www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,543640,00.html QUOTE: Police: California Girl Kidnapped 18 Years Ago Kept as Sex Slave in Couple's Backyard Thursday , August 27, 2009 An 11-year-old California girl kidnapped in 1991 while waiting for a school bus has been found alive, and a convicted sex offender is accused of raping and fathering two children with her while he and his wife held her captive in their backyard. Despite the shocking revelations, the discovery of Jaycee Lee Dugard brought sudden relief to her family 18 years after their young girl disappeared. Dugard had been kept with the two girls, ages 11 and 15, in a series of tents and sheds hidden behind the Antioch, Calif., home of Phillip and Nancy Garrido, the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday at a news conference. The couple has been arrested on several charges stemming from the discovery. Dugard and her two daughters are "in good health, but living in a backyard for the past 18 years does take its toll," Undersheriff Fred Kollar said. Now 29, Dugard 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, Carl Probyn — 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. He said the news that she was found 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," Probyn, 60, told The Sacramento Bee. The Garridos were arrested Wednesday after Phillip Garrido raised suspisions of campus police at the University of California, Berkeley. Garrido was spotted there with two young girls trying to gain access to the campus library, Kollar said. Campus police then notified Garrido's parole officer who arranged an interview. Garrido, who was on parole from a 1971 conviction for rape and kidnapping, arrived for the meeting accompanied by the two girls, as well as wife and another woman, named Allissa. Allissa later was identified as Jaycee Dugard, the blond, pony-tailed 11-year-old who was taken from the school bus stop minutes after she left her South Lake Tahoe home in 1991. "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." The Garridos are being held in the Contra Costa County Jail in Martinez on potential charges of kidnapping and conspiracy on Wednesday, police said. Phillip Garrido also could face charges of rape by force, lewd and lascivious acts with a minor and sexual penetration. Click here for more on this story from FOX40.com. At the Garrido's house, barriers were constructed to "inhibit outside viewing and prevent the victims from contact with the outside world," Kollar said. Garrido was on lifetime parole and his arrest raises questions about how closely parolees are monitored. But Kollar said a parole officer who had visited Garrido's house previously had not noticed anything amiss — the compound was well concealed by shrubs, garbage cans and a tarp. The neighborhood is described as a residential area, with the Garridos home raising no suspicion from the outside world as to the horrific compound concealed in the backyard. 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 left for school the morning of June 10, 1991, dressed all in pink and stood at the bus stop two blocks from her house. As her stepfather watched from the driveway, a gray car with two people inside pulled up, grabbed the child and sped away, according to witnesses. 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 shouted at neighbors to call the police. 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.

This is an amazing story. Consider that the girl was only 11 years old when kidnapped and is now 29. She has a 15 year old child fathered by her abductor. Subtracting 15 from 29 gives 14. So she was only 14 when she gave birth and probably 13 when she conceived. Whoa!
Her 11 and 15 year old kids have never seen a doctor or attended school. They lived in tents and sheds in the abductor's back yard.
What are the chances that those kids could ever have a normal life? What about their mom? And where was the predator's wife in all this?
Does he go to prison for the rest of his life? I certainly hope so? What about his wife?
He was on probation for an earlier forcible rape. Isn't probation suppose to equate to supervision? Where were the probation officers? Why did this go on for so long?
You might have an 11 year old daughter of your own. You might be standing next to this guy in the checkout line at your local supermarket. Gives me the creeps.

Dearest Das! This is truly an evil horror story! The predator is suspected of abducting other girls too and murdering them since they were more resistant to the brainwashing that Jaycee Lee Dugard suffered!

It was a couple and they managed to keep it quiet for 18 years. That might be because they lived miles from nowhere but it also gives a depressing though as to how many more kids might be hidden away by their own parents in similar sort of seclusion. That is why, even though they can get appallingly out of hand, we need interfering Social Services to poke their nose in and ask awkward questions.
Traveller children here routinely present problems and often problems getting them into school too. That might have been fine once when they traditionally had a circuit of manual jobs and horse trading, but most of that has gone now and they need to live in the same world as everybody else. A lot do, especially those with some belief in a genuine culture and tradition (though there's a difference between Travellers whose origin isn't understood, established Romany and the recent East European Roma - starting that they all hate each other), but there are always those on the side with no loyalty except to themselves.

Even though the "traveller" comparison isn't perfect, it does raise some sobering questions; leaving school aside, how can these children learn to think of anyone outside their family circle?
I am longing to find out why this man decided to take Jaycee and the children with him to the police station. Was she clever enough to convince him she would act as an alibi, I wonder?

