offender accused of fathering two children with a girl he kidnapped in 1991 claims his life "has been straightened out" and implored people to wait until they hear the whole story of what happened at a Bay Area home over the past 18 years.

Phillip Craig Garrido, 58, is accused of taking Jaycee Lee Dugard from her home in the El Dorado County community of Meyers when she was 11 years old.

Dugard and the children, now 11 and 15, lived in an isolated backyard compound of tents, outbuildings and a shed behind Garrido's home on Walnut Avenue in Antioch, authorities said.

"None of the children have ever been to school, they've never been to a doctor," El Dorado County Undersheriff Fred Kollar said. "They were kept in complete isolation in this compound, if you will."

In a telephone interview with KCRA 3, Garrido urged people to wait for more details about what took place at the house.

"You are going to be completely impressed," he said. "It's a disgusting thing that took place with me at the beginning. But I turned my life completely around and to be able to understand that, you have to start there."

Garrido also claimed that he left important documents with an agent at the FBI office in San Francisco.

The case broke after Garrido was spotted Tuesday with two children as he tried to enter the University of California, Berkeley, campus to hand out religious literature. The officers said he was acting suspiciously toward the children. They questioned him and did a background check, determining he was a parolee, and informed his parole officer.

Garrido was ordered to appear for a parole meeting and arrived Wednesday with Dugard, his wife and two children. During questioning, corrections officials said he admitted kidnapping Dugard. It was not known if he had a lawyer.

Garrido and his wife, 55-year-old Nancy Garrido, were booked into the Contra Costa County jail in Martinez late Wednesday night, according to jail records.

Phillip Garrido was booked on charges including kidnapping, conspiracy, rape and committing lewd acts with a minor, according to the records. Nancy Garrido is accused of kidnapping and conspiracy. Both are being held in lieu of $1 million bail.

'This Strange Religious Stuff'

Phillip Garrido has a business called God's Desire, based out of his home in Antioch. He referred to God's Desire as a church in a telephone interview.

"What's kept me busy the last several years is I've completely turned my life around," Garrido told KCRA 3. "And you're going to find the most powerful story coming from the witness, the victim -- you wait. If you take this a step at a time, you're going to fall over backwards and in the end, you're going to find the most powerful heart-warming story."

People who knew Garrido said he became increasingly fanatic about his religious beliefs in recent years, sometimes breaking out into song and claiming that God spoke to him through a box.

"In the last couple years he started getting into this strange religious stuff. We kind of felt sorry for him," said Tim Allen, president of East County Glass and Window Inc. in Pittsburgh, who bought business cards and letterhead from Garrido's printing business for the last decade.

Three times in recent years, Garrido arrived at Allen's showroom with two "cute little blond girls" in tow, he said.

During recent visits to the showroom, Garrido would talk about quitting the printing business to preach full time and gave the impression he was setting up a church, Allen said.

"He rambled. It made no sense," he said.

Garrido would talk about holding events at UC Berkeley and mentioned the names of important people as if he knew them. Allen said he had no inkling of Garrido's criminal record.

"We never thought anything bad about the guy," Allen said. "He was just kind of nutty."

Garrido was paroled from a Nevada state prison on June 8, 1999. He served time in federal custody in Nevada for sexual assault.

Family, Community Rejoices As Dugard Turns Up Safe

Dugard's stepfather, Carl Probyn, who now lives in Southern California, said Thursday that Dugard's mother, Terry Probyn, called him Wednesday afternoon and told him the FBI had contacted her to say they may have found her daughter.

"I'm running around the house like I've had six cups of coffee," Probyn said Thursday morning.

At the time of the abduction, Dugard's family reported that a vehicle occupied by two people drove up to the girl and abducted her in view of her stepfather.

The girl was seen walking to a bus stop. As she walked, a gray, two-tone, late-model sedan was seen making a U-turn on the street.

The car approached the child and a woman described as about 30 years old with long, dark hair pulled her inside, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. A man was also seen in the car.

"As soon as I saw the door fly open, the driver's door, I jumped on my mountain bike and I tried to get to the top of the hill but I had no energy," Probyn recalled. "I rode back down and yelled at my neighbor, 911!"

Probyn said his wife, from whom he is separated, was devastated by the kidnapping. He said for 10 years after the crime, she would take a week off work at Christmas and on the anniversary of the abduction and spend the time crying at home.

Probyn eventually lost hope that he would ever see his stepdaughter alive. He said he was struggling to understand why Dugard didn't come forward earlier.

"I don't know if she was brainwashed, I don't know if she was walking around on the street, I don't know if she was locked up under key for 18 years, I have no idea."

The mother and daughter met Thursday morning at an area hotel. Dugard retains custody of her children, authorities said. A DNA test is being conducted to confirm her identity.

At the Lake Tahoe Unified School District, employees huddled around television sets and computers to watch the news conference. Their tears of joy that Jaycee was alive became tears of horror and anger when details of her abduction and long captivity were recounted by police.

"Oh my God," murmured Superintendent James Tarwater.

Resident Angie Keil said the Lake Tahoe community rallied around the family, holding candlelight vigils, and in the early days organizing searches.

360 Interview: Elizabeth Smart and her father, Ed

An 11-year-old California girl snatched from the street in front of her house in 1991 had two children with the man accused of taking her and lived in a secret backyard shed, authorities said Thursday.

The 18-year mystery of what happened to Jaycee Dugard ended this week when a sex offender admitted to corrections authorities that he abducted her.

Since her kidnapping, Dugard has lived in her alleged abductor’s backyard, in a shed. All of this played out in a residential neighborhood.

We spoke to Ed Smart and his daughter Elizabeth. The Smarts lived through a similar nightmare, when Elizabeth was snatched from her bedroom in the middle of the night in 2002. She was found nine months later.

Anderson Cooper: Elizabeth from your own experiences, what do you think Jaycee is going through right now?

Elizabeth Smart: Well for me I felt relief and happiness and I was just excited to be home and back to the people that I know love and care for me and I know want the best for me. So I think Jaycee is probably feeling something along those lines as well.

Cooper: And Ed from a father’s perspective what was it like getting that call, being told that after so long, your child was alive?

Ed Smart: It’s the end of the nightmare. Just you know, it was very surreal, we didn’t even get a call saying we had them, they just said we want you to come down. So I didn’t know what to expect. They didn’t even ask Lois to come with me, so you know, I’m just so happy for them, the moment finding that it was really her, was just like this one miracle in life that i could really have. It was just overwhelming and joyful.

