Jaycee Lee Dugard Found: Family Says Abducted 11-Year-Old Located 18 Years Later

Jayce Lee Dugard's Stepfather Says California Authorities Have Woman, Suspected Captors

A California stepfather who heard his little girl scream as she was abducted 18 years ago said she has been found alive and well and her captors are in custody.

A woman claiming to be Jaycee Lee Dugard, now 29, walked into a police station in tiny Antioch, Calif., Wednesday, her stepfather Carl Probyn told ABCNews.com today. Based on conversations his wife has had with police, the FBI and the woman herself, Probyn said the family is convinced Jaycee has been found.

"I had personally given up hope," he said. "I had just hoped for a recovery" and to find the people responsible.

Instead, he said, "I've actually won the lotto."

Authorities are keeping mum until a press conference at 6 p.m. ET, but Probyn said his stepdaughter had been transferred from Antioch to Concord, a smaller city in the area more than a two hour drive from the South Lake Tahoe, Calif. Neighborhood where Jaycee was snatched on June 10 as she tried to catch the bus to school.

"I saw them pull her in and I tried to get her," Probyn said.

The kidnapped terrified the community and led to a massive manhunt.

His wife, Terry Probyn, who now lives in Orange County, left for northern California at 6 a.m. today, joining the couple's 19-year-old daughter who was just a year old when her sister was kidnapped.

"She's in shock," Probyn said of his wife. "I told her and my daughter to sit down there and think of questions to ask her."

Probyn said he doesn't have any details of what had happened to Jaycee for the last 18 years or who abducted her, but he claims that the FBI told his wife that "they have Jaycee and the people she was with."

"She sounds like she's okay," he said. "She had a conversation with my wife and she remembers things. I hope she's been well treated this entire 18 years."

No DNA test has been done to confirm the woman's claims, but Probyn said his wife told him that she remembers her childhood. Plus, he added, the FBI likely wouldn't have upset his wife unnecessarily unless they were pretty sure.

FBI Sacramento Special Agent Steve Dupre told ABCNews.com today that he could not confirm any details about the woman, but that "we've had an open case since it happened in 1991."

The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office, which covers the area where Jaycee was taken, declined to provide further details.

Jaycee's abduction tore at the entire family.

"I've gone through hell," Probyn said, noting that investigators and even members of the extended family looked at him suspiciously for months afterward.

He and his wife, though still legally married, were separated.

Now Probyn just wants to find out who these people are that took his daughter and why.

And of course, to see the now-grown woman he thought was gone for good.

Most children abducted in the same manner as Jaycee do not have such a happy ending.

Though the country rejoiced when Elizabeth Smart was found alive months after the 14-year-old was snatched, many are never heard from again.

CONCORD — A woman who has been missing from her South Lake Tahoe home for 18 years has surfaced in Concord, according to the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office.

A man and woman have been arrested in connection with the case and booked into County Jail in Martinez, said Jimmy Lee, spokesman for the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office. He deferred further comment to the El Dorado County Sheriff's Department, which plans to hold a press conference on the case later today.

El Dorado Sheriff's deputies and FBI agents began serving a search warrant this morning at a home in Antioch that has been linked to the investigation.

Jaycee Dugard, now 29, was abducted in Meyers, in El Dorado County, on June 10, 1991 as her stepfather watched helplessly. The case was cold for nearly 20 years as investigators struggled to make headway into what had happened to the girl. National talk shows like "Geraldo" intermittently brought attention back to the disappearance.

Few details were available about the reappearance of Dugard. A woman claiming to be Dugard walked into the Concord Police Department on Wednesday afternoon. Dugard's stepfather, Carl Probyn, said Dugard's mother, Terry Probyn, spoke with the woman claiming to be her missing daughter and is en route to Northern California from her Riverside County home.

At the link theres a archive of videos of searchs over the past 18 yr looking for her. EL DORADO COUNTY, CA -
The El Dorado County Sheriff's office is confirming that kidnap victim Jaycee Lee Dugard had been located in good health in the Bay Area.

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 missing person case of Jaycee Dugard.

News10 will live stream the presser as it happens on News10.net.

Dugard's stepfather, Carl Probyn, told News10 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 amazing news of Dugard's return came after a Concord police officer confirmed to News10 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.
An FBI agent leaving Concord Police headquarters Wednesday night said the Bureau was involved in the case, but would not comment on any details of the investigation.

"There will be a press conference tomorrow," the unidentified agent told reporters. "We're working it."

Probyn, a contractor who now lives in the southern California community of Orange, said Jaycee's mother Terry received a call at her job with the Riverside School District from the FBI Wednesday afternoon.

Probyn said the agent on the phone identified himself and said, "We've got Jaycee." Terry then had a phone conversation with the woman authorities believed to be her long-lost daughter, a conversation that left Terry "positive" that Jaycee was home, Probyn said.

He said his wife thought Jaycee sounded normal and not like she was mistreated over the last 18 years. Terry said that "(Jaycee) remembered a lot," according to Probyn, who was in "complete shock that (Jaycee) is alive."

Terry Probyn told Carl that the FBI didn't get into where Jaycee was or who she was with for the past 18 years, but said "she was with some people and...they are in custody." Probyn said he had no idea about the identity of those "people."

"I told my wife I want those responsible to be taken down, no deals at all," Probyn said.

Dugard was just 11 years old when she was last seen just 150 yards away from her home as she walked to her bus stop in South Lake Tahoe around 8:05 a.m. on June 10, 1991.