This brainwashing of kidnap victims is called the "Stockholm Syndrome".. Another example is Carol Smith, who was held captive by a predator for 7 years under horrific conditions, with constant threats. www.trutv.com/library/crime/criminal_mind/psychology/sex_slave/7.htmlSome prisoners in Gulags, concentration camps, etc. succumb to this brainwashing too and become docile, obedient and even loyal to their kidnappers. Think of the US prisoners in the Korean war, who served as spies for their captors after being brainwashed and released!

This kind of filth should be dragged into the street and shot in front of their community, their corpses hanged from lamposts as a warning to others.

There is a suggestion that his wife was brainwashed into doing what she was told. Maybe she is a victim too.
Someone on the radio was saying that the older the kidnapped person, the more chance they have of survival. A frightened three year old will behave as that; by the age of 10, children have developed a kind of survival instinct, and recognise that if they "side" with the captor, they stand more chance of getting through the ordeal.

Si is "stoickholm Syndrome" brainwashing, or a tactic developed by the kidnapped victim to survive? There is surely a difference?

AH en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndromei try to avoid complicated sounding expressions, but the very thought of being reduced to a zombie by a criminal scares me to death, so i'll just sweep this under the rug called "Stockholm Syndrome".

I can't see that Srockholm Syndrome would apply for 18 years but from a practical point of view, there's not much that a teenager could do except to accept the situation. By accounts given, the man treated her better that his real wife, so she had no more reason to run away than any other pet and nowhere to run to if she did. It's a situation little different from the loyal slavery that has been the norm for most of the world until something over 100 years ago. It is easy to imagine a judge 200 years ago, had she been bought in open market, condemning what an unnaturally ungrateful threat to society she would be to run away.
I don't buy the brainwashed wife ploy though. I don't think women any less mentally competent than men or naturally obedient. Some might fear their man's violence when it's only between them, but when they have a kidnapped girl in the back garden who could guarantee his almost instant arrest, this kind of excuse The Big Bad Man held Poor Feeble Female Me in thrall is the modern version of I was only obeying orders. She is no different from him just as Rosemary West was no different from Fred and Myra Hindley not just 'no different' but the actual directive brains directing the mentally retarded Ian Bradley.

Ratarsed, the "I was under his domination" or "he made me do it" excuses have been over-used by female criminals. Given that in the past they have usually been swallowed by sympathetic lay magistrates (not so sure about judges), I can quite understand women adopting them as a ploy when standing in the dock with a male co-defendant.
It is just that Garrido's own brother is quoted as saying that Nancy obeys all Garridos instructions without question; the way he described it, she was almost robotic. No, the source wasn't terribly reliable, one of the red tops picked up in a cafe, but it might just be true!

There's always the possibility that some people are like that. There's more than a few entire countries have been mesmerised by a Great Leader too without much real need for secret police. Maybe he is charismatic and she really is a weak soul looking for a psychological crutch. Just because it's a standard defence ploy doesn't mean it can never be true I suppose. You'd be less likely to find the same devotion from a man to a woman because men have to get out more but I suppose you would find it in some forms of gang loyalty.

I hope this predator gets a death sentence! He's suspected of kidnapping and murdering 2 other girls! What he did to Jaycee was in a sense murder too and i wish the courts would agree! www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,553200,00.html QUOTE: Police Locate 'Area of Interest' in Backyard of Alleged Kidnappers Monday , September 21, 2009 Authorities are bracing for a "tragic ending" as they prepare to dig in an "area of interest" they located in the backyard of a Northern California couple charged in the kidnapping of a little girl — and suspected in the disappearances of two others. Hayward, Calif. police used bone-sniffing dogs and a high-tech sonar device to zero in on a piece of property owned by Phillip and Nancy Garrido, who authorities say kept a captive girl locked away in a soundproof backyard compound for 18 years. A human remains detection dog — who can pick up the scent of bones hundreds of years old buried deep under ground — was brought to the backyard and alerted in the same area that cadaver dogs had "indicated" remains during a search last week, said Hayward Police Lt. Chris Orrey. The spot is also the site of an underground anomaly located last week by a ground-penetrating radar device (GPR), Orrey said at a press conference Monday afternoon. Authorities have conducted an exhaustive search of the Garrido's house and property, hoping to find evidence related to the disappearances of other young girls during the 1980s, but have so far not found anything noteworthy. "We didn't find anything of significance that would help us with the investigation so far," Orrey told reporters. "Now if we find anything it's going to be a tragic ending." The Garridos are charged in the 1991 kidnapping of Jaycee Dugard, who was snatched outside her South Lake Tahoe home when she was 11 years old. Prosecutors say the Garridos held her captive for 18 years as Dugard was raped repeatedly by Phillip, who fathered two children by her. The couple has pleaded not guilty. Police officials and the FBI are seeking any evidence on the property that may link the Garridos to the 1988 abduction of Michaela Garecht, then 9, outside of a market. Authorities are also looking for clues that may tie the couple to the 1989 disappearance of Ilene Misheloff, who was then 13. Orrey said that police have finished their investigation inside the Garridos' home, and are preparing to end their work in the backyard if excavations planned for Monday do not turn up any evidence. "If we don't find anything of significance we hope to wrap up the operation (Tuesday)," she said. On Wednesday, police recovered a bone fragment on the Garrido property and several more in a next door neighbor's yard that also was being searched by investigators because Phillip Garrido had access to it. Tests are being done to determine if the bones are human or animal, officials said. Investigators continued clearing trash and brush from the backyard that was outfitted with tents, sheds, an above ground pool and showers, and have collected personal items that they wouldn't identify that they say belong to Dugard.

