UPDATE: Kidnapped Victim Jaycee Dugard Had Kids With Captor!!!
Kidnapping victim Jaycee Dugard lived nearly two decades as a prisoner in the secluded backyard on an Antioch home, raising two children by her alleged abductor with little to no outside contact, according to the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Deparment.
At a Placerville news conference Thursday, El Dorado County Undersheriff Fred Kollar said even though the 11-year-old girl abducted in 1991 lived in a makeshift set of sheds and tents for 18 years with her daughters, the now 29-year-old Jaycee was in surprisingly good shape after her identity was discovered Wednesday.
“Living in a backyard for 18 years does take its toll, but she was in good health,” Kollar said. “Jaycee has been there ever since. The children were born there.”
Kollar said Jaycee’s 15-year-old and 11-year-old daughters were fathered by her captor, Phillip Garrido. Garrido, 58, and his wife Nancy Garrido, 54, were arrested for investigation of kidnapping and conspiracy Wednesday.
“He fathered both children with Jaycee,” Kollar said.
Formal criminal complaints against the Garridos were expected to be filed in El Dorado County Superior Court by noon Friday, according to El Dorado County District Attorney Vern Pierson.
Kollar said the break in the 18-year search for the missing South Lake Tahoe girl began Tuesday when Garrido, accompanied by Jaycee’s two daughters, attempted to hand out religious literature on the UC Berkeley campus.
The interaction between Garrido and the two girls prompted the attention of a UC Berkeley police officer, who ran a background check on Garrido.
When it was discovered that Garrido was on parole following a 1971 conviction for rape and kidnapping, Kollar said officers alerted the state parole office.
The call led to Garrido’s visit to his Concord parole officer’s office, Kollar said. Along with Garrido was his wife Nancy, the two girls and a young woman Garrido called Allissa.
Kollar said the parole officer had never seen “Allissa” or the two girls during any home visits to Garrido’s Antioch home. That suspicion prompted a call to Concord Police. From there, detectives unraveled Garrido’s house of cards — and it wasn’t long before it seemed clear that Allissa was actually Jaycee Dugard.
“The diligent questioning and follow-up by the parolee’s agent of record led to Garrido revealing his kidnapping of the adult female,” the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said in a statement Thursday.
“Without (parole) istance, we probably never would have found this out,” Kollar said.
Kollar said Jaycee was cooperative and forthcoming with detectives. “She wasn’t evasive at all,” Kollar said.
Officers in Antioch who searched Garrido’s home found a secluded, blocked-off backyard area with a soundproofed shed and two outdoor tents where Jaycee and the girls lived for 18 years.
“None of the children have ever been to school. They’ve never been to a doctor,” Kollar said. “They were kept in complete isolation in this compound.”
There was electricity from electrical cords, rudimentary outhouse, rudimentary shower, “as if you were camping,” he said. Also found in the backyard was a car, believed to be the vehicle used in Jaycee’s abduction.
The house was cordoned off with police tape as it was searched by FBI agents and the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Department Thursday. Officials said investigators would once again collect evidence at the home Friday.
Kollar said Jaycee was reunited with her mother and step-sister Thursday. Dugard retains custody of her children and was staying at a Bay area motel.
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.
The Garridos were being held at the El Dorado County Jail in Placerville awaiting arraignment.

This guy & his wife are both candidates for the death penalty if they are convicted gizmo420420. You don’t think women have any more of right to kidnap and rape children than men do you? Surely you don’t want Melissa Huckaby to escape the death penalty for kidnapping, raping & murdering 8-year-old California girl Sandra Cantu as well do you?

What a sick man who never should have been freed. I wonder if he also had been drugging those children. He has a mark aside his nose I saw on another drug user once. It’s like a vein maybe they use to stick a needle in. You see band-aids there on drug users sometimes. The kids, wife, and Jaycee could all have been drugged. He was into mind control (since he obviously couldn’t control his OWN!) Those poor girls. Imagine being the product of a rape and knowing it.

You are really …
You are really jumping the gun. Dragging racism into this? This is why everyone rolls their eyes whenever someone cries racism anymore, because people like you have to apply it to every situation. These cops have been clearly negligent and should be hanging their heads in shame right now. I wouldn’t trust them to investigate a lost bicycle. But the FBI are on this now and I’m sure they have good reason to investigate the neighbors yard. And who says he’s black?

people always say ” …
people always say “payback in prison”, but I think we all know that prisons are full of rapists, child molesters and otherwise violent disturbed people. yeah, I know there are a lot of people there who are just drug users or robbers too, but there are PLENTY of sickos just like this guy. We like to think that when he goes to prison, other inmates will “take care of him”, but that’s wishful thinking. Too many of them are just like him.