Cooper: And Elizabeth, that reunion, obviously, incredibly emotional, and obviously, incredibly joyful. But there’s got to be some ups and downs with it — can you talk a little bit about what that’s like?

Elizabeth Smart: For me it was just overwhelming happiness because, I mean, I was out of that terrible situation, I was with my family and friends. I thought life was just going to resume back to what it had been before, I was just very happy. Of course I wondered what was going to happen, my captors, where were they going to be kept? What was going to happen to them? I mean, certainly there were some questions I had. But I would say for the main part I was just so happy, and I felt so loved being at home, and it was just one of the best days of my life.

Cooper: Ed, for you, what was that reunion like, and what do you think this reunion is like for this woman Jaycee who’s been away for so long?

Ed Smart: The reunion was amazing, it was pure heaven. When we were transferred to the Salt Lake Police Department, one of my biggest concerns was that law enforcement would immediately get the full story from Elizabeth, which they took her in and started – I guess what you would call – debriefing her. And I was very concerned about that. And I’m hopeful that Jaycee will not have to immediately go through that. And that’s basically reliving the whole nightmare of the time that she was gone. Now is the time to rejoice and be happy, reconnect as a family. The other will come, and it has to come, but right now it’s just a time to live and feel the joy and happiness that life can bring.

Cooper: It was a police officer, a campus police officer, who was kind of very observant and got the ball moving, which ultimately lead to Jaycee being discovered. And yet, what we’ve now learned is that she was living in a backyard for 18 years, her children never went to school, never went to see a doctor. do you think the public is observing enough of things they see?

Ed Smart: I think that there are some people, in Elizabeth’s case, there were two people that saw her at the same time. So I think a lot of people are very observant. I think that sometimes we need to put ourselves out and if we feel uncomfortable about something, you might look stupid, but it’s better to check than not. There are other children out there like this that want to be found, and that we just need to work on how we feel.

In this scenario I don’t know all the details on it, but you would i think somebody would have noticed a tent in a backyard. It sounds like it might have been remote. It’s hard to second guess anyone and I wouldn’t want to try to. It’s important to be observant. I think that’s really key.

Cooper: Elizabeth what’s your advice for Jaycee?

Elizabeth Smart: I would tell her to just relax and enjoy your family and spend some time reconnecting. Maybe if it’s possible to think back and think of things that she enjoyed doing with her family, and maybe going out and doing them again, and finding new things she would want to do with her family. One of the things I liked the best, after I came home – and no offense to the media – but, we didn’t do anything. We just my family we went on a vacation but we just spent time as a family, which was like — it was the best thing I could have done. Together as a family, it was the best thing that I could have have done.

Cooper:And Elizabeth you would agree with your Dad, and just let her take as much time as she needs and tell her story or not in her own way, to her family, to her loved ones?

Elizabeth Smart: Yes I would agree with my Dad, for me it’s something very personal and I just don’t talk about it all the time with everybody and so I would think maybe she feels the same way and if she chooses to never say anything about it, I think it should always be her decision and there are a lot of people out here that love her and support her in what she decides to do.

Cooper: And Elizabeth, I read somewhere that you had written a pamphlet to help others who have been in similar situations, is that right?

Elizabeth Smart: That’s right. A big thing I tried to stress in the section that I participated in writing was , to set goals for yourself to continually be moving forward, continuing on with your life and not letting this horrible event take over and consume the rest of your life. Because we only have one life and it’s a beautiful world out there and there are so many things to see and learn and grow in. And I would just encourage her to find different passions in life and continually push forward and learn more and reach more for them and not to look behind, because there’s a lot out there.

Cooper: It’s something that happened to you its not who you are.

Elizabeth Smart: Right.

Cooper: Obviously, this is extraordinarily good news for everyone involved in this story. And it gives hope to other families out there who are still waiting for their loved ones to be found, in one way or another. Some would say that it gives false hope to some people because so many people will never find their loved one and yet there are cases like this, like Elizabeth’s case, Jaycee’s case. So it’s a hard thing. Hope is important to hold onto isn’t it?

Ed Smart: It is. A lot of people during those nine months said, how can you believe that she’s still out there? You’re crazy, or any number of comments. But I had this impression that Elizabeth was still out there, and we never gave up hope. That isn’t to say that there weren’t doubts in my mind. But for this family I’ve heard today that a lot of them kept on hoping, and you know, here it is. It’s real. A miracle has happened.

Cooper: So many others are waiting and hoping as well.

Ed Smart: Absolutely.

Missing Lake Tahoe girl surfaces 18 years later

09:23 PM PDT on Thursday, August 27, 2009

By Associated Press & KING5.com

Associated Press

This undated photo provided by her stepfather William Carl Probyn shows Jaycee Lee Dugard.

PLACERVILLE, Calif. -- A woman who was snatched from a bus stop as an 11-year-old child in 1991 turned up Thursday after being held for the past 18 years in isolation in a backyard compound by a convicted sex offender who fathered two children with her, police said.

The details about her time in captivity emerged after Jaycee Lee Dugard surfaced at a police station in Northern California, nearly two decades after she vanished outside her home.

Police said Phillip Garrido, 58, held her the entire time as a virtual slave, sheltered from the outside world in tents, sheds and outbuildings in his backyard in suburban Antioch.

"None of the children have ever been to school, they've never been to a doctor," El Dorado County Undersheriff Fred Kollar said. "They were kept in complete isolation in this compound, if you will."

There was electricity from electrical cords, rudimentary outhouse, rudimentary shower, "as if you were camping," he said.

Prison officials said Garrido admitted the kidnapping after meeting with his parole officer. He brought Dugard and the two children, ages 11 and 15, to the meeting.

Garrido and his wife Nancy Garrido, 54, were arrested for investigation of kidnapping and conspiracy on Wednesday, police said.

Lindsey Baum's mother reacts

In Washington state, the family of missing McCleary resident Lindsey Baum heard the news.

"Of course I think it's great because I've felt all along my daughter is alive and well," said Melissa Baum, mother of Lindsey.

Lindsey, now 12 years old, was last seen walking home from a friend's house June 26th.

Volunteer searches for Lindsey are planned in the town of McCleary this weekend.

"I just pray I don't have to wait that long," said Melissa Baum.