Carl Probyn said from inside his home, he saw a man and a woman in a two-tone gray, late-model sedan make a U-turn on Washeon Boulevard, then saw the woman in the car grab Jaycee and pull her inside.

Investigators at the time believed Dugard may have been taken across state lines into Nevada after her abduction. Despite at least one alleged sighting immediately following her disappearance, Dugard was not seen again -- until Wednesday.

Of the past two decades since Jaycee's disappearance, Probyn said, "It's like having heart surgery and not being sewn up. Your heart just aches."

Carl Probyn said the stress, pain and trauma of Jaycee's abduction destroyed the Probyns' marriage. The pair are separated, but Probyn said they remain friends, living 40 miles apart.

Probyn said Terry and the couple's 19-year-old daughter Shayna were flying to northern California Thursday morning to reunite with Jaycee.

Along Washeon Boulevard Wednesday night, South Lake Tahoe residents who heard about the developments in the case were hopeful these latest events would bring closure to 18 years of unanswered questions.

"I remember my sister was in (Jaycee's) class in the fifth grade when it happened," said resident Sara Esposito. "I'm just blown away."

David Watkins, who bought Jaycee Dugard's family home on Washeon in 1998, said the spectre of Jaycee's disappearance still lingers in the neighborhood.

"You hear about it every year. Someone says something...'What happened to her? What's going on with her?,'" Watkins said. "Maybe it'll put an end to everything finally." http://i26.tinypic.com/op1q13.jpg http://i28.tinypic.com/2ldknkk.jpg http://www.news10.net/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=65885&catid=2

Wow! Jaycee as she is now on the cover of people magazine. She looks amazing for what she has been through. I am so happy that she has been reunited with her mother and so disgusted by what those monsters stole from her and put her through for 18 years.

First photo: Jaycee Dugard as she is now
The kidnap victim looks happy, healthy in People magazine spread

People
Less than two months after the kidnap victim was reunited with her family after 18 years, the California mother of two smiles on the cover of People magazine.

By Mike Celizic
TODAYShow.com contributor
updated 25 minutes ago
The hair is darker, bordering on brown, but Jaycee Dugard’s clear blue eyes still sparkle in a face lit by a brilliant smile. Looking out from the cover of People magazine, the young woman who was kidnapped at the age of 11 appears to be 10 years younger than her 29 years.

“I’m so happy to be back,” reads the headline on the cover of the Oct. 26 issue, which hits newsstands this Friday. The cover photo of Jaycee, the first since she was rescued on Aug. 26, can be viewed now on People.com.

People first wrote about Jaycee in November 1991, five months after she was kidnapped outside her home in South Lake Tahoe, Calif., allegedly by convicted sex offender Phillip Garrido and his wife, Nancy. The Garridos were taken into custody after a campus cop at University of California at Berkeley thought something was suspicious about the man who was seeking a permit to hold a religious meeting on campus.

Dugard was not interviewed by the magazine, although people close to her spoke at length about her rehabilitation and that of her two daughters, Angel, 14, and Starlit, 11. Dugard and her daughters are recovering from her long ordeal with her mother, Terry Probyn, at an undisclosed location in northern California.

The 10-page article is accompanied by many pictures of Dugard and her mother. Dugard’s daughters are shown only from the back.

TODAY’s Matt Lauer asked People’s managing editor, Larry Hackett, if the magazine paid for the photographs, which were taken by a private photographer engaged by the family.

“We have bought photographs in the past,” Hackett said, apparently confirming that the family was paid for the pictures. “I don’t want to go into the details.”

'She looks radiant'
Hackett said that Dugard and her mother decided to allow publication of the photos and to tell their story because of the intense interest.

“They thought, ‘We want to control this situation. Let’s do it now,’ ” Hackett told Lauer.

Hackett remarked on how well Dugard looks in the photos. “She looks radiant, she looks healthy, she looks happy,” he said. But, he added, the story in the magazine shows recovering from years of abuse will not be easy.

“As you read the story, you realize this is a long process, an extraordinary process of her trying to get her life back,” Hackett said. “It’s a long, slow process. Somebody likened it to an adoptive parent meeting their child. There’s 18 years of time to make up. I just don’t think she’s ready to answer a lot of questions involving a lot of things that have happened in her life.”

Erika Schulte, a family spokeswoman for Probyn and Dugard, also spoke with TODAY’s Ann Curry. She said the interview is the family’s way of thanking all the people who have sent messages of support.

“I have seen a family,” Shulte said. “If you didn’t know the circumstances, it would just seem like any other family. [They] are just very close and comfortable and happy.”

Prepared to testify
Both Schulte and Hackett said that Dugard is prepared to testify against Garrido and his wife when they are brought to trial.

A therapist is using horseback riding to help Dugard and her daughters cope with their years of captivity in a makeshift encampment behind Garrido’s home. “Jaycee love animals,” Schulte told People.

“I’m so happy to be back with my family,” Dugard said in a statement to the magazine. “Nothing is more important than the unconditional love and support I have from them.”

Schulte said Dugard provided the photos to People because she wanted to “life the veil and acknowledge that she is doing well. She wants to thank everyone for their support and best wishes and to let people see that this is her.”

'This has been a miracle'
She is staying with her mother, a 50-year-old middle-school secretary, and her daughters. Schulte told People that despite never having gone to school, both Angel and Starlit have been tested and are performing at grade level. That, Schulte said, is a testament to Dugard, who educated her daughters despite not having gone to school beyond the fifth grade herself.

