Jaycee Dugard found ALIVE/Phillip Garrido Sentenced To Life In Prison

mimi4all! It's so good to see you!!

I'm sure it will be a very, very slow process to bring Jaycee and the young girls into a sense of normal life. I only have to hope that he did not inflict his deviant sexual abuse on the two little girls. Hopefully, they were spared from that at least. I cannot imagine the joy in Jaycee's mother's heart to have her daughter with her again after all these years of pure hell wondering where her baby was and what happened to her. I wish them well and hope all the support in the world is there for them.
This freak of nature had obviously convinced himself that at this point in time no one would figure him out. After 18 years of controlling Jaycee, then the girls being 11 and 15, only knowing him all of their lives. He was delusional in thinking he could walk in broad daylight with them as his "family". Thank God, he did though. They were standing there handing out religious phamplets for a reason, to be found. Things like that were just meant to be.

I wana know if teh eleven year odl age is wrong or someone else fathered the child or did she take jaycee to prison for conjugal visits with the guy
cause the dates dont add up he was in prison from
93 to 99 the eleven year had to be conceived in 97 or 98

1. He was convicted in 1977 for kidnapping and rape, and served 10 years of a 50 year sentence, getting out in 1987.

2. He was convicted again in 1988 for rape, served less than a year of a 5 year to life sentence, being paroled in 1988.

3. Kidnapped Jaycee, with help of his wife, in 1991.

4. Went to prison from April till August, 1993 for violation of his probation.

5. First daughter born in 1994, second one in 1998.

6. Girls thought of Jaycee as their sister.

7. Jaycee has strong feelings for this pervert, said it was almost like a marriage.

Brainwashing and threats, that's what most perverts and predators do to their young victims.

How does somebody who just raped again, after spending ten years in prison for kidnapping and rape, serve less than a year in prison? What exactly was supposed to deter him from committing further crimes? They really need to start making the punishments fit the crimes.

Why would someone only serve less than a year on a sentence of 5 years to life? When my daughter was murdered if the judge gave him not less than 15, nor more than 20 years, he would have to do the 15 before he was eligible for parole. He was sentenced to not less than 20, nor more than 20 years, the judge thought he would do the full 20 years.

But, he was released after 8 years, and had supervised parole for the balance of the sentence. I have no respect for the court system, as they make sure the perp gets all the breaks and has all the rights, and the victims and their family get nothing.

The perps do seem to get all the breaks c4c, and that is a tragic miscarriage of justice. I'm so sorry to hear that the guy who murdered your daughter didn't fully pay for his crime. He should have never seen the outside of a prison again for the rest of his life.

Ex-schoolmate, teacher joyful at Jaycee Dugard's survival

MEYERS — The news that Jaycee Lee Dugard was alive brought her former teacher back to the fifth-grade classroom of 1991 where scared children faithfully maintained the desk, books and pencils of a kidnapped girl and wrote letters to her — wherever she might have been.

On Wednesday, at a Bay Area parole office, Dugard revealed her identity — and her torturous story: The 29-year-old woman was the shy 11-year-old who once sat near the front of Sue Bush's classroom at Meyers Elementary School near South Lake Tahoe.

She was the girl, abducted on the way to school in 1991, whose disappearance traumatized a community. She was the girl who left people wondering in sadness, so many years later, what might have happened to her.

Thursday, she was the source of joy — and more wonder — for those who knew young Jaycee or came to know her story. Most weren't yet aware of the circumstances of her alleged captivity with a sex offender with whom she had two children.

Here is an interesting article that says the police are checking into a possible link between Garrido and the unsolved murders of nine women during the 1990s. The bodies were found near an area where Garrido had been working.

That is the first I have read of a possible link between Phillip Garrido and nine murdered women. I don't think there was anything in those cases that pointed towards Garrido, but the police are probably exercising due diligence by checking into Garrido's possible involvement.

Jaycee Lee Dugard's prison: First pictures of filthy backyard jail where religious fanatic held kidnapped girl
By Sharon Churcher In Antioch, California and Peter Sheridan In Los Angeles
Last updated at 2:13 PM on 30th August 2009

These extraordinary pictures are the first glimpse inside the squalid back garden compound where Jaycee Lee Dugard was kept captive for 18 years.
A hand-painted 'Welcome' sign leads the way to a rundown world of tattered tents and outbuildings amid overgrown trees and bushes.
Police are now investigating evidence that Jaycee was 'brainwashed' by the religious fanatic who snatched her when she was 11.