Garrido's past

Phillip Garrido is also being held for investigation of rape by force, lewd and lascivious acts with a minor and sexual penetration, said Jimmie Lee, a spokesman for the Contra Costa Sheriff's Department.

Phillip Garrido was sentenced to 50 years in prison and served nearly 11 years in a federal prison for a federal kidnapping conviction, said Suzanne Pardee, a spokeswoman for Nevada state prisons.

He also served seven months in a Nevada prison for a conviction of rape by force or fear. Pardee said Garrido was paroled in August 1988.

Dugard was in good health when she came into a San Francisco Bay area station. She was reunited Thursday with her mother, who was overjoyed to learn the ordeal was over and the daughter she feared dead was actually alive and well.

Dugard's stepfather, the last person to see her in 1991 and a longtime suspect in the case, said he was overwhelmed after doing everything he could to help find her.

"It broke my marriage up. I've gone through hell, I mean I'm a suspect up until yesterday," Carl Probyn, 60, told The Associated Press at his home in Orange, Calif.

'Dilligent questioning and follow-up'

California corrections officials said they called in Garrido for questioning Wednesday after receiving a report that he was seen with two small children at the University of California, Berkeley.

"The diligent questioning and follow-up by the parolee's agent of record led to Garrido revealing his kidnapping of the adult female," the department said in a statement. "It was further revealed by Garrido that she was Jaycee Lee Dugard, and that the children were his."

A house in the city of Antioch was cordoned off with police tape as it was searched by FBI agents and the El Dorado County Sheriff's Department.

Neighbor Helen Boyer, 78, described the Garridos as nice and friendly and said they cared for Phillip Garrido's elderly mother.

"If I needed something, they would be the first I would call on," Boyer said.

Witnesses reported that a vehicle with two people drove up to Dugard and abducted her while her stepfather watched on June 10, 1991.

Probyn said he saw someone reach out and grab her before the car sped away.

"As soon as I saw the door fly open, the driver's door, I jumped on my mountain bike and I tried to get to the top of the hill but I had no energy. I rode back down and yelled at my neighbor, 911!" he recalled.

Probyn said his wife, from whom he is separated, was devastated by the kidnapping. He said for 10 years after the crime, she would take a week off work at Christmas and on the anniversary of the abduction and spend the time crying at home.

The case attracted national attention and was featured on TV's "America's Most Wanted," which broadcast a composite drawing of a suspect seen in the car.

Probyn eventually lost hope that he would ever see his stepdaughter alive. He said he was struggling to understand why Dugard didn't come forward earlier.

"I have a million questions, but I'm just delighted," he said.

Lovell said investigators have been working the case consistently since the abduction and new leads had surfaced over time.

"You bet it's a surprise. This is not the normal resolution to a kidnapping," he said.

The Associated Press as a matter of policy avoids identifying victims of alleged sexual abuse by name in its news reports. However, Dugard's disappearance had been known and reported for nearly two decades, making impossible any effort to shield her identity now.

By JULIET WILLIAMS and SAMANTHA YOUNG, Associated Press Writers Juliet Williams And Samantha Young, Associated Press Writers – 24 mins ago

PLACERVILLE, Calif. – A little girl snatched on her way to school was kept hidden from the world behind a series of fences, sheds and tents for nearly two decades, even giving birth to her suspected abductor's children in the suburban backyard compound less than 200 miles from the home where she was taken.

Jaycee Lee Dugard, who was 11 when she was abducted from a South Lake Tahoe street in 1991, was taken directly to the house and sheltered from the world in a secret, leafy backyard, investigators said Thursday.

Her abductor, investigators said, raped her and fathered two children with her, the first when Jaycee was about 14. Those children, both girls now 11 and 15, also were kept hidden away in the backyard compound behind the Antioch home.

"None of the children have ever been to school, they've never been to a doctor," El Dorado County Undersheriff Fred Kollar said. "They were kept in complete isolation in this compound."

Even a parole agent who visited 58-year-old Phillip Garrido's home didn't have an inkling about the hidden compound, Kollar said. Garrido is a registered sex offender on federal parole for rape and kidnapping convictions.

"The way the house is set up, the way the backyard is set up, you could walk through the backyard, walk through the house, and never know," Kollar said.

But neighbors said there were clues even before a parole agent on Wednesday noticed Dugard, now 29, who accompanied Garrido, his wife and the children to a parole office.

Neighbor Diane Doty said she could see the tents and often heard children playing in the backyard, the corner of which abuts her own backyard. She said she even suspected the children lived in the tents, but her husband said she should leave the family alone.

"I asked my husband, 'Why is he living in tents?'" she said. "And he said, 'Maybe that is how they like to live.'"

Garrido, 58, is being held for investigation of various kidnapping and sex charges. Authorities said his 54-year-old wife, Nancy Garrido, was with him during the kidnapping in South Lake Tahoe and she also has been arrested.

The case broke after Garrido was spotted Tuesday with two children as he tried to enter the University of California, Berkeley, campus to hand out religious literature. Officers said he was acting suspiciously toward the children. They questioned him and did a background check, determined that he was a parolee and informed his parole officer.

Garrido was ordered to appear for a parole meeting and arrived Wednesday with Dugard, who identified herself as "Allissa," his wife, and two children. During questioning, corrections officials said he admitted to kidnapping Dugard.

Investigators said he did not yet have an attorney.

Dugard was reunited Thursday with her mother as her family learned that their blue-eyed, blonde ponytailed little girl had spent most of her life in captivity. Police said they had no evidence that she had ever reached out to anyone beyond the compound walls.

"She was in good health, but living in a backyard for the past 18 years does take its toll," Kollar said.

The backyard compound had electricity from extension cords and a rudimentary outhouse and shower, "as if you were camping," Kollar said.
Authorities said they do not know if Garrido also abused his daughters, but they are investigating.

Dugard's stepfather, who witnessed her abduction and was a longtime suspect in the case, said he was overwhelmed by the news after doing everything he could to help find her.

"It broke my marriage up. I've gone through hell, I mean I'm a suspect up until yesterday," a tearful Carl Probyn, 60, told The Associated Press at his home in Orange, Calif.

Garrido's compound was located in Antioch, a city of 100,000 about 170 miles from the Dugard family home in South Lake Tahoe.

People who knew Garrido said he became increasingly fanatic about his religious beliefs in recent years, sometimes breaking out into song and claiming that God spoke to him through a box. "In the last couple years he started getting into this strange religious stuff. We kind of felt sorry for him," said Tim Allen, president of East County Glass and Window Inc. in Pittsburg, Calif., who bought business cards and letterhead from Garrido's printing business for the last decade.