“This has been such a miracle – that Jaycee was able to do all that she’s done under those circumstances just tells us what a strongwoman she is and how extremely intelligent she is,” Probyn’s stepmother, Joan Curry, told the magazine.

Schulte said the mother and daughters spend their time catching up, cooking and reading. “They’re not hiding,” Schulte told People. “They’re enjoying their privacy.”

Curry said that everyone understands that challenges lie ahead. Dugard was raped repeatedly by Garrido and her daughters thought that she was their sister, not their mother. “Jaycee’s realistic,” Curry told People. “She knows this is not going to be the easiest road that she’s ever traveled, but she is just very upbeat, giddy that she’s with her family.”

Dugard has also taken delight in getting to know her half sister, Shayna Probyn, 19, who was just a toddler when Dugard was kidnapped and is now a college student.

Schulte said that Dugard does not want to dwell on the past, choosing instead to look to the future and more forward.

“She is never looking back,” Schulte told People. “They are just taking things one day at a time. She wants to have a home with her girls, and a happy, quiet, normal life.”

California parole officers failed to properly supervise the man accused of holding Jaycee Dugard captive for 18 years and missed numerous opportunities to free her, according to a scathing report released today by the Office of the Inspector General.

"Our review shows that Garrido committed numerous parole violations and that the department failed to properly supervise Garrido and missed numerous opportunities to discover his victims," the report read.

Among the departments shortcomings in the Garrido case:

Failure to adequately classify Garrido - who had a history as a sexually violent predator - and supervise him accordingly.

Failure to obtain key information from federal parole authorities.

Failure to train parole agents to conduct parolee home visits.

Someone please shut this fucktard UP!

(CNN) -- Phillip Garrido, who is accused of kidnapping and raping an 11-year-old and then holding her captive for 18 years, apologized in a jailhouse letter sent to a television station, the California station said Thursday.
In the handwritten letter this week to CNN affiliate KCRA, Garrido seemed to address the kidnapping of Jaycee Dugard.
"First off I want to apologize to every human being for what has taken place," KCRA said the letter states.
The second sentence of the letter appeared to refer to what Garrido has described as a religious transformation that cured him of his sexual deviancy.
It says: "People all over the world are hearing testimony that through the spirit of Christ a mental process took place ending a sexual problem believed to be impossible."
The letter, which is the third sent to the station, also addressed other issues, but the station declined to release more details.
"We are not releasing the entire letter at this time based on consultations with our attorneys," said Anzio Williams, news director at KCRA. "We will tell the story and reference the letter."

Did Phillip Garrido Ply Wife With Meth?
Couple Charged In Kidnapping, Imprisonment Of Jaycee DugardLOS ANGELES (CBS News) ―
The couple accused of kidnapping and raping Jaycee Dugard will be back in court later Friday.

And one topic that may come up is Nancy Garrido's apparent past drug use.

Numerous sources tell CBS News she was heavily into methamphetamines, supplied by her husband, Phillip Garrido, reports "Early Show" National Correspondent Hattie Kauffman.

"If her lawyers could establish that, not only did he have this sort of Svengali-like control over her, but he also increased that mind control over her with this heavy supply of drugs, this heavy supply of drug use, then maybe that cuts in her favor," says CBS News legal analyst Trent Copeland.

The Garridos were arrested in August and charged in the Dugard case. They allegedly snatched the girl off the street and held her captive for 18 years in a compound in their Northern California backyard, where Jaycee raised her two daughters, whom police say Garirdo fathered.

Now, sources tell CBS News that, though the compound looked primitive, the tents there held a classroom with geography maps and electricity that powered a computer.

After their release, Jaycee's aunt, Tina Dugard, marveled to reporters about how well-educated the girls were, saying, "Jaycee is a remarkable young woman who raised two beautiful daughters. They are clever, articulate, curious girls."

CBS News has also learned the Garridos hid Jaycee and the girls in plain sight, taking them out in public, to the beach, the library, and the movies. They even went trick-or-treating, with Phillip Garrido in a gorilla costume.

Nancy Garrido's reported to be very frail behind bars. She's had visits from family, Kauffman says, but Mr. Garrido hasn't had any visitors.

Meanwhile, Jaycee is about to celebrate the first Christmas with her family in 18 years

Garrido rape victim stares down Jaycee Dugard's alleged kidnapper

PLACERVILLE — The discovery of Jaycee Dugard and the sordid allegations against Phillip and Nancy Garrido drew a frenzy of global attention.
Now, as the case against the couple crawls along in a quiet Placerville basement courtroom, it's attracting a different kind of following: people from the past.
The man believed to be Dugard's biological father and the woman Phillip Garrido kidnapped and raped in 1976 both showed up Friday to watch the couple sit quietly in red jail jumpsuits and leave the courtroom in a few short minutes.
El Dorado County Superior Court Judge Douglas Phimister put off any actions until Jan. 21, saying nothing can happen until a state appeals court rules on whether Nancy Garrido's lawyer, who Phimister booted off the case last month, will return to defend her.
Later, the attorney, Gilbert Maines, again dismissed allegations that he discussed the case over drinks at a country club bar and talked about a book or movie deal.
"That's enough of that," he said brusquely. "I never get drunk or obnoxious and I never discuss the case when I'm drinking."
Maines said he did not know the accuracy of recent allegations that Phillip Garrido plied Nancy Garrido with methamphetamine, which might have made her vulnerable to his criminal influence.

Jaycee Dugard and her family calls horror filmmaker's plan to tell her story 'exploitive, hurtful'

The kidnapping of the California girl who was held captive for 18 years by a convicted rapist is being turned into a movie - by a horror director whose credits include such low-budget films as "Amateur Porn Star Killer" and "Romance Road Killers" - and she and her loved ones are outraged.

