Contra Costa Authorities Admit Slipping Up In 1991 Kidnapping Case

MARTINEZ - Contra Costa authorities are admitting they missed an opportunity to crack the 1991 kidnapping case of Jaycee Lee Dugard in 2006 after receiving a tip from a neighbor that suspect and convicted sex offender Phillip Garrido.

"The caller said Garrido was psychotic and had a sexual addiction," Sheriff Warren Rupf told reporters Friday afternoon. "I'm first in line to offer organizational criticism and to offer my apologies to the victims and accept responsibility for having missed an earlier opportunity."

Sheriff Rupf said an officer with their department did investigate the claim made by the caller, but did not realize Garrido was a sex offender and did not investigate a claim of a living space in Garrido's backyard.

"No one should have failed to recognize a sexual registrant, including law enforcement," Rupf admitted. "We have a responsibility to report people living in a backyard."

Jaycee Lee Dugard, who was abducted near her Meyers home in 1991, was found Thursday afternoon after Garrido's parole officer received a tip from UC Berkeley police that Garrido was spotted with Dugard on the college campus handing out religious literature. Garrido is said to have fathered two children with Dugard, whom he kept locked in a backyard compound made of sheds and forced the now-29-year-old to act as a sex slave.

JayCee has nothing to be ashamed of

Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response sometimes seen in an abducted hostage, in which the hostage shows signs of loyalty to the hostage-taker, regardless of the danger (or at least risk) in which the hostage has been placed. Stockholm syndrome is also sometimes discussed in reference to other situations with similar tensions, such as battered person syndrome, rape cases, child abuse cases and bride kidnapping. The syndrome is named after the Norrmalmstorg robbery of Kreditbanken at Norrmalmstorg, Stockholm, Sweden, in which the bank robbers held bank employees hostage from August 23 to August 28 in 1973. In this case, the victims became emotionally attached to their victimizers, and even defended their captors after they were freed from their six-day ordeal. The term Stockholm Syndrome was coined by the criminologist and psychiatrist Nils Bejerot, who assisted the police during the robbery, and referred to the syndrome in a news broadcast.

And that was only after 5-6 days in captivity, not 18 years.

Contra Costa Co. Sheriff: "We Missed an Opportunity"


CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CA -- The Contra Costa County Sheriff admitted, "On November 30, 2006 we missed an opportunity to bring an earlier closure to this situation."

Sheriff Warren E. Rupf said in a news conference Friday that a call was made to 911 from an anonymous source that young children were living in tents in a backyard of Phillip Garrido's home in Antioch.

Garrido has been arrested for the kidnapping and rape of Jaycee Lee Dugard who has been missing since 1991.

Authorities say Garrido and his wife Nancy grabbed Dugard as she walked to her school bus stop near her home in South Lake Tahoe.

Sheriff: We 'missed an opportunity' to find Jaycee Dugard

<snipped>
ANTIOCH, California (CNN) -- Law-enforcement officers "missed an opportunity" in November 2006 to find a woman who had been kidnapped as an 11-year-old girl and held since 1991, a California sheriff said.

Someone called 911 on November 30, 2006, to say that a woman and young children were living in tents in the backyard of Phillip Garrido, a registered sex offender, Sheriff Warren E. Rupf of Contra Costa County, California said Friday.

The responding officer left without going into the back yard, the sheriff said.

"This is not an acceptable outcome," he said.

Dugard Suspects to be Arraigned at 1 p.m.

PLACERVILLE, CA - The El Dorado County District Attorney's Office says suspects Phillip Garrido and his wife Nancy Garrido are facing at least 20 charges in the abduction and captivity of Jaycee Dugard.

McGregor Scott, a former U.S. attorney assisting the district attorney's office in the case, said the two principal chages will likely be kidnapping with the purpose of rape, and rape.

A major difficulty, said Scott, is what other charges the Garridos may face because of the statute of limitations. He said the law has changed multiple times in the 18 years since Jaycee Dugard disappeared. In addition, Scott said the potential sentences have also changed.

As for if the three strikes law would apply to Phillip Garrido, Scott said, "It's my understanding, as a matter of public record, this gentleman has a forcible rape conviction in the state of Nevada as well as a federal kidnapping conviction. Both of those would apply as strikes under California three strikes law.

Scott said it was too early to tell of the El Dorado County district atorney would offer a plea deal to Nacy Corrido for her cooperation in the case.

How Jaycee Dugard is Coping

Thursday, just hours after El Dorado County authorities described abductee Jaycee Lee Dugard's 18 years in captivity in Antioch, her stepfather reported to News10 that Jaycee seemed remarkably well considering her ordeal.