Three times in recent years, Garrido arrived at Allen's showroom with two "cute little blond girls" in tow, he said.

In April 2008, Garrido registered a corporation called Gods Desire at his home address, according to the California Secretary of State. During recent visits to the showroom, Garrido would talk about quitting the printing business to preach full time and gave the impression he was setting up a church, Allen said.

"He rambled. It made no sense," he said.

In a blog that appears to have been maintained by Garrido, he wrote that he had hired a private investigator to verify his ability to speak to people using only his mind. In an "affadavit" posted there, he said he had the ability to "control sound with my mind and have developed a device for others to witness this phenomena."

Garrido gave a rambling, sometimes incoherent phone interview to KCRA-TV from the El Dorado County jail Thursday in which he said he had not admitted to a kidnapping and that he had turned his life around since the birth of his first daughter 15 years ago. "I tell you here's the story of what took place at this house, and you're going to be absolutely impressed. It's a disgusting thing that took place from the end to the beginning. But I turned my life completely around," he said.

In addition to kidnapping allegations, court records showed both Garridos were being held for investigation of rape by force, lewd and lascivious acts with a minor and kidnapping someone under 14 with intent to rape. Phillip Garrido also faces allegations of sexual penetration.

The AP, as a matter of policy, avoids identifying victims of alleged sexual abuse by name in its news reports. However, Dugard's disappearance had been known and reported for nearly two decades, making impossible any effort to shield her identity now.

Garrido has a long rap sheet dating back to the 1970s.

He was convicted of kidnapping a 25-year-old woman whom he snatched from a South Lake Tahoe parking lot, handcuffed, tied down and held in a mini-warehouse in Reno, according to a November 1976 story in the Reno Gazette-Journal.

He also has a conviction for rape by force or fear stemming from the same incident, and was paroled from a Nevada state prison in 1988, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

In 1991, police believe he was trolling for victims in South Lake Tahoe in a Ford Granada when he snatched Dugard from a bus stop outside her home. The case attracted national attention and was featured on TV's "America's Most Wanted," which broadcast a composite drawing of a suspect seen in the car.

Her stepfather said he saw someone reach out and grab her before the car sped away.

"As soon as I saw the door fly open, the driver's door, I jumped on my mountain bike and I tried to get to the top of the hill but I had no energy," Probyn recalled. "I rode back down and yelled at my neighbor, 911!"

Probyn said his wife, from whom he is separated, was devastated by the kidnapping. He said for 10 years after the crime, she would take a week off work at Christmas and on the anniversary of the abduction and spend the time crying at home.

Jaycee Lee Dugard has retained custody of her children and was staying at a Bay area motel, authorities said.

Police: Victim was kept as sex slave, had 2 children by her abductor

PLACERVILLE, Calif. - Joyous, miraculous news that a little girl kidnapped nearly two decades ago was found alive gave way Thursday to the horrifying details of how police say she has lived all those years: kept by a convicted rapist in his backyard as a sex slave and forced to bear two of his children.

Jaycee Lee Dugard, who was 11 in 1991 when she was snatched from her school bus stop, was locked away from the outside world behind a series of fences, sheds and tents in the back of a suburban home, police said.

Her abductor, investigators said, raped her for years and fathered two children with her, the first when Jaycee was about 14. Those children, both girls now 11 and 15, also were kept hidden away in the backyard compound.

"None of the children have ever been to school, they've never been to a doctor," El Dorado County Undersheriff Fred Kollar said. "They were kept in complete isolation in this compound."

Dugard, now 29, was reunited Thursday with her mother, but the meeting was tempered with sadness as the family learned their smiling, blue-eyed, blonde ponytailed little girl had spent most of her life as a virtual slave.

"She was in good health, but living in a backyard for the past 18 years does take its toll," Kollar said.

The backyard compound had electricity from extension cords and a rudimentary outhouse and shower, "as if you were camping," Kollar said.

This is so unsettling and feels bittersweet...Poor child kept as a sex slave, had two children and lived in the back yard...:cray:

Amazing that she is alive after all this time..:give_rose:

I wish her well, she has much to catch up on with her family...

She pretty much lost her youth! That can't ever be given back. She lost her choices. She didn't get to choose her mate, the father of her children. That was forced on her. She is under-educated. Her children are not educated. Who knows if they have been molested or not? God, I hope not.

How does one overcome all of that? I pray that she and her children can!

Bars on the windows, tents in the yard...sheds in the back. Some of the neighbors said they knew that was there but didn't think anyone "lived" in it. Yet...the same neighbors KNEW this man was a registered sex offender and basically stayed away? I don't get it. If he was my neighbor I would have been an eagle-eye, there is no doubt. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the neighbors were responsible or that I look down on them for their ignorance...because when we, as humans, tend to rationalize...then we see things differently. They may have seen the bars as the man's way to keep vigilantes out of his property/home. THey may have seen the sheds as merely sheds...certainly not living quarters. However, I hope the system has learned something from this. I hope the system makes changes in that they are entitled to FULL HOME inspections and yard inspections for all future sex predators and not just "visits in the living room."

This story while many are celebrating....I am mourning. I am mourning the loss of innocence. The loss of living a normal life. The horror of an 11 yr old child being raped by an adult male. The horror of missing her family, her home, her bedroom, her friends...her childhood. Somewhere in the midst of all this horror I believe a change took place that directly points to the Stockholm Syndrome and that is just as horrifying it itself. The fact that Jaycee's horrors were so beyond her own comprehension that she ended up taking on her rapist/molester as her "savior". I honestly cannot imagine how she could ever be "Jaycee" again? Somewhere she has to be deeply troubled and I cannot imagine her having a "normal" life to fall in love...to marry...etc. I think that man ruined the soul of what was once Jaycee, an innocent child. And I can only hope and pray that there is time for the two daughters and that they were not molested/raped. I think all any of us can do is pray for all of them. From the Mother of Jaycee...the stepfather...to Jaycee and her children. I am still so much in shock over this horror that I cannot feel "elated", as yet. I think the only celebration, in my opinion, is that the Mother of Jaycee can hold her daughter in her arms and be there for her through the healing it is going to take. That is probably the only celebration I can imagine. I hope that man and his wife receive the strictest of all penalties. So many lives he took away...even if it wasn't "permanently".