The family of Jaycee Dugard, who was found alive this August after having been snatched off the street at age 11, expressed their strong objections to the filmmaker's plans through a representative.

"There is only one true and factual story to be told," said spokewoman Nancy Seltzer according to etonline.com. "If and when Jaycee and her family think it is appropriate, their story will be told by them, in a forum of their choosing with the respect and thoughtfulness they so deserve. Anyone else speculating about the details of such a personal hurt, for financial gain, is exploitive, hurtful and breathtakingly unkind."

The film maker, Shane Ryan, said he planned to begin shooting the movie next month. Titled "Abducted Girl, An American Sex Slave," the story will reportedly focus on the relationship between Dugard, now 30, and Phillip Garrido, who is accused of raping and fathering the girl's two children while she was held captive in a decrepit compound of shacks and tents in Garrido's backyard in Antioch, Calif. Garrido's wife, Nancy, has also been charged.

"We want to capture how sad this story is, but also how interesting," Ryan told a Sacramento TV station. "We're trying to figure out a way to do that so it's not exploitative."

I think Jaycee should be getting any money that comes out of this project. But stopping it completly isnt going to happen. Even if this guy dosnt make this movie someone else will. I would rather see it done this way then I dont know a lifetime made for tv movie. It has a chance of telling her story better then someone else might do.

True. But don't you think that he should respect her feelings and opinion? Jaycee and her family are angry about the project and have spoken out against it.

Their opinion can't stop him from pursuing the project but I would think that he would react to what they had to say. I for one, would rather watch something that she had input on and that she approved of. All he can really do is rehash the story from what has already been released in the media. Which isn't much.

Jaycee Dugard Case: Porn Actor Shane Ryan Wants to Make Adult Movie on Sex Slave Story
By Pete Kotz in Books-TV-Film, Child Abuse, Creeps, Sex crimes, kidnapping Monday, Nov. 23 2009 @ 1:16PM20 comment(s)

The slogan for his movie Amateur Porn Star Killer: "This young girl will be humiliated, raped, murdered... and you will watch"
Because you can never be too classy, porn actor Shane Ryan has decided to make an adult movie on the saga of Jaycee Dugard, the girl who was kidnapped and spent 18 years as a sex slave in California.

Ryan, who's made such classics as Amateur Porn Star Killer and Vaginal Holocaust -- which have somehow gone unrecognized by Oscar voters -- wants to make a movie called Abducted Girl: An American Sex Slave.

He told CBS 13 that he doesn't want to exploit the case. He just... well... you know... wants to exploit the case. "We want to capture how sad this story is, but also how interesting. We're trying to figure out a way to do that so it's not exploitative."

I would hardly compare Michael Moore shedding light on the issue of lack of gun control and the power of the NRA in our country the same thing as eroticizing the rape of a child.

Jaycee Dugard, the Northern California woman who was kidnapped as a child and held prisoner for 18 years, kept a diary in which she wrote of longing for freedom and feeling both emotionally trapped and protective of the man charged with raping her, court documents filed Thursday show.

"It feels like I'm sinking. ... this is supposed to be my life to do with what I like ... but once again he has taken it away," Dugard wrote in an entry dated July 5, 2004, almost five years before she surfaced last summer with the two daughters fathered by her alleged captor Phillip Garrido.

"How many times is he allowed to take it away from me?" she wrote. "I am afraid he doesn't see how the things he says makes me a prisoner."

El Dorado County prosecutors quoted three portions of Dugard's diary in the court papers seeking a protective order barring Garrido and his wife Nancy from trying to contact Dugard or her children, now 12 and 15.
[...]

The documents also reveal new details about Dugard's captivity, saying she was kept in a building in a hidden compound inside the backyard of the Garridos' Antioch home for the first 18 months after her abduction then prohibited from leaving the yard for the first four years.

In another diary entry, dated more than two years after Dugard was snatched from the street outside her South Lake Tahoe home, Dugard wrote, "I got (a cat) for my birthday from Phil and Nancy ... they did something for me that no one else would do for me, they paid 200 dollars just so I could have my own kitten."

A decade later, however, Dugard wrote of the complex emotions surrounding her situation and Phillip Garrido.

"I don't want to hurt him ... sometimes I think my very presence hurts him," she wrote. "So how can I ever tell him how I want to be free. Free to come and go as I please ... Free to say I have a family. I will never cause him pain if it's in my power to prevent it. FREE."

In the court filing, Pierson said Dugard and the two daughters she had by Garrido when she was 14 and 17 had been instructed by the Garridos to run to the hidden backyard if anyone ever came to the door.

He also described a plan that Phillip Garrido allegedly hatched to stay in contact with Dugard if he was ever arrested. Dugard told prosecutors Garrido instructed her to request an attorney who could communicate directly with his "without law enforcement knowledge," the papers state.

Since Garrido's arrest, he has tried repeatedly to put the plan into action, Pierson said.

On the day he was arrested and Dugard's identity was revealed, Garrido advised her to get a lawyer. The next month, Garrido sent a letter to a Sacramento television station stating he wanted to reach Dugard "by attorney mail only."

In January, Garrido's lawyer wrote Dugard saying, "Mr. Garrido has asked me to convey that he does not harbor any ill will toward (Ms. Doe) or the children and loves them very much."

Dugard interpreted the "ill will" remark to mean she was not following the plan and that the letter was another way of manipulating her, the papers state.
[...]

