I wonder why he was at UC Berkley?

I wonder how the police officer knew he was an RSO? 

And I've been wondering both of these two questions.

Sex offender, wife arrested for girl's 1991 abduction
ShareThis



A 58-year-old convicted rapist and registered sex offender and his wife have been arrested 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 lived with his wife, Nancy Garrido, is listed on the state's Megan's Law sex offender Web site as being convicted of rape.

State parole officials said Garrido came to their attention after someone reported suspicious activity because he was seen near UC-Berekley with two small children.

On Wednesday, parole agents and Concord police brought Garrido in for questioning, along with the two children and an adult female. During questioning, authorities said, Garrido confesse that he had abducted Dugard and the adult woman in his company revealed that she was Dugard.

Garrido had served time in a federal prison in Nevada for sexual assault.

Garrido's next-door neighbor said people in the area had known for years that Garrido was a registered sex offender and that at one point someone called authorities because they were concerned that there were children living in the home.

Haydee Perry, 32, said her boyfriend has a 7-year-old daughter and that he was concerned about Garrido living next door. She said a friend of her boyfriend had called police a few years ago because there were children living in the Garrido home and other people were living in the yard in tents.

Neighbors also noted that Garrido had a penchant for wandering the neighborhood distributing religious tracts and quoting Bible verse, she said. Perry added that nothing came of the call to police.

Perry said she talked to a young girl at the home recently who she estimated was 11 and that the girl had indicated she had two older sisters, one a young teen and the other 28, about the same age as Dugard today.

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.

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?"

Tahoe Kidnapping Drama Began On UC-Berkeley Campus
Posted: 7:20 am PDT August 27, 2009
Updated: 2:02 pm PDT August 27, 2009

CONCORD, Calif. -- A registered sex offender, being held Thursday for the 1991 kidnapping of a South Lake Tahoe girl, was captured after UC Berkeley police saw him accompanying two young girls on campus and called his parole officer, authorities have revealed.

State prison official Scott Kernan said a parole officer was contacted by UC Berkeley campus police after Phillip Garrido was seen on campus.

Garrido was called in by the unidentified state parole officer for questioning and was accompanied by “two women and two juveniles.”

The officer thought something was suspicious and during questioning Garrido admitted to kidnapping Jaycee Lee Dugard from a South Lake Tahoe school bus stop in 1991.

Garrido, 58, of Antioch, and his wife, Nancy Garrido, 54, were taken into custody by the Concord police who were called in by the parole officer to assist in the case.

Both were being held on $1 million bail.

Phillip Garrido was being held on charges including committing lewd acts with a minor, rape and kidnapping. Nancy Garrido was being held on charges that included kidnapping and a conspiracy to commit robbery or rape. 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.

Terry Probyn traveled to the Bay Area early Thursday with her 19-year-old daughter. A family member told KTVU that mother and missing daughter have been reunited in person.

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 a woman 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.

I am seathing that the police were called several times by neighbours that there were small children around this sicko and nothing happened.  Had they followed up Jaycee would have been found earlier.  Who was living on his property in tents.  Sounds Jim Jones'ish to me.

Source: 1991 Kidnap Victim Was Sex Slave, Bore Children With Sex Offender

ANTIOCH - FOX40 News has learned exclusive new details in the 1991 kidnapping case of Jaycee Lee Dugard.

Authorities tell FOX40 News that Dugard bore several children for sex offender Phillip Garrido, who kept her in a backyard device -- possibly a shed -- as a sex slave for both Garrido and his wife, Nancy Garrido.

Both Phillip and Nancy Garrido were arrested as suspects in the kidnapping case. Their Antioch home was searched for evidence Thursday morning.

Authorities with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's Division of Adult Parolee Operations report a parolee agent helped crack the 18-year-old kidnapping case while following up on a tip that Garrido was seen with two small children on the campus of UC Berkeley. The diligent questioning of the parolee officer led Garrido to reveal the kidnapping of Dugard. Further questioning revealed Dugard and Garrido were the parents of the two children.

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.

Dugard was abducted in 1991 from a bus stop near her Meyers home. Authorities are conducting DNA tests on Dugard, but say they are certain they have found the missing 29-year-old.

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

FOX40 News and FOX40.com will deliver additional information as it becomes available.

Thanks NorthernRose

It would appear that the high risk areas are where most of the south of the border migrant farm workers live and work..


Although on that link for the map is a user comment that discounts the map as inaccurate..
That the numbers are much lower.

It really is difficult to get an accurate count of stranger abductions in the united states. In comparison Russia does not think anyone is missing..


What I hope to do is learn from this girl.. We can only help if we try to understand and learn from her experience and then go find everyone of these weirdo's and kick there asses..
or something like that..

I know and by reading the last article that you posted, why would Garrido bring two women and children with him to be questioned? WTH

Edward I knew you would be interested in that map.  How many more of these sicko's have children locked up?  Where are Natalee, Amber and Lindsey?  I would like to do a tad bit more than kick their asses right now.  Waterboarding is too good for them.