Someone posted this picture in my forum and said it was a photo of Jaycee from the police station. I also read where her stepfather said that her mom told him that she looked nearly the same as the day she left. I really found that hard to believe considering the living situation. I am posting the photo below, however...I'm waiting to get confirmation if in fact this is really her picture today ...because she looks TOO young. Like 14? At the same time, words of caution...I went to google search to try and find a "today" photo *and to verify this one*...well, I gave up because two different sites automatically were Trojan viruses that my scanner picked up on and went balistic! (There should be a law!) Anyhow...here is the pic:

Report: Jaycee Lee Dugard helped with alleged abductor's printing business
BY MARTHA BELLISLE • mbellisle@rgj.com • August 28, 2009

A business owner in Antioch, Calif., said the woman who was abducted at age 11 from her South Lake Tahoe home in 1991 worked for her abductor’s printing business and helped him design his business cards.

Police said at a news conference Thursday that Jaycee Lee Dugard had been held for the past 18 years in isolation in a backyard compound, but Deepal Karunaratne, a real estate agent in Antioch, said he saw Alyssa, the girl Phillip Garrido allegedly kidnapped, often.

“She did the work on the cards,” Karunaratne said, adding that Garrido owned a printing company called “Printing For Less” and provided inexpensive jobs for local businesses.

“She does all my work and does all the designing,” Karunaratne said. “She would come out and do the work. She never mentioned what’s going on. Every time she comes, she’s very well-dressed and she seemed to be very healthy and happy.”

Karunaratne said Garrido sometimes dropped the business cards off at his Remax office, and sometimes Karunaratne picked his orders up at Garrido’s house.

“He told me he had three girls, three daughters,” Karunaratne said. “I’ve seen all of his daughters. Alyssa was the oldest.”

Karunaratne was one of several people listed on a Web site run by Garrido called “Voices Revealed,” which was part of his organization called “God’s Desire.”

According to Voices Revealed, Garrido believed that God had given him “the ability to speak in the tongue of angels in order to provide a wake-up call that will in time include the salvation of the entire world.”

The site includes what he claims were affidavits from people, including Karunaratne, who were allegedly interviewed by a private investigator and signed a declaration saying they had witnessed Garrido demonstrate his ability to control “a voice or set of voices that are unearthly in nature.”

But those people contacted said their signatures were faked.

Timothy Allen, owner of East County Glass & Window in Pittsburg, Calif., said Garrido produced the business cards for the glass company, but Allen said he never interacted with Garrido beyond the printing jobs.

“He would come in to deliver the cards, and he was always talking about this new religion thing, rambling,” Allen said. “I always encouraged him because he seemed like a simple guy with a mental problem.”

Allen said Garrido would come in with two young blond girls, aged around 10 and 14, and said they were his daughters.

“They looked normal,” Allen said. “They spoke really well, and one even shook my hand.”

Allen said Garrido would talk in circles about his religion, and said he had rented a hall where he planned to hold his church, and said he was preaching at the University of California, Berkeley.

“He told me months ago that he had been at UC Berkeley,” Allen said. “The more he told me, the more I knew it was garbage. I thought he was retarded or something. He’s out there.”

Missing girl Jaycee Lee Dugard could have been rescued earlier according to neighbours

28 August 2009

Jaycee Lee Dugard, the girl who sensationally reappeared this week after being kidbnapped 18 years ago, could have been rescued earlier had the authorities listened to warnings from locals concerned about the alledged kidnapper, Phillip Garrido, according to neighbours.

Dugard, and her two daughters were being held by Garrido in his back yard in a series of tents and sheds. Garrido was a known sex offender, having been convicted of rape and kidnapping in 1971.

According to his neighbours, the authorities had been informed of suspicious behaviour by Garrido, who fathered Dugard's daughters while she was in captivity.

One neighbour, Haydee Perry, told KCRA-TV, "They knew that he was a sex offender. They knew there were kids there. We all knew it wasn't right."

They [the neighbours] called the Sherriff's department a couple of years prior to me being here and said 'hey there's kids in the back yard, there's people living in tents back there - can you come and check?.'"

"From what I understand they did nothing about it. They didn't look at the back yard, they just left the situation... How can this happen when he's a registered sex offender and he has little girls living with him?"

Dugard, who went by the name "Allissa" while in captivity, seems to have been seen with her daughters at times by the neighbours. During that time her daughters referred to her as their sister.

Perry said of the daughters, ""Very quiet, she wouldn't smile, she wouldn't wave and that's what touches my heart. She would just give a blank stare. Someone said maybe she was crying out for help or something because it was a blank stare. She wassn't like happy and go lucky and skipping around, it was just blank."

I hope someone can raise the funds to tutor those girls till they reach the level of education they should have at their age. The same for Jaycee. There is a great need here to repair the damage (as much as it can be repaired) done by the hideous, evil couple that kidnapped her. There is one plus side....Jaycee's mom not only gets her daughter back...but two granddaughters.

Jaycee's life will be hell for a long time and I hope she will be able to trust again. We don't know what the girls have been thru yet. If they have been abused - well. God Bless Them.

I don't know Faith. If I thought something strange was going on right next door to me and I had a sex offender as a neighbor(if I knew), I would call the police every time he littered, much less if I saw children with him. If they do make a movie out of this, I hope she is allowed to make that decision and gets paid handsomely for it.

This would be a great awareness movie to wake up the world to pay attention. JMO

I would call too. I worry about my sister living on the same street as one and she has 2 young children 8/5. I've never had to deal with them personally. I do know a RSO- he was a band director that had an affair with a 17 YO student. I know that is wrong but that is not with a young child. He owns a pest business here, no, I do not use him but it must be successful, he is still in business. FTR-I do not support what he did but I am not afraid he will snatch TJ out of my yard either.

PG: 'Oh No sir I do not.

Int: 'Ok can you tell us the circumstances surrounding what happened back in1991 the whole deal that leads us to today?'
PG: 'I haven't… I haven't talked with a lawyer yet so I can't do that but I can tell you that those circumstances will begin to come to light as soon as you grab those documents, that's why they are in the Federal Government's hands.
Int: 'Ok does this have anything to do with your place of business?