The couple also are requesting permission to visit each other in jail, where they are being held on $30 million and $20 million bail, respectively.

Pierson opposed that request, too, blasting efforts by defense lawyers to portray the pair as the parental figures who deserve jailhouse visits so they can discuss the welfare of their "family."

"The defense utterly fails to recognize that Jane Doe and her children were not their 'family,' but were in fact captives - they were victims," Pierson wrote. "The unfortunate reality is that Ms. Doe and her children may not have fully realized they were captives and victims because the defendants controlled their reality."

March 5, 2010 6:05 p.m. EST
(CNN) -- Jaycee Dugard, who police say was kidnapped at 11 and held captive for 18 years, said she is "doing well" as she speaks out in a new home video.

"Hi, I'm Jaycee. I want to thank you for your support, and I'm doing well," Dugard says in the video released exclusively to ABC News, which posted excerpts of the video on its Web site Friday.

"It's been a long haul," said Dugard, "but I'm getting there."

The full statement and video, which show Dugard baking cookies with her mother and playing with her dogs, were scheduled to air on ABC News' "20/20" at 9 p.m. Friday.

It's the first public statement from Dugard since the arrests of her suspected captors -- Phillip Garrido, 58, and his wife, Nancy, 54.

The Garridos are charged with 29 felony counts in the kidnapping of Dugard, who was 11 when she was snatched from the street in front of her house in South Lake Tahoe, California.

She was 29 when found in August at the Garridos' home in Antioch, California, about 120 miles from her home. Garrido, a registered sex offender on parole at the time of his arrest, is accused of fathering two daughters with Dugard during her captivity.

Authorities say he and his wife held Dugard in a hidden compound behind their home for 18 years. The Garridos have pleaded not guilty.

Dugard now lives in seclusion with her mother, Terry Probyn, and Dugard's two daughters.

"We released this video so that you can see that we are happy and well -- when we have more to share, we will," Probyn says in the home video. "As a mother I am pleading for our privacy in this very public story."

Authorities maintain Dugard does not want to speak to Garrido or his attorneys and have tried to keep her location a secret.

I'll be interested to see this video tonight. I know this outcome was not exactly the best, but it's still nice to see someone who was abducted that isn't dead, and now has some chance at a real life.

Man said to be biological dad wants to contact Jaycee Dugard

Kenneth Slayton wants to get a message to Jaycee Dugard, the California woman kidnapped as a child and held captive for 18 years.

Slayton would like to get together with Dugard and her two children on Father's Day, but he said he is being blocked from communicating with the 29-year-old he believes is his daughter.

When Dugard went missing in 1991, FBI agents investigating the 11-year-old's disappearance knocked on Slayton's door because the truck driver had been identified as her biological father.

Slayton said he was shocked by the FBI visit because until then he didn't know about Jaycee was his daughter.

The 64-year-old truck driver said he was shocked again last August when he heard a radio report his long-lost daughter had been found alive.

"I almost wrecked my truck," Slayton said.

But Dugard's return to her family did not include Slayton. He said he is desperately trying to change that.

"Since she has been found, I have done everything I could to make contact with Jaycee, but to no avail," Slayton said at a news conference Friday.

Doing everything included hiring celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred.

California lawmakers approve $20 million to settle Dugard claims
CNN) -- The California Assembly on Thursday passed a bill appropriating $20 million to kidnapping victim Jaycee Dugard to settle her claims against the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, according to the chief clerk's office.

The bill passed on a 30-1 vote in the Senate and a 62-0 vote in the Assembly, according to CNN affiliate KCRA. Corrections officials entered into the settlement with Dugard, the station said.

Dugard vanished in 1991 at the age of 11. She was found in August 2009, living in a shed in the Antioch, California, backyard of Phillip Garrido, a registered sex offender who had been on parole since January 1988. Investigators say Garrido fathered two children with Dugard during her captivity. He and his wife, Nancy, are charged with 29 felony counts in the case. Both have pleaded not guilty.

In a report issued in November, the state inspector general's office found the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation failed to properly keep tabs on Garrido or properly supervise the officers assigned to his case.

"While it is true that Garrido's California parole was never officially violated, our review shows that Garrido committed numerous parole violations and that the department failed to properly supervise Garrido and missed numerous opportunities to discover his victims," the report said.

Parole officers failed to investigate utility wires running from Garrido's house toward the shed where Dugard was held, to check out the presence of a 12-year-old girl during a visit or to act on information the report said "clearly" showed Garrido had violated the terms of his release, the report said.

Video: Kidnapping victim battles father Dugard, who is now 30, her mothers and her daughters had filed a claim saying state corrections officials failed to do their jobs, seeking psychological, physical and emotional damages, KCRA said.
[...]
The language was inserted into a bill concerning claims against the state. Fuentes is chairman of the Assembly's Appropriations Committee, Long said. Every year as part of the budget process, the chair submits two bills for judgments against the state, Long said. It was decided that this would be the quickest way to get it through the Assembly, he said.

Officials thought the state might have a case if it fought Dugard's claim, but it wasn't worth the case going to a jury, Long said.

Because the constitutional deadline for an approved state budget has passed and California is in a new fiscal year without a budget, no appropriations can be made without Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's consent. Schwarzenegger has to request the bill be moved to his desk to sign it, Long said.

Garrido was paroled in August 1988 after serving 11 years of a federal kidnapping sentence. He also served a five-year term in Nevada for rape charges.

