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

[no rose colored glasses]

I don't know about anyone else, but I find it very odd tht Molino's wife is going on the news about the searches at their business and homes.  I think if that happened to me, guilty or not, I 'd keep my mouth shut and stay as far a way as possible from the press.

Mrs Molino  requesting a person who had been abused to clear her name..should not even be needed.  If she as nothing to hide, no child porn, no info or pics on her computer or in her home as she says, then she has no need of Jaycee's help.  Nothing to hide means nothing to indict her and her husband on. 

I don't like Mrs Molino anymore then I like PG's wife Nancy.  She keeps me in mind of someone who knows more then they are willing to share.  And saying she saw the backyard at the house..you would think if she saw it she would have suggested to PG to junk the stuff at her junk yard.  Nope something just isn't right with Mrs Molino.

             

I was reading what she was saying and I totally feel like you do. Something not quite right with this Mrs Molino

I agree with you both!  Am hoping that LE is looking long and sideways at Molino, just by her words and actions. 

My hope for Jaycee is that she declines any and all interviews, and that the public will respect her need for seclusion with her family.  What could she personally say in answer to any question, that would not violate her privacy and dignity? 

IMO, the public, Oprah included, needs to let her gather what little dignity she has left, allow her to retreat, so some measure of healing can come to her and family.  Anything short of that is, IMO, a huge disgrace. 

No media outlet needs to have ratings so bad that it comes at the cost of Jaycee's physical and mental health.  It's likely going to take a long time for healing even to begin for her and family.  Leave her be, I say!! 

And if/when Jaycee herself wants to and is ready to share her own story, (as a process in her later healing), without a bunch of questions being thrown at her, let her contact whomever she wishes in helping to get that story out.  Until/unless that happens, then it's really none of anyone else's business.  IMO. 

The public knows what we needed to know about Jaycee, that she has been found and returned to her family.  The public now needs to turn its attention to the perp/s, and justice brought for what has been done. 

Again, all IMO. 

<loading my shotguns for bear... ready to take aim at Oprah or any other media outlet who DARE to continue what I see as harrassment of Jaycee and family>

The fact that Mrs. Molino thinks Jaycee is even going to see her plee is laughable.  They have already said that Jaycee and her girls are not even watching the coverage.  The psychiatrists probably feel it will be too damaging for them psychologically to see all this crap anyways.  I think that the police were tipped off to Mrs. Molino and her husband since she keeps taking up for the Garrido.  She is the only person who has, out of everyone (even his own father!).  I am sure this made the police look more closely at them.  Since one of the bodies was found on the property of Mrs. Molino's junkyard and the rest were found in a reasonably close distance, it may be that the police are now looking at them for the murders and are looking for anything that could show that they had something to do with them.   Either that or they may feel that the Molino's had a bigger role in Jaycees being captive.  Either way........Bad Boys Bad Boys, What you gonna do?  What you gonna do when they come for you? 

Apparently go cry for Jaycee Dugard to save you!

[cookie]

I was shocked when I saw Molino on HLN and she was saying that Jaycee was not kept captive in the backyard and she slept in the house and blah blah blah....Well, heck, Jaycee was still a kidnap victim even if she was kept in a mansion! she was still taken and kept against her will from the time that she was 11 yrs old! This Molino woman needs to fade into her shell and never come back out again imo..! she sounds ignorant whenever she opens her mouth ...grrrrrr

I agree.  Jaycee was brainwash and even if she had the opportunity to flee it never entered her mind.

We don't know the extent of Jaycee's freedom.  Was she allowed out with her girls. The girls were allow out but only when Girardo was with them.  This woman is a fool and needs to shut up.  If she is not shutting up there is a reason and I am beginning to think she is involved in something.

Who is their right mind defends a monster like this?

Jaycee Blog

by Ross Coulthart 12th September 2009

Standing in the hot, dusty and depressing street outside Philip Garrido’s house in Antioch near San Francisco, I come near to finally figuring it out.

The story of Jaycee Dugard, the eleven year-old girl Garrido kidnapped, then raped, and held for 18 years, is a modern day Grimm’s Fairy Tale…come horribly true.

