Girl missing since 1991 found alive; two arrested

CNN) -- A girl abducted in 1991 as an 11-year-old has been found alive in California, the El Dorado County sheriff's office said Thursday.

Jaycee Dugard is in good health, the office said in a statement, but provided no details.

Jimmy Lee, a spokesman for the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department, confirmed that a man and a woman have been arrested in connection with the case but could provide no other details. CNN affiliates have reported that Phillip Garrido, 58, and his wife, Nancy Garrido, have been charged.

Phillip Garrido is a registered sex offender and listed on the Department of Justice's Megan's Law page because of a previous forcible rape charge.

An officer at the Contra Costa County Jail in Marinez, California, told CNN that the two had been at the jail and both were ordered held on $1 million bail. The officer said the pair was no longer in the jail but that Phillip Garrido had been booked on charges of kidnapping, rape, lewd behavior, sexual penetration and conspiracy. Nancy Garrido was booked on charges of kidnapping and conspiracy.
Earlier Thursday, Carl Probyn, Dugard's stepfather, told CNN that an FBI agent had called his wife, Terry, on Wednesday afternoon to tell her that Dugard had been found.

The girl was last seen walking to her bus stop in South Lake Tahoe, California, on June 10, 1991, according to the FBI.

At the time, "it was reported that a vehicle occupied by two individuals drove up to Jaycee Dugard and abducted her in view of her stepfather," the El Dorado County sheriff's office said Thursday.

Despite extensive investigations, no sign of her or her possible abductors was ever found, authorities said.

Probyn said Dugard walked into a police station in Northern California earlier Wednesday. He said the FBI agent told his wife that authorities had "Jaycee and the people who she was with."

He said no further details were provided, and that the conversation with the FBI agent was brief.

"It was short and sweet, and 'Can you fly up here?'" he said.

The El Dorado County Sheriff's office has scheduled a news conference for 3 p.m. (6 p.m. ET) to discuss the case.

Probyn said his wife, who is flying Thursday from Southern California to meet with Dugard, spoke to her on Wednesday.

"Jaycee remembers everything," he said. "They talked back and forth and she had the right answers to all my wife's questions."

He said, "I'm feeling great! ... It's like winning the lotto."

Ernie Allen, president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, said the reappearance of Dugard is "absolutely huge."

"One of the things that we preach to searching families all the time ... is that even in these long-term cases there's hope," he said.

"Even in these long-term cases ... it's important that we not let the world forget."

Bologna on brown with lettuce and a glass of milk or juice would go nice with that.

Wow.. I just read that "a neighbor" says more girls have lived there, and one about 11 is currently there.   Not verified, maybe just publicity seeking person, but the police are all over the house and setting up tents.

Currently a discussion of this case is on channel 10.

EL DORADO COUNTY, CA -- The San Francisco Chronicle has released the names of the two people in custody for the kidnapping of Jaycee Lee Dugard.

Law-enforcement sources said Phillip Craig Garrido, 58, of Antioch and his wife, Nancy Garrido, 55, were arrested in connection with the case. Phillip Garrido was being held in lieu of $1 million bail on suspicion of kidnapping, rape by force, lewd and lascivious acts with a minor, sexual penetration and conspiracy.


Nancy Garrido was being held on suspicion of conspiracy and kidnapping. Her bail was also $1 million. Both were initially booked into the Contra Costa County Jail in Martinez, but have since been moved to an undisclosed site.


The couple were arrested after they walked into the police station with Dugard to ask a question, authorities said. They would not say what the question involved, but it apparently aroused the suspicions of a Concord police officer.


The officer ran a criminal history check of Phillip Garrido and found out he was a registered sex offender, authorities said. State records show that he has a conviction for rape by force, and federal records show him serving a stint in federal prison in Leavenworth, Kan., in the 1980s.


It is still unclear how police learned that the woman who was with the Garridos was Dugard.


Jaycee was abducted on June 10, 1991 from South Lake Tahoe. At that time, it was reported that a vehicle with two people inside, drove up to her and grabbed her.


The El Dorado County Sheriff's Department and FBI are planning to hold a news conference Thursday at 3 p.m. to discuss the case of Jaycee Dugard.


RGJ.com will live stream the press conference live as it happens.


Dugard's stepfather Carl Probyn said last night that family members believe authorities found the now 29-year-old girl alive.


"It's an absolute miracle if it is her...can you imagine this after 18 years?," Probyn said in a telephone interview.


The news of Dugard's return came after a Concord police officer confirmed that local agencies were investigating the claims of a woman who allegedly walked into a Contra Costa County law enforcement office Wednesday and said she was kidnapped 18 years ago

Jaycee Lee Dugard's teacher, principal look back on kidnapping


SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — Jaycee Lee Dugard was abducted June 10, 1991, and the event shook the South Shore community.

“It was the worst day of my 27 years (in the education profession) the morning Jaycee Lee was kidnapped,” said Karen Gillis-Tinlin, who was principal at Meyers Elementary School at the time.

Dugard was a fifth-grader at the school.

Now on Thursday morning, Dugard's reappearance has now become one of the most exciting times in Gillis-Tinlin's career.