The November report from California Inspector-General David Shaw was limited to reviewing the actions of state parole officers in charge of monitoring Garrido from June 1999 until Dugard and her children were discovered. But Garrido was under the supervision of federal parole officers when authorities say he kidnapped Dugard in 1991, and they also "failed to detect Garrido's criminal conduct and his victims," the report says.

Garrido was only "properly supervised" for 12 out of the 123 months he was under California's supervision, "a failure rate of about 90 percent," Shaw told reporters in November.http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/07/01/california.dugard/index.html

Jaycee Dugard Writing Memoir

NEW YORK -- Jaycee Dugard, who survived being kidnapped at age 11 and held captive for 18 years, is writing a memoir.

Simon & Schuster announced Monday Dugard's book is scheduled to come out next year. Financial terms were not disclosed.

According to the publisher, the 30-year-old Dugard will write the currently untitled book herself and cover her life from her abduction in 1991 to how she is doing now.

Last week, a judge in California temporarily suspended criminal proceedings against Phillip Garrido, the man accused of kidnapping Dugard, citing worries about Garrido's mental state. Garrido faces 29 counts of kidnapping, rape and false imprisonment in the disappearance of Dugard.

Judge Douglas Phimister said he's seen behavior from Phillip Garrido several times in court that was troubling.

"When someone either wants to go to trial for crazy reasons, or not go to trial for crazy reasons, that person is not competent," Susan Gellman, Garrido's attorney, said Friday. "And that's what we're talking about."

A preliminary hearing had been scheduled to start Oct. 7.

Phillip and Nancy Garrido raped Jaycee Dugard twice the day they abducted her from her South Lake Tahoe street, then repeatedly throughout her childhood years, and Phillip Garrido recorded the sex acts on video up through the early part of Jaycee's first pregnancy at age 14, according to details in an 18-count indictment released Friday.
The grand jury indictment, filed Sept. 21, will spare the victim from testifying at a preliminary hearing in the case against the couple. It replaces 29 charges that prosecutors filed within days of the Garridos' Aug. 26, 2009, arrest.

The revelation of the videotaped evidence is new.

Dugard, two El Dorado County investigators and Contra Costa County sheriff's Detective Garrett Schiro testified before the grand jury.

The indictment includes counts of kidnapping, forcible rape, and several counts of forcible lewd acts upon a child, enumerated by date range. It also includes a child pornography count and eight special allegations against the couple, as well as five more against only Phillip Garrido related to his past sexual crimes.

Garrido, 59, was a registered sex offender on lifetime parole for the 1976 rape of a South Lake Tahoe woman he kidnapped. He awaits an evaluation to determine his mental competency.

Nancy Garrido, 44, pleaded not guilty Friday. The couple remain jailed in Placerville.

Prosecutors accuse the couple of abducting Jaycee, spiriting her away to their home outside Antioch and holding her for years in sexual bondage in a hidden backyard compound of tents and sheds, where she raised the two girls that Phillip Garrido fathered.

Phillip Garrido had served 11 years of a 50-year federal sentence for the 1976 kidnapping and was under federal parole supervision when authorities say he and Nancy Garrido kidnapped 11-year-old Jaycee. In 1999 he fell under California's watch in a parole agreement with Nevada. In July, the Legislature approved a $20 million payout to Jaycee Dugard and her two girls, an admission of myriad failures to discover her and the girls, now 12 and 16.

This week, publisher Simon & Schuster announced that Dugard is writing a memoir, to be released next year.

Couple Confess to Kidnapping Jaycee Dugard

Updated: Monday, 28 Feb 2011, 6:30 PM CST

(NewsCore) - Phillip and Nancy Garrido, the couple charged with kidnapping Jaycee Lee Dugard in 1991 and holding her captive for 18 years, have confessed to the crime, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday.
An attorney for Nancy Garrido said the couple confessed recently during an interview with detectives.
Dugard was found in August 2009, living in a tent behind the Garridos' home, with two daughters allegedly fathered by Phillip Garrido.
She was awarded $20 million from the State of California last year to settle her family's claim that Phillip Garrido was poorly supervised while he was on parole for a previous kidnapping and rape conviction.
A hearing to determine Phillip Garrido's mental competence had been scheduled to begin Monday, but attorneys in the case instead agreed to allow a judge to determine if he is competent enough to stand trial for the crime. Judge Douglas C. Phimister then ruled that Garrido was competent.
Phillip and Nancy Garrido are being held in El Dorado County Jail and face multiple charges that include kidnapping, rape and false imprisonment.

Jaycee Dugard suspect to judge: I'm not guilty

(CBS/AP) SAN FRANCISCO - A convicted sex offender pleaded not guilty to charges of kidnapping and raping a Northern California girl when she was 11 and holding her captive for nearly two decades.

It came as a surprise after an attorney said Phillip Garrido had made a deal with prosecutors to plead guilty. It would have sent him to prison for the rest of his life.

Last week, an agreement was outlined during a closed-door meeting that attorney Stephen Tapson said he attended with prosecutors, the public defender representing Garrido and the judge presiding over the highly publicized case.

If convicted on all counts, the maximum sentence for Nancy Garrido would be 181 years, while Phillip Garrido could get 431 years, according to El Dorado County Deputy District Attorney James Clinchard.http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/04/07/national/main20051754.shtml?tag=breakingnews

I think he thinks that somehow, with a trial, he will gain the contact with Jaycee that he wants. It's going to be hard for that young woman to sit in a courtroom and face this man, but it will be exactly what he wants. Personal contact. He's a creepy sicko who controlled her for all those years and now he wants to try and exert that control again.

