Jaycee Lee Dugard was held by Phillip Garrido
Jaycee Lee Dugard was a sex slave and bore her abductor’s children during the time she was held captive from 1991 until Wednesday.
Sex offender Phillip Garrido, 58, and his wife Nancy, 54, held Jaycee, now 29, captive in their backyard, possibly a shed, and used her as their sex slave for years. She was taken from a bus stop when she was 11-years-old.
Jaycee had two children by Phillip. Two girls who are now 11 and 15. Neither of which have ever been seen in public, nor have they ever been to a doctor or a school.
Neighbors say they had no idea that Jaycee, who went by Alissa, lived at the Garrido’s home. A hidden backyard was found within the residence backyard, where Dugard and her children are suspected to have lived in a group of sheds hidden from outside view. A vehicle matching a description to a vehicle at the crime scene was found on the property.
Thanks to a diligent parole officer this case has been solved, 18-years later. Garrido was on parole from kidnapping and rape charges in 1971.
From Chicago Tribune:
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.
Dugard has since been reunited with her mother, which I can imagine was quite emotional. What a crazy, sad story. The poor parents, oh my gosh, and of course all the children involved. What an absolute nightmare. Let’s hope the Garrido’s suffer for what they have done. They should just throw them in the street and let the public stone them to death. I tell you what, if we did that in this country there would be a lot fewer sex offenders sneaking around in the shadows.
Oh god the torture she went thru at the hands of these monsters. Some people are pure evil and should be tortured for what they have done. This just breaks my heart.
Not one neighbor had an idea anything was wrong, didn’t crying infants in a backyard seem odd to any of the yahoos out there? Or sheds and tents all over the back yard tip them off in 20 years?
I have a theory since the youngest daughter was 11, the same age as Jaycee was when she abducted, I think he was starting to have sex with her and Jaycee finally snapped and took a chance getting help – it must have seemed like a different world to her once she left the yard to get help.
He’s religious nut trying to start a cult, on his blog he claims that he was cured of being a pedophile, note to self child rapists need to be put to death the first time they commit a crime, they cannot be rehabilitated, and they don’t want to stop.
I am hoping Jaycee, with treatment will be alright, but it’s a toss up – what she and her daughters have been through and how they will cope with a new world an their lifetime of abuse is up in the air. I hope very well, she and her children deserve to be happy.
much like the father who kept his daughter as a sex slave in Germany and bore children with her…. (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritzl_case)
This is by far one of the worst things I have heard, but I bet everyone will forget within a week since she’s not a junkie celeb that died.