ANTIOCH (KRON) -- Kidnapping victim Jaycee Lee Dugard has now been reunited with her mother 18 years after she was abducted from her El Dorado County home.

Dugard's mother wasoverjoyed to learn the daughter she feared dead was actually alive and well.

The victim was found after an investigation by state parole agents.

Investigators say they called Phillip Garrido in for questioning at their Concord office after U.C. Berkeley police officers  spotted the registered sex offender close to children on the campus. Parole spokesman Scott Kernan says two adult women and two children accompanied Garrido to the office. 

Parole officers called for help from Concord police when they couldn't identify one of the adult women.  Eventually during the course of the questioning, Garrido reportedly confessed that the woman was Dugard. 

Dugard and his wife Nancy were taken into custody.  They have since been moved to El Dorado County where the initial kidnapping took place 18 years ago.  It's unclear who now has custody of the children.

Parole officials say Dugard served time in federal prison in Lompoc on an earlier kidnapping charge then was transfered to a Nevada prison to serve time for rape.  He was released in 1999.  Officials did not provide details of the earlier crimes. 

One big question that remains is what happened to Dugard while Garrido was in prison.

Parole officials say they have been keeping track of Garrido since his 1999 prison release including GPS monitoring.  Authorities say he had no record of parole violations during that time.

Contra Costa County sheriff's deputies, parole officials and federal agents searched the Garrido home on Walnut Avenue near Antioch in connection with the case. 

Proseuctors say they're considering what charges can be brought in the case since the statute of limitations on kidnapping has long expired. 

According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Dugard was kidnapped on June 10, 1991.

She was last seen walking to a bus stop at 8:15 a.m. wearing a pink windbreaker and pink stretch pants. As she walked, a gray, two-tone late-model sedan was seen making a U-turn on the street.

The car approached Jaycee and a woman described as about 30 years old with long, dark hair pulled her inside, according to the center. A man was also seen in the car.

Dugard's step-father says the child's mother has talked with the victim since the arrest.  He says she remembers the kidnapping and was able to answer detailed questions about her childhood.

Stay tuned to KRON 4 and KRON4.com for the latest on this developing story.  KRON4.com will live stream the news conference from El Dorado County starting at 3:00 p..m.

Sex offender's neighborhood searched as woman kidnapped 18 years ago emerges [updated]

A 29-year-old woman abducted from South Lake Tahoe, Calif., as a child 18 years ago has been found, and a man and woman have been arrested in connection with the case, authorities said today.

[Updated, 12:30 p.m.: Authorities arrested Phillip Garrido, a registered sex offender, and his wife, Nancy Garrido of Antioch on Wednesday night in connection with the case, said Jimmy Lee, spokesperson for the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department. 

Garrido, 58, is listed on the state's Megan's Law sex offender website as being convicted of rape.

Concord police officers first encountered Dugard at a nearby house on Wednesday while they were conducting a separate investigation, Lovell said. Police began to question the woman and something didn’t add up, he said.
 
"Based on really good police work, the Concord police smelled a rat," Lovell said. Police continued to press the woman, and she eventually revealed her name was Jaycee Dugard.
 
Officers asked her to come to the Police Department for further investigation and Dugard cooperated, Lovell said.

Police are awaiting the results of a DNA test to confirm Dugard's identity, he said.

Dugard's mother, Terry Probyn, has been in contact with her daughter, Lovell said. "They have discussed things that only the two of them would know," Lovell said. "We are about 99% sure the woman is her."

Lovell was one of he original investigators assigned to the Dugard case. "It's a great feeling that she is alive," he said. "We followed up on hundreds, if not thousands, of leads. And out of the blue, this one came to us yesterday."]


Details about the last 18 years of Dugard's life are still unclear.

Dugard was 11 when she was abducted on June 10, 1991, as she walked to a school bus stop on a quiet cul-de-sac in Meyers, Calif., in El Dorado County, authorities said at the time.

As Dugard's stepfather, Carl Probyn, watched from the family garage 200 yards away, a late-model gray car -- with a man and a second person, believed to be a woman, inside -- stopped abruptly in front of the girl. Jaycee was swept into the sedan, authorities said.

Probyn gave chase on a bicycle but the car sped off. "There was nothing I could do," he recalled.

Despite a massive search, local outrage and being featured on the "America's Most Wanted" television program, Dugard was not found. Investigators were unable to identify a suspect.
[Updated at 12:50 p.m.: Carl Probyn, Dugard's stepfather, was calling friends with the news that his stepdaughter had been found, said Phillip Oster, a close friend of 15 years.

"This is a really big event in his life," Oster said. "A mutual friend called me and said that Carl was crying like a little baby. He was so happy."

Probyn, who owns his own wallpaper company, has been living in Orange. Oster said Probyn left him a message last night, sounding happy but serious about the news.