Prison camp: A child's deckchair stands with two adult chairs in a dusty yard beside a collection of pot plants. Empty cans, a vase and an old saucepan lie discarded in front of a decrepit tent. Inside the tent is evidence of a cat lover - a row of books about cats, several cat toys and a 1,000-piece jigsaw entitled Cats

The first words Jaycee said to her mother when the pair were tearfully reunited were: 'Hi Mom, I have babies,' it has emerged.

The 29-year-old's stepfather also claims that she had developed a powerful emotional bond with her abductor, Phillip Garrido. Carl Probyn said: 'Jaycee has strong feelings with this guy. She feels it's almost like a marriage.'

No place like home: A hand-made 'Welcome' sign hangs from a tree at the rear of secret backyard where Jaycee Dugard and her daughters lived in sheds, tents and outbuildings. The innocence of the scene is underlined by three decorations, apparently a bell, a butterfly and a dove, under the sign. The trees and shrubs helped to conceal the backyard from neighbours

Experts have pointed out that although the makeshift compound where Jaycee and the two daughters allegedly fathered by Garrido lived included an 8ft by 4ft steel cage, it appeared unused. And Jaycee and the girls, aged 15 and 11, were allowed to play in the garden, in view of neighbours.

Her captor claimed to be a minister of a 'church' he called God's Desire and indoctrinated her with self-published religious tracts.
Jaycee never appealed for help, despite his repeated assaults. She is still undergoing extensive medical and psychological tests at a secret location in Northern California, where she is staying with her mother, Terry, and a half-sister under FBI protection.
One of America's leading hostage experts, retired FBI agent Clint Van Zandt, said: 'The relationship that can develop between hostages and kidnap victims and their captors is now known as "the Stockholm Syndrome", a type of emotional bonding that is in reality a survival strategy for victims of emotional and physical abuse.'


Chilling: One of the most ominous sights in the earth-floored compound is an 8ft by 4ft wire cage, half draped with a tarpaulin. It is not clear what use the cage might have been put to. Next to it is a crudely built hut with white sliding doors with two black metal clasps which suggest that it could be opened only from the outside. The hut was largely empty

A source close to the case said: 'The initial findings are that physically she is remarkably healthy but that some type of brainwashing clearly occurred.
'There were moments in the 18 years when she could have called attention to who she was.
'She hadn't forgotten her real identity. In fact, she remembers a remarkable amount about her old life. But from what we know so far about Mr Garrido, it seems he played mind games with her.
'It sounds simplistic, but the real prison was her brain.'


Chaos: The scene inside one of the dingy sheds. On the left is a microwave oven, catfood in a plastic container and two hanging vegetable baskets. The rest of the area seems to have been used as an office. There are three old swivel chairs and a reading lamp on a small table strewn with papers. The floor and shelves are covered in files, boxes and bric-a-brac

Jaycee may also have been forced to take part in orgies in the backyard where she was held, the News of the World reports.

A neighbour said he saw men lining up in Garrido's garden, before entering the tents 'one by one'.
Mike Rogers, 49, told the newspaper that he once peered through the garden fence during an 'excessively loud' party next door.
'What I saw was not normal,' he said. 'Eight to 10 men, mostly Mexican, would gather in a line in his garden drinking beer, yelling and screaming and swearing.

'They normally had a bonfire and I saw them entering the tent one by one. On a number of occasions I saw them bobbing up and down through the window and I thought, 'My God, there is something sexual going on in there'.


Toys and games: Two fluffy Furbies, an electronic toy from the Nineties, sit on a pile of computer discs next to a computer joy stick. The toys were robots which could speak. Many toys were scattered around the site, including Barbie dolls with limbs and heads missing. There were several threadbare teddy bears but little evidence of teenage culture such as pop posters

'I thought they had a prostitute or something in there. I thought it might have been some kind of sex party or something.
'I just hope that sicko wasn't pimping out Jaycee or those children. The thought makes me sick.'
But, despite being disturbed by what he had seen, Mr Rogers said he didn't think he had enough evidence to call police.

'I'd told my brother about the parties and he agreed that unless they got really out of control I should keep out of it,' he said.


Self help: This book has a particularly ironic title, given the circumstances of its discovery. The author, Jean Illsley Clarke, is an American expert in family relationships. Self-Esteem: A Family Affair, which came out in 1998, sought to help parents increase the confidence and happiness of their children by the subtle use of encouragement

Jaycee's stepfather Mr Probyn, who is being briefed regularly on the case, has disclosed that she is racked by 'guilt' because she 'bonded' with Garrido.
Her formal education ceased when Garrido allegedly snatched her in 1991 and Mr Probyn said he has been informed that her 'emotional age' is still that of an 11-year-old.
'She didn't try to get away,' he told The Mail on Sunday. 'It probably kept her alive. If she had been really spunky and fought and tried to escape, maybe she would have been killed.'