Int: 'OK is this all flow under that Phillip?
PG: 'Yes it does'
Int: 'OK'
PG: 'Thats why... the reason it's in the Government's hands will state right on the front of it...that they accepted it from me very, very happily.
Int: 'Back in 1991, why was it that you selected this girl?
PG: 'I'm so sorry…I'm going to….er..em…let me help you as soon as I can sit down and do this correctly because I have no desire to hold back these things in fact when this takes place you are going to be really surprised at what happened…it's a powerful heartwarming story. If you would just co-operate with me you can make the decisions as you get the information, I'm so sorry because I don't mean to disappoint you right now I just want to do this in orderly fashion.
Int: 'No I completely understand and I do appreciate you talking to me at this time. What situation do you think you're in right now?'
PG: 'Well Im in a very serious situation. Er..what it is…er I can't speak with you about it I have to wait. But I guarantee you as each time goes on you will get the pieces of the story and in a very…er… powerful manner. When you get these documents in your hands you are going to fall over.
Int: When can I get these documents Phillip?
PG: Well the Federal Government on the 15th floor of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I gave them to one of the agents and so they have them there and er speak to them tomorrow immediately and ask them for a, a copy of those.
Int: 'Two days ago when you were in Berkely and you were contacted by some people with law enforcement can you tell me what you said to them? Did you feel somewhat relieved that they had found you how did you feel Phillip ?
PG: 'Im feeling much better now this is a process that needed to take place, please go ahead and grab those documents cos they ... and like I said they are going to be a part of the trial because this is going to turn into a major trial.'
Int: 'Phillip, what do you hope happens once the documents are out once the trials begins or is over, what do you hope comes from this for you?
PG: 'Well let me tell you this when I went to the San Francisco bureau - and I'm not avoiding confession and just trying to make sure you understand something - I was accompanied by two children that are Jaycee's two children what we have had, so and to really start this off please get those documents. They will not disappoint you, they will absolutely tell you right away that you are in control of something that is going to take world attention.
Int: 'I know you served some time in the nineties, what have you been doing all this time in terms of employment? What have you been doing? What keeps you busy?
PG: 'Er…what's kept me busy the last several, several years I've completely turned my life around and er..you're going to find the most powerful story coming from the witnesses, from the victim.
'You wait…you just If you just take this a step at a time, you're going to fall over backward and in the end you're going to find the most powerful, heartwarming story and er..revealing to something that needs to be understood and that's about as far as I can go.
'I really want to help you but I need to make sure that the media is also protected correctly
Int: 'I understand that, will we be getting most of this, what you're saying, from Jaycee?
PG: 'Jaycee will also handle that with her love...this is what we're going to do, we're going to co-ordinate this because the department are absolutely for a law enforcement….wait till you read that document, my life has been straightened out, wait till you hear the story of what took place at this house.'
You are going to be absolutely impressed.'It's a disgusting thing that took place with me at the beginning. But I turned my life completely around and to be able to understand that, you have to start there.
'I'm so sorry Mr Ross. I would like to help you further but I also need to protect the sheriff's office and the federal government and I need to protect the rights of Jaycee Lee Dugard.
Int: 'I understand that...can you at least share with me what you have told law enforcement?
PG: 'I haven't told them anything. I will not speak to them until I have a..err...what I have shared with law enforcement you have in those documents I didn't tell them anything else but what is on those documents and they were really impressed.
Int: 'Did you, when they first met with you recently, did you tell them that you did have a hand in taking Jaycee back in 1991?
PG: Oh no, no, no....that was just a beginning of what I was preparing which is going to lead to what happened, actually happened and it's going to explain something that humans have not understand well.
Int: I understand that Phil, I'm just saying you're mentioning it is going to be a heart-warming story.
PG: It is
Int: 'Can you give me an overview, as to is it a love story? is it a story about children?
PG: No, no it's a constructive story of turning a person's life around and having those two children, those two girls, they slept in my arms every single night from birth...(breaking down) never did I harm them, I never touched them.
'You just have to take this a step at a time and do what I asked you to because you're going to be so happy that you did.
'I'm not going to get too far into it but wait until you find out. There's going to be people coming forward at this trial - and that's not all - you're going to be in a state of shock when you see how many hundreds of thousands of people are going to come out of the woodwork to start testifying about something.
'Please just do me a favour and follow the first part that I ask you to do because you can make your own decisions from that and what you want to do.
'This is not for me, you'll find out this is not a play or a way of me monopolising on anyone.
'It's a very, very well constructed and powerful written disclosure, please do that and then we'll work from there.
Int: 'Let me ask you this before I go, are the children ok?
PG: 'Absolutely, since the youngest one was born…from that moment on everything turned around and these people are going to testify to these things.
Int: We were just somewhat concerned about the lack of, perhaps, some sound medical attention?
PG: 'Absolutely, that is absolutely because we just didn't have the finances and so forth and we were very concerned and you have to get into the actual thing...the Government in the end, the federal government, ended up being involved because they are being pursued by hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people who are suing them with lawsuits...just read the documents and we'll go from there.
'Thank you sir and I thank you, God bless you for allowing me to call you.'
Int: Phillip, thank you for the phone call.
PG: I wanted to see you today but I don't know what happened you know? I don't know. But thank you so much for allowing me to talk to you and I'm not going to call any other media, I'm going to leave this with you right now because you're the first person here that I was able to talk to, I've got other numbers but I'll stop right there.'

A constructive story about turning one's life around???

What about Jaycee? Is her life constructive?? Are the children you fathered with her constructive? Never been to school or a doctor, how constructive is that?

He had a wife and refers to Jaycee as his wife, what does his "real" wife say about what's taken place for the last 17 years...PG needs to spend the rest of his life in jail, as does the woman he doesn't refer to as wife...

He is a very disturbed individual. However, clever enough to hide Jaycee for 18 years and father two children while the PO visited and saw nothing unusual.

I see how secluded the area is in the backyard. Surrounded by trees and shrubs. Very very clever on his part. Cannot be seen other than aerial.

He sounds like a wacko but is he? Is he really? I bet the PO (Parole Officer) feels about an inch high.

Kidnap suspect's father: son 'out of his mind'

The father of a man suspected of kidnapping a girl 18 years ago and hiding her in his backyard says his son is "absolutely out of his mind."

Manuel Garrido told The Associated Press Friday that his son Phillip Garrido fell into a bad crowd when he was younger and started taking LSD.

The elder Garrido said the drugs changed him from a good boy, whom everybody loved, to a crazy person.