But what I’ve been wrestling with the last few days is just how something this could have happened. How the heck did this monster get away with it for so long?

Say what you like about Americans, but one thing they’re not reticent about is inquiring about your business. It seems like every time I meet anyone in this country, there’s a friendly inquiry about why I’m here and what’s my business in this part of the world.

And they’re such nice folk; I invariably tell them and end up showing them my children’s photographs. I also invariably end up knowing their medical history and the names of their grand-children.

So why is it, I’m thinking as I stand in Garrido’s street, that he eluded detection for nearly two decades?

Surely his neighbours and the numerous folk who met Jaycee and her children over the last few years suspected something was amiss?

Think about it.

He kidnapped Jaycee Dugard in a car that sat waiting to be found in his back-yard for the whole 18 years, as he – a convicted sex offender on strict parole – came under supposedly intense and regular supervision by local Police and parole officers.

The vehicle matches the description given by Jaycee’s step-dad Carl Probyn that day in June 1991 when Jaycee was snatched by Garrido and his wife Nancy. The identikit drawing of the woman he saw is a dead ringer for Nancy.

Then, within a few years of Jaycee’s kidnap, she bore Garrido a baby daughter (in the back-yard) and then another child four years later.

It seems she and her kids never went to a hospital in the last 18 years, or a dentist, or a doctor – or, if she did, no-one ever noticed she was identical to the little 11-year-old girl constantly featured on ‘Geraldo’, ‘America’s Most Wanted’ plus a host of other TV shows.

Surely I ask myself… didn’t any of the neighbours hear the childbirth and later babies crying? Why didn’t someone ask why the children were not going to school? When neighbours tagged Garrido as ‘Weird Phil’, didn’t it occur to them that it was bizarre and wrong that he had a woman and two children living in squalor in his backyard?

Carl Probyn, the only father Jaycee ever knew is standing beside me asking the same question.

We brought him 270 km down from Lake Tahoe where 18 years ago he watched helplessly as Jaycee was snatched a few hundred metres up the hill from the family home.

Carl is a rugged, amiable “call-it-as-he-sees-it” bloke. You quickly find out what he thinks about things. He is un-PC and makes decent money out of hanging wallpaper for the rich and famous. He loves Aussies because during his US Air force service in the Vietnam War he came to Sydney on R & R.

The last few days he’s been sitting in our giant rental Chevrolet Suburban, travelling with us for hours, following our investigations, sharing a meal and a drink or two with us at the end of every day, trying to come to terms with the fact that the little girl he loved so dearly – and had recently finally stopped believing she’d ever be found – is alive.

But she’s the mother of two children fathered by her kidnapper.

Carl admits it’s been therapeutic to hang around with us. He initially only agreed to do an interview but then sticks with us.

I suspect it helps him cope to watch as we deal with the same question he’s asking.

Part of being part of a film crew on the road is that, at the end of each filming sequence when we get back in the truck, everyone gives their two-bob’s worth about the story.

None of us can comprehend how Garrido got away with it. For Carl, listening on, it’s the question he too most wants answered. You can almost feel the ache he has in his heart – the need to hear something definitive.

Worse for him is the fact that, until Jaycee was found last month, he was under a cloud of suspicion from many in his own family, the police and media.

All because he was the last person to see Jaycee alive.

It destroyed his marriage and lost him many business clients.

Carl loves Jaycee as much as he loves his other daughter Shayna, who is now being protected by the FBI with Jaycee and her mother Terri – trying to come to terms with the fact that she now has a sister again… and two nieces.

Carl’s bursting to meet the people who lived around Garrido’s home to ask what they were thinking when they saw his daughter with her captor.

One very sweet elderly lady agrees to explain it to him, away from the prying eyes of the rest of the media pack lurking down the street. “Why should we have been suspicious?,” she tells us.

“Didn’t you know Carl was a convicted criminal – a violent rapist?” I ask. “Surely you saw the tracking device on his leg?”

It turns out she and many other neighbours knew Carl was a criminal but in this neighbourhood that’s not exactly unusual.

It wasn’t enough to make most folk pick up the phone to tip the police off about a gut-feeling or a suspicion – and even when one neighbour did do that, the dopey officer who showed up didn’t question or even ask to meet Jaycee… or search the backyard where she was living.

