Jaycee Dugard kidnapped 18 years ago So Lake Tahoe, CA FOUND ALIVE / 2 arrested

[Edward]

Michaela g. was one of the most disturbing cases I can remember because it happened in Hayward on a busy street with witnesses and complete description of the male involved as well as the vehicle he drove..

Nobody was ever arrested ... He got away with her.

It was and IS and always will be disturbing.

Wyks I commend you for your ability to keep an open mind about Nancy Garrido. 
I wish I could be so fair.  It was Nancy that pulled Jaycee into the monster's vehicle.  It could be that she was his victim way back then  - but to take that little girl! - it sounds too much like Homolka who trolled with Paul Bernardo and
assisted in getting 15 year old Christin French into their vehicle only to be killed after suffering unspeakable tortures for days by both of them.

My gut keeps telling me the answer to Michaela is going to come out in this case.

Dad of Accused Jaycee Kidnapper: He's a Killer
"He was a sex addict, that was his problem," his father said

http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/breaking/FBI-Expands-Search-of-Garrido-Property-56212097.html

Manuel Garrido said he believes his son, Phillip, who stands accused of abducting Jaycee Dugard and fathering her two children, is involved in the slayings of other women, according the New York Post.

Scary stuff... the father of this guy, as well as his brother, knowing beforehand what one of the problems with him is... and they did what??  Turn their heads and look the other way, hoping the worst wouldn't happen?   Guess that's easy for me to say.  Maybe it wasn't easy for them to ignore, or whatever. 

Well, that father also said that monster's mother, whose house he lived in, should have done something. I've read she was SENILE and needed care herself. This mess is too much.

Wonder where she is?  If she is not senile - she should be charged.

I read somewhere that the mother was taken to a nursing home or something. I believe she is 88 years old.

snipped

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.

Jaycee Lee Dugard: 120 sex offenders live within five miles of Philip Garrido's house

More than 120 sex offenders live within five miles of the house where Philip and Nancy Garrido held Jaycee Lee Dugard captive for 18 years.

Dozens of men with convictions for offences against children live only walking distance from the property where Miss Dugard was forced to live in a ramshackle collection of tents and sheds in the back yard.

The run down working class suburb near Antioch, 50 miles east of San Francisco, has become a refuge for convicted paedophiles and residents with children and grandchildren regularly scour a public website which details where they live.

Polly White, 65, whose house backs on to Garrido's, said: "We found out there's a predator living up the road and that's not even Garrido. We were less worried about him than the other one."

Police are visiting other registered sex offenders in the area to see if any of them attended wild sex parties that neighbours reported hearing in Garrido's garden.

Neighbours have described how unsavoury looking men arrived by car at his house, got drunk, took the drug crystal meth and lined up outside a tent.

Antioch, a town of 100,000, has a significantly higher proportion of sex offenders than other similar areas, according to police.

Contra Costy County, which encompasses it, has a population of one million and more than 1,700 registered sex offenders. A single police officer is responsible for monitoring 350 of those.

The area where Garrido lived is not incorporated as part of Antioch, meaning it is not serviced by local government, is sparsely policed and crime-ridden, a backwater where people mind their own business.

One police officer said: "It's not really on the map. If you're a sex offender it's an attractive place to try and hide."

Dawn Cordy, 52, a resident. said the area was "Boonieville" and paedophiles lived there "because they can".

Garrido's garden is now being dug up by police looking for any evidence connecting him to the murder of 10 prostitutes in the Antioch area stretching back 20 years.

They also brought in sniffer dogs to search for human remains. They were searching for three girls who went missing within 40 miles of Garrido's home between 1988 and 1991.

No trace of Michaela Garecht, nine, Ilene Misheloff, 13, or Amanda "Nikki" Campbell has ever been found. Michaela bore a striking resemblance to Miss Dugard.

Police also searched a house next door to Garrido's where he was caretaker until 2006. It was found to have had locks on the outside so that people could be kept inside.

Garrido's father Manuel Garrido acknowledged that his son could be a killer.

Mr Garrido, 87, said: "He was a sex addict, that was his problem. I believe my son killed the prostitutes."