Speaking by phone from his house in Brentwood, Manuel Garrido says he hasn't seen his son in years and has never been to the house where Phillip Garrido allegedly lived with the missing girl Jaycee Lee Dugard, their two children and his wife, Nancy Garrido.

Phillip and Nancy Garrido are being held for investigation of kidnapping and conspiracy. Phillip Garrido also has been accused of various sex crimes.

If I'm understanding correctly, a neighbor had contacted LE in 2006, then a compliance check was made at suspects residence again in 2008. They were only checking that he was living where he was registered as a sex offender. They did not check the grounds/house in 2008.

Saying LE has to be diligent in turning over rocks.

No reason to believe that the deputy had the sex offender information when he was on scene in 2008.

I just caught the tail end and basically what you said, Faith, and that there was a call about people living in the yard and it is against the code.

He also said something about an officer may not have access to a database that would give him information about the person even though he would have been registered. I missed part of that though.

Kidnap suspect's home searched for murder evidence
By TERRY COLLINS, Associated Press Writer
Friday, August 28, 2009
(08-28) 13:53 PDT Antioch, Calif. (AP) --

The twisted kidnapping case of a woman held captive for 18 years in a secluded backyard compound took another disturbing turn Friday as authorities searched the home of her alleged captor for evidence in the murders of several prostitutes and new evidence surfaced of missed opportunities to arrest him years ago.

Officers executed a search warrant at Phillip Garrido's Antioch home for clues in the unsolved slayings, Contra Costa sheriff's Capt. Daniel Terry said.

Several of the murdered women's bodies were dumped near an industrial park where Garrido, a sex offender, worked during the 1990s.

Garrido and his wife, Nancy, were charged Friday with kidnapping 11-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard in 1991. Authorities said they held her and two children she had with Garrido as prisoners in a backyard encampment.

Contra Costa County Sheriff Warren E. Rupf said a neighbor reported three years ago there were people living in tents in a backyard encampment at the home of Garrido.

The deputy who interviewed Garrido in November 2006 gave him a warning that people living outdoors was a code violation. The deputy did not go into the backyard of the house located in an unincorporated area of Antioch, about 45 miles northeast of San Francisco, Rupf said.

More suspicion and curiosity on the deputy's part could have uncovered the secret encampment where Dugard allegedly was held, he said.

They "missed an opportunity" and there are "absolutely no excuses," Rupf said, apologizing to the Dugard family.

Phillip Garrido, 58, was arrested Wednesday and is also facing sexual assault charges, Authorities said his 54-year-old wife, Nancy Garrido, was with him during the kidnapping in South Lake Tahoe.

Dugard reunited with her mother, sister and another relative Thursday. They are at an undisclosed San Francisco Bay area hotel, and Dugard's stepfather Carl Probyn said Dugard is doing well under the circumstances.

"She looks very young, she looks very healthy," Probyn said on "The Early Show" on CBS.

The neighbor who called authorities three years ago also told them Garrido was psychotic and had a sexual addiction. Rupf said the deputy who visited the home did not know Garrido was a registered sex offender, even though the Sheriff's Department had the information.

Garrido's father, Manuel Garrido, also told The Associated Press Friday that his son is "absolutely out of his mind." He said Garrido fell into a bad crowd when he was younger and started taking LSD.

The elder Garrido said the drugs changed him from a good boy, whom everybody loved, to a crazy person.

Speaking by phone from his house in Brentwood, Manuel Garrido said he hasn't seen his son in years and has never been to the house where the encampment allegedly was set up.

He said his ex-wife, Phillip Garrido's mother, has dementia and is not well. She also lived in the Antioch house

A Young Girl is Killed

Lisa Diane Norrell, a 15-year-old Mexican-American girl, was the adopted daughter and only child of Minnie Norrell, an Italian-American woman living in Pittsburg (See NORRELL). On November 6, 1998, as she had every evening that week, Lisa attended a rehearsal for a quinceañera at the IDES hall on 111 West 10th Street in the nearby town of Antioch.

The quinceañera is a Mexican coming-of-age party, marking a 15-year-old girl's entry into society. It includes a lavish celebration with specific dances and formal attire, similar to a wedding. The night Lisa disappeared, she was practicing for the quinceañera party of a friend.

According to participants at the rehearsal, Lisa angrily left the hall between 10:30 and 11 p.m. that night. Witnesses saw her walking on the Pittsburg-Antioch highway, presumably to get to her home on East 12th Street in Pittsburg. The highway is a lonely, poorly lit stretch of road. Lisa was wearing a long gray sweatshirt and blue jeans, and carrying the dark blue velvet dress and black dress shoes she had taken to the party. At 2:45 a.m. Minnie Norrell awoke from her sleep, and realized that her daughter had not come home. She and other members of her family spent hours looking for Lisa. It was a rainy and windy night, with temperatures only in the high 40s.

"We got out, walked around in the rain looking everywhere. There was nothing anywhere," recalled Tony Quesada, Lisa's 17-year-old biological brother, who was adopted by one of Minnie's good friends.

The circumstances in which Lisa left Antioch's IDES dancing hall that night remain unclear. All the community knows is that she left in anger.

One of the Norrells’ neighbors, 75-year-old Julia Passmore, reported that Lisa left after "the dance partner she was supposed to practice with refused to dance with her." But Minnie's version of the facts is different: "I know my daughter; she probably got embarrassed because she couldn't learn the steps and then she did get mad."

Minnie's only direct contact with the family that hosted the quinceañera was a few days after Lisa had disappeared. "[The father] said, 'I'm sorry that your daughter is missing,'" Minnie recalled. "'My wife thought she was with me, and I thought she was with my wife. I looked everywhere and couldn't find her.'"

Many people don't understand why Lisa risked walking alone in the night. "The funny thing is, I don't know what got her to be walking out there," said City Councilman Frank R. Quesada, who is Tony's uncle. "It's not a heavily used road, it's very dark and it's not a city incorporated area."

The Pittsburg-Antioch highway has no sidewalk, just gravel on the sides of the road. On one side are fields, and on the other side, occasional industrial businesses. The distance from the dancing hall to the Norrells’ house is about four miles.

<SNIPPED>

The Coroner's Report

The morning after Lisa's disappearance, her black shoes were found on the side of the Pittsburg-Antioch highway. Police began scouring the area with infrared video cameras. One week later, on November 14, Lisa's body was discovered at the Nav-Land landscaping site, which faces the highway. The manager of the company still remembers hundreds of policemen inspecting the area, sending the staff home once they found the body and closing down three blocks for about three days.