How, I think, is that officer dealing now with his decision not to do his job properly? It’s hard not to feel a smidgen of sympathy.

But there will be a time when these cold hard questions must be answered.

Part of the answers came as I stood beside the link security fence which now surrounds Garrido’s house to stop rubber-necking crime-scene tourists now tracking past in a regular line of cars from stomping around the backyard.

Garrido was hiding in plain view.

Like a clever con-man, he made his monstrous criminal deviance normal by acting like he had nothing to hide. When the police and parole officers came knocking on his door he was courteous and answered all their questions politely.

But what I finally accepted was that that’s only part of the answer.

The real explanation came a day later when I interviewed a top Californian forensic psychologist Dr Karen Franklin. She mounted an extraordinary argument in her analysis of the Garrido case.

One year before Jaycee Dugard was taken, a law was enacted in Washington State, and then enacted in most states across America.

It required law enforcement agencies to make information available to the public regarding convicted sex offenders, including their name, crime…and address.

It’s now known as “Megan’s Law” after a little 7-year-old girl called Megan Kanka who was raped and murdered by a repeat multiple sex offender in New Jersey, who lived across the street with two other sex offenders.

Megan’s murder led to furious public outrage and led to the law allowing members of a community in which a sex offender resided to find out where these people lived.

Having covered similar cases in Australia, I have long believed that a reform like Megan’s law is a great idea…a way of providing the police and parole agencies with a bulwark of an attentive community – alert for any suspicious behaviour by recidivist paedophiles.

That’s certainly the hope of Megan’s parents, Richard and Maureen, and I had to admit I have long believed it’s outrageous that the location of violent recidivist sex offenders in Australia is protected by privacy laws.

But Dr Franklin mounted an extremely important argument.

She is not saying dangerous recidivist sex offenders should not be monitored. Far from it. She agrees they are indeed dangerous and should be subject to intense unpredictable and invasive checks by police and other agencies.

Her concern is the laws that define sex offenders in America often jam relatively minor offenders into the same basket as serial paedophiles.

For example, in California, where Jaycee and her family lived, there are 90,000 convicted sex offenders who have to be monitored by overstretched law enforcement agencies – and many of them are relatively low level matters.

Many of these are cases where an adult teenage male has had consensual sexual intercourse with a young woman who is not yet 18. In California, if an 18-year-old boy has sex with a 17-year-old girl he is classified as a sex offender and is subject to the same kind of scrutiny and regular monitoring as was Philip Garrido.

So Garrido was given no less scrutiny - but no more- than every other offender when, in fact, as the cop who interrogated him 1976 told us:

“If I’d have been a parole officer I would have taken the stuffing out of his Thanksgiving Turkey...”

Dr Franklin believes the politicians and lobby groups who ranted and raged for even tougher laws and sentences for all sex offenders never thought through the full implications of their campaigns - that it could divert scarce public resources from effectively monitoring monsters… like Philip Garrido.

It would be easy to dismiss people who lived around Garrido’s home as neer-do-wells who represent a break-down of community and individual responsibility.

The truth is most of the people we spoke to were equally appalled by what happened here as we and Carl are.

Knocking on doors in Garrido’s street with Carl Probyn, it becomes clear many folk here knew Garrido was a sex offender.

But the very public nature of his status meant that all too often people thought someone else was monitoring him.

Philip Garrido was a grub. But the people who knew or lived around him assumed the State knew all about it and was watching him.

They were wrong.

Here’s one of the horrors of this Grimm’s Tale. The very laws enacted to protect innocents like Jaycee from creatures like Garrido gave the community a false sense of security.

It seems it may have actually made Garrido’s evil plans possible.

Thanks Tibro!  Wish more journalists in America could write this well.  This is the kind of reporting I like to read, giving us the big picture in straight talk, without seemingly trying to slip things in on us unawares. 

I noticed a couple of oopsy mistakes by Mr. Coulthart tho, in two places using the name of Carl (Jaycee's step-dad) instead of Philip, the accused.      

Still and all, interesting impressions!  And yes, a MUCH fuller report than we typically get here in America.  I appreciate that! 