I think that, if he ever, by some off-the-wall chance, walks the streets again, he will be a danger to Jaycee and her children. He will stalk them relentlessly and never leave them alone unless he is locked away for the rest of his life. Jaycee is an adult now, but she was a child when Garrido abducted and raped her repeatedly over the years. He is an animal and should be caged as one the rest of his life.

PLACERVILLE, Calif. – A convicted sex offender and his wife pleaded guilty Thursday to kidnapping and raping a Northern California girl when she was 11 and holding her captive for nearly two decades.

The pleas came as part of a surprise deal with prosecutors that will spare victim Jaycee Dugard and her two daughters fathered by one of the defendants from having to testify at a trial.

Phillip Garrido faces a maximum sentence of 431 years to life in prison after entering guilty pleas to 14 kidnapping and sexual assault charges.

His wife, Nancy Garrido, pleaded guilty to one count of kidnapping and one count of rape. She faces a maximum sentence of 36 years to life.

Details of the case involving Phillip and Nancy Garrido in the kidnapping of Jaycee Lee Dugard, have been released in the form of transcripts from Dugard's private testimony. While a judge removed 34 pages of graphic accounts, including statements of her sexual assaults, from the transcript, 157 pages were made public, which detailed Jaycee's kidnapping and captive life with the Garridos.

Jaycee: "It lasted until I got pregnant."
Question: "Do you know about how much length of time went by until you became pregnant?"
Jaycee: "Three years."
Question: "So this was going on for that entire -- about once a week or more?"
Jaycee: "Yeah."
Jaycee: "Things really changed. He said that he was eventually going to stop having sex with me and that, you know, he was just really trying to change and he wants all to be a family."

At his home, Phillip Garrido threatened to use the stun gun on her again and said he had vicious dogs that would attack her if she left the property, she testified.
Dugard was later locked inside a backyard studio without being allowed to leave for an entire year. During later years, she felt helpless because she didn't know where she would go if she escaped.
The document was released after the Garridos were sentenced earlier in the day.
Dugard did not attend the sentencing, saying she refused to "waste another second" in the presence of the married couple she said stole her life.

Phillip and Nancy Garrido have started serving sentences in separate California prisons for their roles in the abduction and rape of Jaycee Dugard, the state's corrections department announced Thursday.

The married couple held Dugard captive for 18 years.

They pleaded guilty to charges of kidnapping and sexual assault in late April. This month a judge sentenced Phillip Garrido to 431 years to life in prison. Nancy Garrido was sentenced to 36 years to life in prison.

Authorities received Phillip Garrido on Thursday at California State Prison-Corcoran in Kings County. He will be housed in a protective unit for inmates "whose safety would be endangered by general population placement," the corrections department said in a news release.

Nancy Garrido began serving her sentence Wednesday at Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla.

Dugard was abducted from the street in front of her home in South Lake Tahoe, California, in 1991. She was 11 years old at the time of her kidnapping. Authorities found her in 2009.

During those years, the Garridos held Dugard in a hidden compound on their home's grounds in Antioch, California. She bore two daughters, fathered by Phillip Garrido.

A statement from Dugard -- now 31 -- read by her mother at the sentencing hearing earlier this month called the Garridos "evil" and described her kidnapping by them as a "sexual perversion."

Her book is one I WILL read. At least we know she will tell the truth.

I hope I can catch the interview tonight. I have so much compassion for this woman. To have gone through what she's gone through and live.... that makes her a rare commodity in itself... but she's also picked up and moved on with her children and tried to make the best life she can. You don't hear her whining about the unfairness of it all, though she was held captive for 18 years. I admire Jaycee Dugard so much.

I hope that she and her children can have a wonderful life together. I know she'll never forget the Garridos. That's impossible. But the best revenge is a life well-lived.

Very early into the Jaycee interview but I am MAJOR impressed with this young woman. As a mother, we should all aspire for such children. As a human, we should all aspire to such strength and outlook.

Agree, very impressive. Jaycee has a strong spirit and strength about her, so obvious she's a survivor. She's grown into such a wonderful young lady. I bet her parents are so proud. I'll add that I just love Diane Sawyer. Classy, beautiful woman.

With the Jaycee Dugard case over, KTVU learned exclusively Monday that Hayward police recently interviewed Phillip and Nancy Garrido in prison about another Bay Area kidnapping that happened over two decades ago.

The department has waited two years to question the Garridos about the mystery of what happened to nine-year-old Michaela Garecht in Hayward almost 23 years ago.

The case still gnaws at Hayward police Capt. Darryl McAllister.

"This is one of those cases that nags at you throughout your whole career," said McAllister.

Last week, investigators got the opportunity to interview the couple about the Garecht case.

Police noted striking similarities between the two kidnapping victims.

"They could almost be sisters," said McAllister. "Both of the interviews lasted over two hours. Neither of the interviews revealed any direct link to the Michaela Garecht case."

Witnesses say a man kidnapped Michaela in front of a grocery store, whisking her away in a car resembling one Phillip Garrido had then. Sketches of the suspect bear a distinct resemblance to Garrido as he appeared at that time.

Investigators now know that convicted sex offender Garrido was living in a halfway house 20 miles away when the kidnapping took place.

Police are pouring over the taped interviews, rechecking facts before they re-interview the Garridos.

"We're not done yet," said McAllister.

And Hayward police say they won't be done until they find out who's responsible for the disappearance of Michaela Garecht.

I totally believe they kidnapped and accidentally killed Michaela.

idnap victim Jaycee Dugard on Thursday sued the federal government and accused it of failing to monitor the felon who grabbed her off a Northern California street as a child and held her for 18 years.