In a telephone interview with News10's Cristina Mendonsa, Carl Probyn said the girl's mother Terry reunited with her now 29-year-old daughter Jaycee Thursday -- and said despite the lonely years away, her daughter appeared much as her family remembered her.

"She looks healthy. She looks good," Probyn said.

But Probyn said Terry confirmed some signs of Jaycee's long confinement were present. "She is very remorseful. She's very guilty that she bonded with these people," Probyn said.

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, Jaycee today 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."

[no rose colored glasses]

Word that Jaycee Lee Dugard was held captive by a parolee for 18 years in an Antioch back yard sparked new concern today over the state's proposal to reduce its inmate population by more than 27,000 prisoners, in part by releasing prisoners and relying more heavily on parole.

"This demonstrates the problems that we're going to have if we release thousands of prisoners into our local communities," said state Sen. Tom Harman, R-Huntington Beach.
( no kidding, but they will do it anyway  )

I was surprised and happy when the CoCo Sherriff said at the onset of questioning that all SO's should be chipped to track them.

Forensic Psych: Does Phillip Garrido Really Believe His Kids Cured Him of Pedophilia?

ATLANTA (CBS) How could four individuals, two of them captors and one of them an abducted little girl, come to live together as a family unit for eighteen years? If police have it right, not only did Phillip Garrido, Nancy Garrido, Jaycee Lee Dugard and Garrido's mother live as a family unit, but Phillip Garrido and Jaycee Lee Dugard also had two daughters together (now 11 and 15 years old).

As a forensic psychiatrist, I am interested in how this can happen and what each of them must have been thinking over all those years. Although I have examined none of these individuals, the information in the public domain provides a fascinating glimpse into an extraordinary life.

Let?s start with Phillip Garrido. Paroled as a convicted rapist in 1988. He allegedly abducted 11-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard with the assistance of his wife, Nancy, in 1991. He then used Jaycee as his sex slave and impregnated her for the first time when she was 14 years old.

Typically, in order to rape and kidnap, someone has to think about the victim as an object and not as a human being. This makes it easier. The perpetrator thinks only about his or her own feelings, wishes, and needs. They cannot think about what the victim may be thinking or feeling. They either have no capacity to empathize (e.g., a psychopath) or force themselves not to in order to commit the crimes.

Somewhere along the way, Phillip Garrido says that he changed.

In a jailhouse interview he said that change came after the birth of his second daughter with Dugard. People that worked with him stated that "in the last couple of years, he started to get into this strange religious stuff."

He blogged in 2007 that ?THIS ALL BEGAN BY GOD REMOVING A PROBLEM FROM MY SHOULDERS THAT BEHAVIORAL SCIENTIST BELIEVE IS NOT POSSIBLE TO REMOVE. SINCE THEN MY LIFE HAS SEEN MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS ALLOWING ME TO STAND HERE TODAY A FREE MAN."

Does he believe that the birth of his second daughter "cured" him of pedophilia?

Phillip Garrido and Jaycee Lee Dugard spent years together. Behavioral scientists have long discussed how someone in captivity will start to identify with their captor, may come to like them, and even feel sorry for them when they are caught (i.e., the Stockholm Syndrome).

Did that also happen in reverse in this case? Did the Garridos come to think about Dugard as a person and start to actually care for her? It is certainly possible that the births of his own daughters changed his perspective on women and sex. Only those behavioral scientists that examine him and Dugard may ever know.

In a CBS' The Early Show interview, Dugard's stepfather, Carl Probyn, said his little girl, now a woman, felt guilty.

It would be hard to know if Dugard?s reported feelings of guilt are related to feeling sorry for her biological parents who lost her or her "adoptive" parents who are now under arrest "because of her."

Nancy Garrido and Phillip?s mother, both of whom lived in the house with Phillip Garrido, are more mysterious from a psychiatric perspective. Nancy was either a cold-hearted willing accomplice or an amazingly compliant individual. Some people are so complaint as to never question the requests or commands of an authority figure.

Phillip Garrido?s mother may have not known any truths about Dugan or could have been under the psychological control of her son, Phillip. She reportedly suffers from dementia. We don't know what role that might have played.

Based on his jailhouse interview, Garrido needs a psychiatric evaluation. Based on other victims similar to her, Dugard will need extensive help unraveling her feelings about all of this. Her daughters are in a class unto themselves. Their plight is so rare that we can barely speculate as their road ahead.

OMG  FOX saying a NEW crime scene.  Can it get worse?

[Northern Rose]

No info why house has just been sealed off again with crime tape.  Police from at least 2 jurisdictions are there right now.  No idea why/what was found that  had caused the police to now declare it as another crime scene.  I am praying that has nothing to do with the the two 4 year olds that a neighbour mentioned in an article yesterday.