Thanks again..

Tibro....thank you for the article.  It is certainly well written, and I believe it is the first time a reporter has gotten this much time with Carl Probyn.

Dugard abductor Phillip Garrido 'wanted cute blonde girl'
Phillip Garrido selected the pretty blonde girl with the gap-toothed grin as his prey during a "child shopping" trip because she looked "cute" , his wife Nancy has told investigators in California.
 
By Philip Sherwell in Antioch
Published: 8:26PM BST 12 Sep 2009

 Jaycee Lee Dugard and her captor Phillip Garrido
But the couple decided not to try and snatch 11-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard that day in June 1991 because she was walking through South Lake Tahoe with a bunch of school friends.

Instead, they apparently trailed her to her home before returning the next morning to complete their horrific mission. Mrs Garrido allegedly jumped out of their car and grabbed her as she walked to nearby a bus-stop, while her husband remained behind the wheel.

 
Philip Garrido raped girl in 1972 She has described the chilling precision that went into the abduction as prosecutors put together the case for multiple charge of kidnapping and rape against the husband and wife. "That's the one I want," Garrido told her when he saw Jaycee in the resort town. "She's cute, but she's with the other kids. Let's come back later and get her."

Michael Cardoza, a Californian attorney and former prosecutor, relayed his coldly calculating words to The Sunday Telegraph after being briefed on Mrs Garrido's testimony by law enforcement contacts. Another source close to the investigation has confirmed that was her account.

"This was nothing less than a child shopping trip," said Mr Cardoza. "It just makes their actions all the more horrendous and reprehensible."

The disturbing revelation will further fuel the anguished debate in California about the state's child protection laws, which effectively encourages scores of former sex offenders to congregate in neighbourhoods - like the outskirts of Antioch - where there is little local government and not much sense of community.

It will also add to the frustration across America that so many people who interacted with the Garridos - including police, public officials and close neighbours - failed to grasp what was going on.

Mrs Garrido's version of how Jaycee was snatched throws an even more sickening light on the advice her husband dispensed a decade later to a child safety campaigner for whom he was printing a kidnap prevention fact sheet. "Phillip offered a couple of suggestions if we were updating the leaflet," Janice Gomes told The Sunday Telegraph.

"He said: 'Children should never walk to a bus-stop by themselves. They are no match for an adult so there should always be an adult with them,'" she recalled.

Garrido also dismissed the theory of "safety in numbers" for a group of unaccompanied children, telling her that a determined attacker could always pick off one of the bunch as the others fled.

"It just seemed like sensible advice that children should always be in the company of an adult, even if you think they are safe," said Mrs Gomes, who set up the National Community Empowerment Programme after one of her young daughters was molested three decades ago.

Yet despite his weird personality, a tendency to burst into song and outlandish religious beliefs, it never struck her that the man known as "creepy Phil" by youngsters in the area might have been speaking with such horrifying personal knowledge about the dangers faced by lone children at bus-stops.

And Garrido, now 58, was printing the flyers from the business he ran in the same backyard lair that was home to Jaycee - and by then the two daughters he allegedly fathered after repeated rapes - in Antioch, 45 miles east of San Francisco.

Nor was Mrs Gomes the only one of Garrido's customers to whom he made what are now haunting observations about caring for children's welfare Maria Christenson, who runs a recycling business in nearby Pittsburg, recalled her printer visiting her office at a time when she was bringing her young child with her to work. "You're doing the right thing, Maria," she recalled him telling her. "You should always watch your kids. You can't trust others to look after them."

And another former client has now uncovered unnerving evidence of Garrido's attraction to young girls - in his own music.

In 2006, Marc Lister, who runs a glass shops, was given a CD by Garrido of his songs but put the music away unplayed until last week. Now that he has listened to the collection of suggestive rock songs and trippy synthetic ballads, there are clues aplenty to Garrido's warped sexual tastes.

"The way she walks, yeah, subtly sexy/What can I do? I fall victim too/A little child, yeah, look what you do," goes one lyric that apparently blames a little girl for making him fall victim to her sexual allure.