Poignant playthings: A teddy bear lies abandoned on a trampoline in the parched area that acted as a playground. Just visible in the background is a yellow slide and a set of swings. Behind that can be glimpsed the wall of an empty swimming pool

Meanwhile Garrido's first victim, Katherine Callaway of Las Vegas, Nevada, who was kidnapped, raped repeatedly and held as a sex slave by Garrido in 1976, said: 'He's a monster.'
Callaway was a 25-year-old casino worker when Garrido hitched a ride in her car. He made her drive to a warehouse in Reno that had been prepared as a 'sex palace'.
Police now believe Katherine's abduction was, essentially, a 'trial run' for the kidnapping of Jaycee in South Lake Tahoe, California, years later.
Just as he built a labyrinthine backyard prison for Jaycee, Garrido created a makeshift cell for Katherine in the warehouse. It contained a movie projector, sex toys, a spotlight, wine and pornographic magazines.
At his trial, there was testimony that he used handcuffs to restrain her and that he used LSD, cocaine and cannabis.
Retired Reno police detective Dan DeMaranville, who worked on the case, said: 'I asked him after he confessed why he did it and he said it was the only way he could get sexual satisfaction.'
However, investigators have found no evidence that Jaycee - who was less than half Callway's age - was physically restrained.


Make-up for a captive: A stained flower-patterned box which might hold make-up or jewellery sits on a table in one hut. Three plastic boxes of cheap make-up and a hair brush lie on the table. A number of girls' hairbands have been wound around the brush handle


Tales of escape: Fantasy novel Shadow Bridge lies on a worn bedside cabinet. The 2008 book features an orphaned female puppeteer who travels through a mythical land of bridges, meeting strange characters. Also visible is another fantasy novel, A Game Of Thrones



A few years after Jaycee was kidnapped, her desperate grandmother visited a psychic. 'I wanted to find out if she was still alive,' said Wilma Probyn, 83.
'I didn't want to give up hope, but it was agonising to keep holding on. We had pretty much given up hope. The psychic said that Jaycee was alive, in Northern California with a couple, living happily and being looked after and going to school.
'It turns out she was alive but not happy. She didn't go to school and wasn't allowed to see a doctor.
'She was kept caged in an old shed for 18 years without contact with anybody, raped, and she's got two children by that creep, a sexual predator.
'We've always been hoping for the day when she'd be found but when I found out how she'd lived for the last 18 years, I wasn't happy. It's a shock.
'I'm delighted to have Jaycee back, but I'm saddened by how she was treated, living in squalor like that.
'Jaycee's 29 now but she's been cut off from the world since she was 11. We don't know if she'll ever be able to recover from this.'


Tales of horror: The main author among these battered paperbacks is Dean Koontz, whose novels often feature sociopathic monsters. Crime novels by Patricia Cornwell and James Patterson and romances by Danielle Steel are also visible

I feel sickened by this, and so incredibly saddened by it all.

Garrido's Ex Recalls Life With 'Monster'

(Aug. 31) -- Phillip Garrido, the California man accused of kidnapping 11-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard and turning her into a sex slave, was an abusive control freak who once tried to gouge his first-wife's eyes out with a safety pin, the woman says.
Christine Murphy, who was Garrido's high school sweetheart and first wife, told the syndicated TV show 'Inside Edition' that he attacked her once when another man flirted with her.

Police find no link between Garrido, slayings
Jaycee Dugard’s alleged kidnapper was suspect in 1990s prostitute killings



updated 9:58 a.m. ET, Wed., Sept . 2, 2009

PITTSBURG, Calif. - Police in the Northern California city of Pittsburg say they have found no evidence to connect kidnapping suspect Phillip Garrido or his wife to several unsolved murders.

Following Jaycee Lee Dugard's reappearance last week after 18 years missing, Pittsburg police focused on Garrido in connection to the slayings of prostitutes in the 1990s.

Police spokesman Lt. Brian Addington said after four days of searching Garrido's house, backyard and a neighbor's yard, they found no clear link.

Addington said authorities will have to conduct further forensic examination on a few items they found to completely rule them out as evidence.

Authorities said Monday they found one small bone fragment in the neighbor's yard but did not know whether it was human.

Meanwhile, the Department of Corrections says it's reviewing its procedures after agency officials failed to detect that Dugard and two girls were allegedly living with Garrido, who is a registered sex offender.