Wow, I said that earlier - now I hope they are collecting DNA from them if they don't already have it.
Anyone get the idea we are leading this investigation?
Nut - her find is now being investigated
Several of us - more children (possibly boys were burried)
Now this.   Seems like other things we have been onto - then we see an article that they are!  Great minds.............think alike!

Does it strike anyone else as weird that the police are visiting other sex offenders to ask them if they were at these parties?  Are they kidding....like a RSO is going to be honest and say yeah I was there, breaking parole, drinking, drugging and having sex with minors and a girl in her twentys. 

[can]

I saw an interview with the stepfather the other day.  He saw the kidnapping and a composite drawing was made.  I was struck by the resemblance to Nancy Garrido.  I think it was hln or cnn... has anyone else seen it?
It appears that the police may have been fixated on stepfather as suspect.  I wonder if they did a parallel investigation.  If not shame on them!!!  Guess there is no point crying about spilled milk.

[Catbert]

I saw the sketch too -

regarding the SO admitting to going to parties, I would imagine they would be safe from violations if they come clean and are willing to testify

[no rose colored glasses]

Thanks to those who post the links, articles, pics and maps, etc.   

Thanks from me also, I just keep reading, and it just gets worse.

Ilene Misheloff, 13

Jaycee Lee Dugard kidnapper Phillip Garrido's first wife Christine Murphy says he's a 'monster'
BY Nancy Dillon In Los Angeles AND Corky Siemaszko In New York
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS

Updated Monday, August 31st 2009, 3:54 PM
 
Monster's first wife says he once "tried to gouge" her eyes out with a safety pin.

Phillip Garrido, who is accused of kidnapping Jaycee Lee Dugard and raping her repeatedly during 18 years of captivity, went into a jealous rage when he saw another man flirting with his wife.

"He took a safety pin and went after my eyes," Christine Murphy told Inside Edition. "He left a scar on my face."

Murphy, who said she and Garrido were high school sweethearts in northern California, said he "smacked" her around during their brief marriage and that she became his first kidnapping victim when she tried to flee him.

"I was always looking for a way to find out how to get away," said Murphy, who worked at a Reno casino to pay the bills while Garrido tried to launch a musical career. "He'd always told me he'd find me wherever."

Murphy said that when she was finally able to escape, Garrido "found me."

"He pulled up, turned around and forced me back into the car," she said, in part one of the Inside Edition interview that airs Monday night.

Calling Garrido a "good manipulator" and a "monster," Murphy said she was relieved when Garrido was sentenced to 50 years in prison in 1976 for kidnapping and raping another woman.

Murphy, who remarried and is now a mother a four, said she had no idea Garrido had been released early and reacted with disgust after he was arrested for turning Dugard into a sex slave and fathering her two daughters.

"It makes me sick to my stomach," she said. "He's pretty much capable of anything."

Murphy spoke out as Dugard, who was just 11 when she was abducted in June 1991 from a bus stop near her home in South Lake Tahoe, Calif., was trying to reconnect with her once heartbroken mother.

A team of shrinks were helping Dugard and her daughters, Starlet and Angel, make the painful transition from virtual slaves living in Garrido's backyard to a normal life.

Dugard and the girls, who are 15 and 11, had been kept out of the public eye since they were rescued from their hovel in Antioch, Calif., last week.

Garrido, a 58-year-old convicted sex offender and religious fanatic, and his second wife, Nancy, 54, face 29 felony counts. He is also a suspect in a series of unsolved 1990's murders in nearby Pittsburg, Calif., including a school girl and eight prostitutes.

Dugard Case Leaves Former Business Clients Baffled
Posted: 2:06 pm PDT August 31, 2009
Updated: 2:08 pm PDT August 31, 2009

ANTIOCH -- Contra Costa County merchants struggled Monday to digest news that Phillip Garrido, the man who has printed their business cards for years, was a rapist and kidnapper who is suspected of abducting and sexually assaulting Jaycee Dugard.

Garrido, 58, and his wife Nancy Garrido, 55, were arrested last week and have been charged with 29 felonies for the alleged kidnapping, rape and false imprisonment of Dugard, who was snatched from near her South Lake Tahoe home at age 11 in June 1991.