Another lyric with a troubling message runs: "Mother in your eyes, deepness in your pride/played well when I first met 'ya/Saved from the days, I kept saving you, but in the darkness you remain/Everybody pays in the human race/Being abused and used as devices."

Mr Lister told yesterday's Contra Costa Times: "I think there's some sort of a message here. I think it's disturbing. I'm surprised he wrote lyrics about some of the things in here, whether for the girls or his own mental outlet. It's a little bit twisted. It's not right."

In another song on the CD, entitled Voices are Real - probably recorded in the sound-proofed room that has been discovered in his sprawling backyard - he declares: "For every little girl in the world/They want to be in love, yeah/You're just the same, go play a game/Just tell me that you want me."

And: "I will tell you about the only one/She's a dream, dream come true/With a note saying you're my baby blue."

Garrido, they all now realise with the benefit of chilling hindsight, knew exactly what he was talking and singing about. He and his wife allegedly kidnapped Jaycee in 1991, just three years after he was released from parole for a violent drug-fuelled 1976 kidnap and rape of a casino croupier.

And it has since emerged that Jaycee was not his only alleged child rape victim. In 1972, aged 21, he was charged with drugging and raping a 14-year-old girl at an Antioch motel, but the case was dropped when she chose not to testify in court. There is "a good chance" there are other victims, said Lt Leonard Orman of Antioch police.

Garrido's first wife has also come forward to describe how he attacked her, threatened to gouge her eyes out and had a violent and voracious sexual appetite. And Californian police are investigating whether he was involved in the abduction of two other girls, one of whom looked strikingly similar to Jaycee, who went missing after his release.

While Garrido's own words and acts are now helping paint a fuller picture of his life, his wife's past - and motives - remain much more of a mystery.

What is known about her points to an existence of extreme contradictions. For Mrs Garrido worked as a respected nursing aide caring for the disabled and the old at the same time as she helped her husband keep Jaycee and her two daughters captive in their backyard.

Indeed, investigators believe that her nursing expertise allowed her to play the role of midwife when those children, now aged 11 and 15, were born during the 1990s.

Her impressive collection of nursing references dated back to 1981 - the same year that she married Garrido in a prison ceremony, well aware that her new husband was serving a then 50-year sentence for rape and kidnapping.

She was born Nancy Bocanegra in Bexar County, Texas, in 1955, the oldest of several children in a Mexican-American family that moved to Denver, Colorado, in 1972. Some time after Garrido's 1977 incarceration at Leavenworth federal penitentiary in Kansas, she met him while she was visiting an uncle who was a fellow inmate.

She was reportedly an impressionable Jehovah's Witness who fell for the handsome young prisoner - who was already claiming that he had found God and put the drug-fuelled sex and violence of his youth behind him.

They married when she was 26 and he was 30.

Mrs Garrido moved from Denver to Leavenworth in the mid-1980s to be nearer her husband, renting cheap one-bedroom apartments in converted townhouses. And she was already supporting herself by working as a nurse, judging from the CV she later presented. After Garrido's release, the couple moved in with his mother and step-father on Walnut Avenue, in a scruffy working-class neighbourhood of Antioch.

For the next 10 years, Mrs Garrido worked with disabled patients as a nursing and physical therapy aide in the area - even as Jaycee and later her girls were forced to live in a squalid network of tents and shacks in a compound hidden from neighbours by trees and high fences.

For 38 days in 1993, she was Jaycee's sole jailer after Garrido was locked up for breaking his parole by smoking marijuana. Yet even then, she made no effort to alert the authorities - seen as crucial evidence by the prosecution that while she may have had a domineering husband, she was actively complicit in the whole operation.

This double life has amazed her former colleagues at the ARC nursing agency which took her on in 1994 after she passed a state background check. "The people who received services through her, they liked her very much. She was a good employee and she was well-liked by the people she worked with," Barbara Maizie, the agency's executive director, told a local newspaper. "They cannot believe that this is possible. They're totally shocked."

Her family in Denver - her divorced parents and at least four brothers still live there - were just as stunned when her role emerged 10 days ago. In the first comments by a relative, her brother David blamed Garrido for his sister's plight as he recalled a young woman who would go fishing and canoeing.