Department spokesman Gordon Hinkle said Tuesday the agency is looking into the matter.

Garrido and his wife Nancy have pleaded not guilty to abducting Dugard and holding her captive in their backyard for 18 years.

Agents routinely knocked on the Garridos' front door during parole checks after Phillip Garrido was released from prison in 1988 for kidnap and rape.

Victim of kidnap accused speaks out
SAM STANTON AND KIM MINUGH, SACRAMENTO
September 3, 2009
KATIE Callaway was just going to stop for a minute to pick up some coffee for her boyfriend.

The 25-year-old blackjack dealer from Tahoe City, California, picked up the coffee, some cooking oil and rice and slipped back into her car, then began to back out. That was when Phillip Garrido tapped on the passenger window and asked for a ride.

It was November 22, 1976, and Katherine Gayle Callaway was about to begin a terrifying, night-long ordeal at the hands of a man who has become infamous worldwide since his arrest last week in the 1991 kidnapping of 11-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard.



In the 18 years that Garrido allegedly hid Dugard in the backyard of his mother's home in the town of Antioch, he was largely a mystery. On Tuesday, as federal officials downloaded hundreds of pages from his 1977 federal court trial into the US District Court computer system, a fuller, more disturbing picture of the 58-year-old Garrido and the ordeal Ms Callaway suffered emerged.

Evidence showed Garrido was a troubled young man with a sexual addiction so great that he would masturbate in drive-in theatres, restaurants, bars, public toilets and outside the windows of homes. But he was mentally stable enough to understand the charges he was facing, a psychiatrist told the court in 1977.

Ms Callaway's boyfriend at the time, David Wade, recalled on Tuesday how she would later tell him the young man who tapped on the car window ''looked all right''. The polite stranger with the ponytail pointed to a Mercedes-Benz parked nearby and said it was his but had broken down. Ms Callaway agreed to give him a ride. ''That was her first mistake,'' Mr Wade said.

It was about 7.20pm when she picked up Garrido. Ms Callaway barely spoke to Garrido, even as he kept asking questions about her. She turned on to the road towards Mr Wade's home. Garrido told her he lived just a little further up, to keep driving. She pulled over a couple of minutes later where he said he lived.

''I went to say, 'Here you go', and I looked, and there was an empty lot there,'' she testified.

That was when Garrido reached over and turned off the engine. He grabbed her by the neck, then held her hands.

''If you do everything I say, you won't get hurt,'' he told her. ''I'm serious.''

Garrido handcuffed her, put a leather belt around her neck and under her knees to keep her from looking up. Then he threw a coat over her and began driving. Ms Callaway said she tried to remain calm, to engage him in conversation.

''Why me?'' she asked. ''Well, it wasn't you intentionally, could have been anybody,'' he said. ''It just happened that you happened to be attractive, and that is a fault in this case.''

Ms Callaway could see they had driven into Reno, where they were parked in front of a warehouse. He pried the lock off and took her inside. Behind some heavy plastic sheeting, there was a mattress, with a ''red, old satin, holey, old sheet'', she said.

There were red, blue and yellow stage lights set up on the mattress, a movie projector and a stack of pornographic magazines. For 5½ hours, as a radio played in the background, occasionally giving updates on the time, Garrido raped Ms Callaway. He insisted she drink some wine and smoke some hash.

As the radio announcer said it was 2.38am, someone banged on the door of the shed. Garrido pulled on his jeans and boots, and went outside.

Reno police officer Clifford Conrad was standing outside. Conrad began to question Garrido when Ms Callaway poked her head out from behind the plastic sheeting.

''Help me,'' she said, according to Officer Conrad's testimony. ''She just said, 'Help me', again and she ran out.''

She was nude and screamed that he was trying to rape her, the policeman testified, but Garrido tried to talk his way out of the jam. He implied that Ms Callaway was his girlfriend and that he was married and lived down the street.

Ms Callaway later told Mr Wade that Garrido tried to play it off like he was having sex with his girlfriend, that the officer initially thought Ms Callaway was ''crazy'' and he sent her back into the shed to get dressed. He also let Garrido follow her in.

Inside, Garrido pleaded with Ms Callaway not to tell the police what happened. She assured him she wouldn't, Mr Wade said, then ran outside and repeated that she had been raped and kidnapped.

Garrido was arrested, and in 1977 was convicted in state and federal courts. He was released after 11 years of his 50-year sentence.

Ms Callaway is now married and lives with her husband in Las Vegas, where she is known as Katherine Hall. She is speaking publicly now about her ordeal and on Tuesday was in New York for television appearances. MCT