Oster said Probyn didn't always talk about his stepdaugher's abduction. "He didn't wear it on his sleeve but it was something that dented him," Oster said.]

I would like the step dad to be quiet for the moment..

I can feel the stress of the real mom and dad with a child stolen from the dad on his watch and how that would eat them alive and effected there marriage..

REGIONAL: UPDATE: SUSPECT IN JAYCEE DUGARD CASE HAD PREVIOUS KIDNAPPING CONVICTION

An Antioch man arrested Wednesday in the case of Jaycee Dugard, who was abducted in 1991 at age 11 in South Lake Tahoe, was on parole for a conviction in another kidnapping case at the time the girl was taken, according to a federal prison official.

Phillip Craig Garrido, 58, was convicted of kidnapping in U.S. District Court in Nevada, and in March 1977 was sentenced to 50 years in prison, said Brad Murray, a correctional systems officer at the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kan.

Garrido was arrested Wednesday for the kidnapping of Jaycee Dugard, who was abducted on the morning of June 10, 1991, as she walked to a bus stop near her South Lake Tahoe home, according to the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office.

Dugard reportedly turned up in Concord alive and in good health, but Concord police are not yet releasing details about the development and are referring inquiries to the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office.

Concord police on Wednesday arrested Garrido, 58, and his wife Nancy Garrido, 55, who live at a home on Walnut Avenue in an unincorporated pocket of Antioch. The Garridos were booked into Contra Costa County jail in Martinez late Wednesday night, according to jail records.

Nancy Garrido was booked on charges of kidnapping and conspiracy, according to the records. Her husband was booked on charges including kidnapping, conspiracy, rape and committing lewd acts with a minor.

Both were being held in lieu of $1 million bail.

Contra Costa County sheriff's Sgt. Jimmy Lee said the Garridos were picked up at about 11 a.m. today by El Dorado County authorities to be taken to that county.

Phillip Garrido's previous kidnapping conviction had sent him to Leavenworth, where he was an inmate until 1986 when he was transferred to a federal prison in Lompoc, Murray said.

He was paroled from Lompoc in January 1988, but was placed in a halfway house in San Francisco from August to December 1988 because of a minor parole violation, Murray said.

Garrido was not in federal custody at the time of Dugard's abduction, but was arrested again in April 1993 because of another parole violation, according to Murray.

After a month, Garrido was transferred to home supervision and was released from supervision in August 1993, Murray said.

Lee, the Contra Costa County sheriff's spokesman, said that as a sex offender, Garrido is required to register annually with local law enforcement. He has registered with the Contra Costa sheriff's office each year on his birthday since 1999, Lee said.

Residents of Walnut Avenue today grappled with the news that their neighbors had been arrested for Dugard's kidnapping. The couple's gray, one-story home was cordoned off with police tape.

Betty Unpingco has lived on the street for 10 years and said the Garridos moved in after she did.

"We're all shocked, scared that it can happen just a few doors down," she said.

She said she saw Phillip Garrido more than his wife, and that she didn't know him well but that she had once bought business cards from him.

"He was social but he just had a mannerism about him that you didn't trust," Unpingco said.

Angela Crabaugh, whose son lives across the street from the Garridos, described Phillip Garrido as a religious fanatic who was trying to form his own church.

"I just always thought he was very bizarre," she said.

She said her son has seen Phillip Garrido more than once with three young children.

Dugard was abducted on June 10, 1991, while walking to a bus stop near her South Lake Tahoe home wearing a pink windbreaker and pink stretch pants.

As she walked, a gray late-model sedan made a U-turn, approached Jaycee 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.

Dugard's stepfather Carl Probyn, who now lives in Southern California, said today 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 this morning.

Carl Probyn said Dugard's mother had spoken with the woman and that the family is "about 99 percent" certain that the woman is indeed Dugard.

"They were pretty confident when they called her, my wife actually got to talk to her on the telephone," Probyn said.

He said the conversation convinced Terry Probyn that she was talking to her daughter.

"It was kind of short and sweet but my wife did say that she remembers everything," he said. Carl Probyn said he and Terry Probyn are now separated but remain close. He said the mother was flying to the Bay Area.

They were still together in 1991 when Jaycee was kidnapped.

Sources at the FBI said that an evidence response team from the agency was searching through the Garridos' home on Walnut Avenue this morning.

The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office is holding a news conference this afternoon to discuss the latest developments in the case.

The news conference is scheduled for 3 p.m. at the El Dorado Fairgrounds, located at 100 Placerville Drive.

I wonder why he was at UC Berkley?

I wonder how the police officer knew he was an RSO? 

And I've been wondering both of these two questions.

And didn't one of the previous articles say e got out of prison in 1999?  If so, sisn't they check his residence before putting him in jail..they would have found this girl then?  Also ..while he was in jail..did this girl just stay with his wife?