"I've got nothing bad to say about my sister," he said. "He [Garrido] turned her into that. She was normal until she hooked up with that guy."

The 46-year-old looked bleary-eyed and exhausted when he opened his front door in a Denver suburb. "My mother looks even worse," he said.

His sister left the ARC agency in 1998 to look after her elderly bed-ridden mother-in-law - a role she carried out with diligence and care, according to next-door neighbour Helen Boyer. "Nancy was great with Pat [Garrido's mother]," she said. "She devoted herself to that woman."

She was always unassuming but also became increasingly reclusive. "The wife was like a hermit," said Damon Robinson, another neighbour. "She looked like she had no spirit."

Prosecutors believe she was a full partner in the kidnapping and rapes and will demand multiple life sentences against both Garridos, who pleaded not guilty in their first court hearing.

Gilbert Maines, her court-appointed attorney, appears to be preparing to argue that she was brainwashed, in thrall to her husband's personality and religious beliefs, as some acquaintances and family members have claimed.

But legal experts emphasise that even if he did hold a domineering sway over her - and he of course claimed to be able control minds and hear angels through a special black box- that would be little defence in court.

Mr Maines added that his client came to view Jaycee and the girls as "family". He said: "She loved the girls very much and she loved Jaycee very much."

Miss Dugard, 29, who has spent more than a week at a secret location with her daughters, the mother she last saw 18 years ago and other relatives, has also reportedly told them she formed a "bond" with the couple who stole her away.

She worked in Garrido's printing business, oversaw graphic designs and met clients. Indeed, The Sunday Telegraph was shown a card advertising the business that featured her in a glamorous pose, head resting on her hands, blonde hair falling across her made-up face.

She looks just like a happy young woman, even an aspiring model. That she could have appeared so contented is another mystifying twist to a near-inexplicable story.

I have to say I'm very disappointed in this decision, but I guess I knew it would happen. I just wonder if Jaycee will really be ready to tell her story so soon without repercussions for her and her children.

I hope that they at least surround her in a shroud of darkness to give her some privacy where her face is concerned.

Jaycee Lee Dugard to tell story of life with paedophile Phillip Garrido on Oprah Winfrey

The girl snatched and held for 18 years by paedophile Phillip Garrido is to tell her incredible story on Oprah Winfrey's TV chat show.

Jaycee Lee Dugard was grabbed from a bus stop when she was 11 by Garrido and his wife Nancy.

She lived in the backyard of Garrido's house in California, was raped and had two daughters by him.

I think Oprah will have done her homework with this interview.  She is probably enraged at what happened.  I'm sure she will also have people in the medical field available.  She will not harm Jaycee and will show much compassion for her.

What I am wondering is if her mom will be at her side for support.

Mrs Molino  was on Geraldo last night and went head to head with one of the lawyers he had on.  She is a piece of work.  I am looking for the youtube.

Phillip Garrido's bail set at $30 million, will undergo psychiatric testing

El Dorado County Superior Court Judge Douglas Phimister approved $30 million bail today for Phillip Garrido and also agreed to have him undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

The judge kept the bail amount for Garrido's wife, Nancy, the same, but there was some question as to how much her original bail was. Susan Gellman, Phillip Garrido's attorney, requested the evaluation, and Nancy Garrido's attorney, Gilbert Maines, asked that the option be available to his client in the future. Phimister approved that request. The couple will next appear in court Oct. 29 for a preliminary hearing. The Garridos were arrested Aug. 26, the day after a sharp-eyed campus police officer at UC Berkeley stopped Phillip, 58, who was on campus distributing religious materials with two young girls.

Nancy Garrido, Accused Kidnapper, is "Very Lonely" and Afraid for Her Life

NEW YORK (CBS) Nancy Garrido, who is accused of kidnapping and holding Jaycee Lee Dugard captive for 18 years, is getting a harsh jailhouse welcome.

Other inmates are threatening to rape and kill the 54-year-old Garrido, sources tell CBS News, and she is being kept in isolation for her own protection.

They also report that Garrido, who once had a full compound, including her convicted rapist husband Phillip Garrido, their alleged kidnap victim Dugard and her two daughters, is feeling "very lonely," and now spends most of her time reading the bible.