According to the coroner's report, which the police heavily censored for investigative purposes, Lisa died of asphyxia (See RECORDS). Because of the censoring of certain details of the report, it is not clear whether she died of suffocation or strangulation. She had cuts and bruises on her chin and neck, and some blood and body fluids had been found on her sweatshirt. Police would not comment on whether Lisa had been sexually assaulted.

Although Lisa's body was found on the side of the landscaping yard, between some parked cars and the building, none of the workers had noticed the body during the week she was missing. Police would not say if the body was hidden or buried in any way.

During the week of Lisa's absence, Minnie relied on the support of her friends and family. "I had a lot of family here," said Minnie. "My family came and they just stayed. Their friends came and they stayed. The police came right away." Minnie also had to deal with a relentless media. "The press didn't let up, but at the same time, I needed them to have Lisa's name out there," she said. (See ETHICS)

More Killings Ensue

Within two months of Lisa's murder, three more women were killed. All of the victims' bodies were discovered within miles of the industrial site where Lisa's corpse was found. Three of the victims were known prostitutes.

Twenty-four-year-old Jessica Fredericks was found on Harbor Street in Pittsburg on December 5. She died of multiple cut and stab wounds. Rachael Cruise, 32, was found on California Avenue on December 15; she died of asphyxia and manual strangulation. The coroner's report on her death suggested that her body had been dragged along the road for a short period of time. Valerie Dawn Schultz, who was found on Willow Pass Road on January 8, died of multiple stab wounds. Evidence showed that she had also been strangled. She was almost 28 years old. Another victim, 38-year-old Tammie Davis, was found on December 15, severely beaten in a portable toilet in Bay Point, formerly called West Pittsburg. She is currently recovering from her injuries, although according to the officer in charge of her case, Detective Michael Costa of the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office, "she'll never be at full capacity again."

Out of the five crimes, only one suspect has been charged: Mohammed Niaz, who was taken into custody last March and is currently on trial for Fredericks' murder.

Though police had leads on Niaz as early as December, concern nonetheless rose in the community and spread through the media that the killings were all connected. Were women being targeted? Was there a serial killer on the loose?

Deputies even went so far as to approach prostitutes in the area to warn them to stay off the streets. Police, searching for similarities with past cases, looked at the 1992 unsolved murders of two prostitutes in the Pittsburg area, Sharon Mattos and Andrea Ingersoll.

Garrido and his wife, Nancy, were charged Friday with kidnapping 11-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard in 1991. Authorities said they held her and two children she had with Garrido as prisoners in a backyard encampment.
The couple pleaded not guilty to a total of 29 counts, including forcible abduction, rape and false imprisonment. A judge ordered them held without bail.

Phillip Garrido appeared stoic and unresponsive during the brief arraignment hearing. His wife cried and put her head in her hands several times.
Contra Costa County Sheriff Warren E. Rupf said a neighbor reported three years ago there were people living in tents in a backyard encampment at the home of Garrido.

The deputy who interviewed Garrido in November 2006 gave him a warning that people living outdoors was a code violation. The deputy did not go into the backyard of the house located in an unincorporated area of Antioch, about 45 miles northeast of San Francisco, Rupf said.

More suspicion and curiosity on the deputy's part could have uncovered the secret encampment where Dugard allegedly was held, he said.
They "missed an opportunity" and there are "absolutely no excuses," Rupf said, apologizing to the Dugard family.

Phillip Garrido, 58, was arrested Wednesday and is also facing sexual assault charges, Authorities said his 54-year-old wife, Nancy Garrido, was with him during the kidnapping in South Lake Tahoe.

Dugard reunited with her mother, sister and another relative Thursday.

They are at an undisclosed San Francisco Bay area hotel, and Dugard's stepfather Carl Probyn said Dugard is doing well under the circumstances.
"She looks very young, she looks very healthy," Probyn said on "The Early Show" on CBS.

The neighbor who called authorities three years ago also told them Garrido was psychotic and had a sexual addiction. Rupf said the deputy who visited the home did not know Garrido was a registered sex offender, even though the Sheriff's Department had the information.

Garrido's father, Manuel Garrido, also told The Associated Press Friday that his son is "absolutely out of his mind." He said Garrido fell into a bad crowd when he was younger and started taking LSD.

The elder Garrido said the drugs changed him from a good boy, whom everybody loved, to a crazy person.

Speaking by phone from his house in Brentwood, Manuel Garrido said he hasn't seen his son in years and has never been to the house where the encampment allegedly was set up.

He said his ex-wife, Phillip Garrido's mother, has dementia and is not well. She also lived in the Antioch house

I don't know that I believe this story. If true, why not be persistent?

Missing girl Jaycee Lee Dugard could have been rescued earlier according to neighbours

28 August 2009

Jaycee Lee Dugard, the girl who sensationally reappeared this week after being kidbnapped 18 years ago, could have been rescued earlier had the authorities listened to warnings from locals concerned about the alledged kidnapper, Phillip Garrido, according to neighbours.

Yes. Actually, that is true. The police Dept. issued a statement today stating that they messed up and could have possibly solved this back in 2006. (sad)

It's a pretty good bet they are searching every nook and cranny in that house to try and get home on other disappearances and/or murders. I'm sure the detectives are going to do a thorough job in order to have him (them, I hope) receive the DP. Otherwise, the best they can do right now is life.

I been watching CNN talking about Jaycee and they showed her mother when she was younger so I think this is her now.

& Thank you everyone who welcomed me =]

I'm not sure? I did find a caption under a photo at the AP that stated "No pictures have been released of Ms Dugard as she looks today" I would think if one news agency had her picture, of today, that all the agencies would have it by now. Also, the pic above may be Jaycee's mother. Again, remember that google searches for her picture contains Trojan Viruses. It caught me and my virus scanner went off on time. Thank goodness for Windows Live OneCare. I tell you..it's the best out there!

I found out later that it was true after I posted that article. I thought LE would have done a better job when the neighbor reported children being there. I was/am still shocked even tho I heard the sheriff say in 2006 they called.

As we have come to find, the media is very inaccurate much of the time and post misinformation. That's another reason I pout that I did not believe it and thinking someone may have wanted their 15 minutes of fame.

Sadly, it's true. I will go back and take my comment off. I do wish the neighbor would have been persistent in reporting what he/s saw. .