“I'm still in shock,” Dugard's fifth-grade teacher Sue Bush said. “I'm so glad she's OK and happy.”

Bush, whose last name was Louis at the time, said Dugard was well-liked in her class.

“She was just a sweetie,” Bush said. “It scared the kids, and it scared them badly.”

All the students and staff members wore pink ribbons the week Dugard was kidnapped. They tied more to the fence by the kindergarten room, and put them up around the school. Pink was her favorite color, Bush said.

“We tied a pink ribbon to her chair, and kept her desk the way she left it,” Bush said.

Bush's class wrote letters to Dugard, made posters and wanted to talk about what happened.

“The kids needed to talk about it,” Bush said. “What an incredibly scary thing to have happen in a small town.”

This morning Gillis-Tinlin spoke with her son, Dan Tinlin, who was 4 years old when Dugard dissapeared. He told her that he and a friend had come up with a plan to find Dugard when she went missing.

“It affected all the children,” Gillis-Tinlin said. “There was an underlying fear because it could happen to anyone.”

A little garden was planted by the multipurpose room at the elementary school, Gillis-Tinlin said. A plaque was placed there in honor of Dugard.

Gillis-Tinlin didn't know if the garden was still there.

As the years went by, Gillis-Tinlin said thoughts of Dugard didn't leave the community. Whether it was a small lead, or the forming of the Fighting Chance Program, Dugard was still in conversations.

“She was always there with us,” Gillis-Tinlin said.

Bush never fully believed Dugard was dead. She thought Dugard might be living in a remote area, and would be found again.

Even after the trail had gone cold, law enforcement did not give up on the case, Bush said.

Gillis-Tinlin said she would be contacted periodically by new officers taking on Dugard's file.

“It never got dropped,” Gillis-Tinlin said. “It wasn't always at the forefront, but it was an ongoing case.”

California Child Abduction Case Gives Hopes to Others
Wednesday, a young woman who said she was Jaycee Lee Dugard walked into a police station near Concord, Calif., and said she was the girl who had been kidnapped at a bus stop in 1991 at age 11. Police took two people into custody.

This kind of case must give thousands of families hope that their missing loved ones will turn up one day. What an opportunity to take a look at some of the cases in your area that could benefit from the public's attention.

TruTV breaks down the large number of missing persons cases reported each year:


An astounding 2,300 Americans are reported missing every day, including both adults and children.


But only a tiny fraction of those are stereotypical abductions or kidnappings by a stranger.

For example, the federal government counted 840,279 missing persons cases in 2001. All but about 50,000 were juveniles, classified as anyone younger than 18.

Significant portions of those missing adults are young men, have psychiatric, drug or alcohol problems or are elderly people suffering from dementia, according to TruTV. As for the juveniles:


About half of the roughly 800,000 missing juvenile cases in 2001 involved runaways, and another 200,000 were classified as family abductions related to domestic or custody disputes.

Only about 100 missing-child reports each year fit the profile of a stereotypical abduction by a stranger or vague acquaintance.

Two-thirds of those victims are ages 12 to 17, and among those eight out of 10 are white females, according to a Justice Department study. Nearly 90 percent of the abductors are men, and they sexually assault their victims in half of the cases.

Yes I saw though and got chills.  They have what seems to be an 11 year old girl and my mind immediately went to Amber.  I hope other families will be reunited and pray that anyone near these two can find some peace in the future as it will be a hard road for all.

Wow, thanks for all the links and articles, I am glad I read all of this, at first glance I thought she after all these years came forward for whatever reason, I didn't realize she was still with this horrific couple. So happy for her family  I don't even want to think of how many other girls have been kidnapped from this couple.

ANTIOCH - FOX40 News has learned the address of a home being searched by Antioch police in connection with a 1991 kidnapping case solved Tuesday morning matches that of a registered sex offender.

Two suspects have been taken into custody after a woman claiming to be Jaycee Lee Dugard walked into a Concord police station 18 years after she was allegedly abducted from her South Lake Tahoe home. While authorities are certain the woman is Dugard, DNA tests are being conducted with results available as soon as noon Friday.

The address of the home being searched by authorities matches that of Phillip Garrido, a registered sex offender. CNN is reporting Phillip and Nancy Garrido have been arrested and named suspects in the kidnapping case; FOX40 News has not been able to confirm the names of the suspects.

Neighbors told FOX40's Darsha Phillips that while Garrido was frequently seen at the home, they didn't see any sign of a young girl in the time he's lived there.

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.

Interactive: See where kidnappings most often occur


Published: Thursday, Aug. 27, 2009 - 12:14 pm
Last Modified: Thursday, Aug. 27, 2009 - 12:36 pm

Children are rarely abducted by strangers, but it happens a lot more often in some places than in others. During the last 10 years, Sacramento County parents, for instance, reported 39 kidnappings by strangers, or about 12 abductions per 100,000 children, according to the California Department of Justice. By contrast, San Diego parents reported 23 kidnappings in that time period, or three abductions per 100,000 children. (Kidnappings in El Dorado County have been rare since Jaycee Dugard's abduction in 1991.) This map shows the rate of kidnappings reported, by county, between 1999 and 2008.