Phillip Garrido gave client child-safety tips
Phillip Matier,Andrew Ross
Sunday, September 27, 2009
Janice Gomes had an unlikely helper when she came up with a tip sheet for parents and caregivers on how to protect children from being kidnapped: Phillip Craig Garrido.
The child safety advocate told us that she first met the man now suspected in the Jaycee Dugard kidnapping 15 years ago at an Antioch beauty parlor, where he was passing out cards for his printing business. A few years later, after she had started a safety awareness nonprofit, she contacted Garrido about printing up a flyer.
They talked over the idea at his Walnut Avenue home, where Dugard was allegedly imprisoned in a backyard compound, and Garrido volunteered a few suggestions for the flyer.
"He said, 'Children should never walk to bus stops by themselves, because they are no match for adults,' " Gomes said.
It was chilling advice, in hindsight: Garrido and his wife, Nancy, are accused of snatching 11-year-old Jaycee from the street in South Lake Tahoe in 1991 as the girl waited by herself for a school bus.
Garrido also discounted the idea that there was safety in numbers, Gomes said.
"I don't believe that," she says he told her. "If an adult approaches a group of kids and they scatter, you only have to grab one and that's all you want."
Garrido produced the flyers, which Gomes distributed over the years to churches, neighborhood groups and the like.
Looking back at it, Gomes still feels a bit sick. She knows that Dugard, whom Garrido referred to as his daughter, helped out with the business and that the young woman handled the printing chores for the flyer.

I truly wish in my heart that the predator, who held Jaycee Dugard captive for 18 years could get the death penalty! It's an abomination that this predator could get so far with it's evil ways! The other victims were murdered, but Jaycee surrendered to the predator and survived physically! Believe me if a so called vigilante ends the earthly existence of this monster i will do what i can to support this so called vigilante! edition.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/10/14/jaycee.dugard.photo/index.html QUOTE: (CNN) -- The first images are emerging of an adult Jaycee Dugard, the woman who was kidnapped when she was 11 and allegedly held captive for 18 years by a couple in an elaborate compound hidden in the backyard. Dugard is featured on the cover of the new issue of People magazine, smiling brightly in the photo, her face framed by long brown hair. "I'm so happy to be back with my family," Dugard told the magazine. She lives in seclusion with her mother Terry Probyn and her two daughters, who police say were fathered by her captor Phillip Garrido. "They live a surprisingly normal life, considering the circumstances," said Terry Probyn's stepmother, Joan Curry, according to the magazine. Read the story on People.com Dugard spends her time riding horses and cooking and is considering collaborating on a book, People reported. Watch a senior editor with People magazine explain why the photos are appearing now » Garrido and his wife are accused of abducting Dugard in 1991 from a bus stop near her home in South Lake Tahoe, California, and keeping her in the compound behind their home in Antioch, California. They were arrested in August and have been charged with a combined 29 felony counts in connection with the kidnapping and rape of Dugard. Both Garridos pleaded not guilty to the charges. Last month, an attorney for Dugard's family said it has been a difficult transition for her and her two daughters, who are now 11 and 15, given her captivity spanned more than half her life and was the only world she knew for so long. "But there is no question that she knows that terrible and wrong things were done to her and that those people must be held accountable," McGregor Scott said. Dugard will testify against the Garridos, he said. Scott acknowledged Dugard would have to relive the "trauma" in court by sharing the "very, very sordid tale."