Authorities said last week that Dugard had been living in the Garridos' backyard for the past 18 years, raising two children fathered by Phillip Garrido, who has prior convictions for kidnapping and rape.

Phillip Garrido ran a printing business out of his home at 1554 Walnut Ave. in unincorporated Antioch, and created business cards and other materials for numerous merchants in Contra Costa County, including in Pittsburg, Antioch and Oakley.

Several business owners have described Garrido as odd but said there was nothing to indicate he may also have been dangerous.

"We didn't really see anything that would have raised a red flag," said Ben Daughdrill, former owner of A&D Hauling in Oakley, who used Garrido's printing services for six years.

Daughdrill said Garrido was assisted by "Allissa," a woman he introduced as his daughter, who regularly corresponded with A&D employees by phone and email to arrange orders.

Investigators said last week that "Allissa" is actually Jaycee Dugard.

Daughdrill met "Allissa" twice, both times when he went to the home on Walnut Avenue to pick up an order. He described her as "very polite, well-spoken, good manner - not unusual at all."

"The only thing is, it looked like her clothes didn't fit her very well, like they were secondhand," he said.

He said that seemed to fit with Garrido's occasional comments that the family was short on money.

News of Garrido's arrest has left Daughdrill reeling, particularly because Garrido had visited his home several times and crossed paths with his children.

Wayne Thompson, owner of Wayne's Barbershop on Railroad Avenue in Pittsburg, cut Garrido's hair.

Sometimes, he said, Garrido's daughters, now 11 and 15 years old, would come and wait for their dad during the haircuts.

"They just sat in there and read magazines," he said.

Once, around 2000, Garrido brought "Allissa" with him, Thompson said.

Garrido did Thompson's printing for years until one day Thompson was leafing through a binder full of sex offender notices at his daughter's karate school and came across Garrido's photo.

"At that point I stopped doing the business card business with him," Thompson said.

Tim Allen, president of East County Glass and Window in Pittsburg, said he has worked with Garrido since 1995.

"He just walked in one day with some examples of his work and a brochure," Allen said.

Allen said he always thought Garrido was "kind of a goofball" but said he had grown progressively stranger in the past several years, to the point where Allen had spoken with employees about the need to "phase him out."

One day, Allen said, Garrido showed up at the store with a box and a set of headphones.

"You were supposed to be able to hear him think by listening to the box," Allen said. "He put the headphones on me and everything."

Garrido brought his daughters in sometimes, Allen said.

"They were strikingly beautiful, these girls," he said. "That's one thing that sticks out in my mind, they had blond hair and blue eyes."

He said Garrido seemed proud of his daughters, who Allen said were clean and neat, and wore what looked like handmade clothes.

The girls were shy and would only speak when spoken to, he said. "They stayed close to their father. But they weren't afraid either. There wasn't anything to lead me to believe there was a problem."

Allen said Garrido was always talking about the church he was starting and leaving religious pamphlets behind, which Allen said he would throw out.

Brentwood real estate agent Carla Kirkland did business with Garrido while working for Delta Bay Mortgage Center in Antioch, and also mentioned that he would pass out religious literature.

She said one time Garrido brought a girl with him to the office.

"He told us she was his daughter and she was learning the business," Kirkland said. The girl shadowed him as he moved around the room, she said.

Kirkland stopped by Walnut Avenue today, where investigators are searching the Garridos' property and a home next door, in part for evidence that would link Phillip Garrido to a series of unsolved murders of prostitutes in Pittsburg and Bay Point in the 1990s. Standing outside the Garridos' home, Kirkland began to tear up.

"It's kind of hard to know that they went through that," she said of Dugard and her daughters. "Only because I felt I could have paid closer attention when the little girl was at the office."

"It's just very alarming that we missed it," she said. "We came into very close contact and we missed it."

I saw an interview with the stepfather the other day.  He saw the kidnapping and a composite drawing was made.  I was struck by the resemblance to Nancy Garrido.  I think it was hln or cnn... has anyone else seen it?
It appears that the police may have been fixated on stepfather as suspect.  I wonder if they did a parallel investigation.  If not shame on them!!!  Guess there is no point crying about spilled milk.