Her captor, Phillip Garrido, was sentenced in June to 431 years to life in prison after pleading guilty to kidnapping and multiple counts of sexual assault, in a case that resulted from his arrest in 2009 and the stunning rescue of Dugard.

Garrido, who kidnapped Dugard in 1991 when she was 11, had previous federal convictions dating to 1977 for kidnapping and forcible rape in a case stemming from his abduction of a woman in the Tahoe area of Northern California whom he took to Reno, Nevada.

He was sentenced to 50 years in prison, but was released early on parole in 1988 after serving less than 11 years, Dugard's attorneys state in their lawsuit.

Her attorney Dale Kinsella said in a statement that from December 1988 to March 1999 federal parole agents "failed on numerous occasions to properly monitor" Garrido.

"We believe that the years of abuse experienced by Ms. Dugard are a direct result of the U.S. Parole Commission's colossal blunders in the supervision of Mr. Garrido," Kinsella said.
[...]

In particular, the lawsuit states that parole officers failed to follow up on accusations of sexual harassment made against Garrido in 1989 by a co-worker and other women at the nursing home where he was employed.

And Garrido tested positive for drugs multiple times during his first year-and-a-half under federal supervision, but that was not reported to the Parole Commission despite its "zero tolerance" for drug use by parolees, the lawsuit states.

The suit also says that parole officers, despite being required to conduct monthly personal check-ups with Garrido, failed to visit his home in 1990, 1992 and 1994.
[...]

Dugard's family received a $20 million settlement in 2009 through a state victims' compensation fund.

The California inspector general found the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation failed to properly supervise Garrido starting in 1999, when his parole case was handed over from federal officials to the state.

Dugard in her lawsuit seeks general damages in an amount to be determined according to evidence presented in court.

I really hope that she wins this suit. I was just dumbfounded when I read that the probation officers didn't make the on-site visits, or did some half-assed visits with one allowing himself to be laughingly distracted from further checking by Garrido and his wife. To imagine how close these people were to discovering that young woman and her children in the backyard, it makes me sick. How could they see all that crap in the backyard, tents and ramshackled buildings and so forth and not question or at least make an effort to look at a part of it all?

I'm thinking that what happened was like Stockholm Syndrome. She didn't scream or try to attract attention b/c if she failed to get a neighbor's or someone else's attention, there'd be horrible consequences to pay from the Garridos. She couldn't take that chance with two small children involved. She had her dreams, but her goal at that time was to survive, to be there for her children, to raise them as best she could.

To be witness to the the grace and courage that Jaycee carries herself with is amazing. Think about it. She was 11 years old. She basically raised heself and got herself to age 29 with no positive adult participation at all. It is awe-inspiring. There was definitely no positive adult anything from the Garridos. To see what Jaycee did with her life, what she did for her babies, the young woman she became is nothing less than coming extremely close to being a miracle coming to fruition.

Best wishes to Jaycee, her children and the rest of her family. You are safe now. He will never touch you again. Go on and live like there's no tomorrow, but take every tomorrow as a gift.

Garrido’s case from 1999 until Dugard was discovered in 2009. Dugard reached a $20million settlement with California for the alleged negligence State agencies committed that resulted in the abuse to continue and Dugard to remain captive.

Kidnapping survivor Jaycee Dugard made her first public appearance over the weekend at a star-studded New York awards ceremony, but she plans to remain in hiding until her daughters are mature enough to understand what happened to them, she said in a recent interview.

Dugard, 31, and her two children, ages 14 and 17, have been living at an undisclosed California location since being found by authorities in 2009 - 18 years after she was abducted from a South Lake Tahoe bus stop.
[...]

Sawyer asked Dugard if either of the Garridos had tried to contact her. "No, not at all, which is fine with me," Dugard said.

Sawyer then asked Dugard if she has days when she doesn't think about what happened to her.

Dugard replied, "Oh, sure. It's not with me every day."

Asked if anyone had caught her eye romantically, Dugard said, "No, no, I just, I can't go there yet," Dugard said. "It's too soon."

On her first trip to New York City, Jaycee Dugard attended a star-studded awards ceremony, took in a Broadway play and was awed by the city's skyscrapers. But for her, the most memorable part of the trip was going for pizza. "Just walking down the street. With everybody. It was my favorite moment," Dugard told ABC News' Diane Sawyer in an exclusive interview.
[...]

"For eighteen years I had to hide, and to be out in public, to go to a restaurant and not – because even now I feel like I have to hide," Dugard told Sawyer. "I want my girls to have a normal life as much as possible. … I feel like on some things I have to do it a little bit differently … not be recognized … for their sake."

She doesn't intend to always live in hiding, but that will have to wait until her two daughters, 17 and 14, are more mature and better able to cope with their mother's story.

"I think in time as they get older they'll know how to deal with it better and that would be the time that we would come out," she said.
[...]

Dugard, 31, was in New York City for the Diane von Furstenberg Awards and although she was surrounded by some of the most powerful and influential women in the world at the event it was Dugard who stole the show.

Oprah Winfrey, who was also honored, used part of her speech to tell Dugard, "I am so proud of you, your courage, your ability to press onward toward the future."

Dugard, who received the Inspiration Award, told Sawyer the thing she loves the most every day is freedom. "Just being free to do what I want to do, when I want to do it," she said. "That's the whole learning process to, to know that you can."

Part of enjoying her freedom is making sure the past does not have hold of her, and Dugard told Sawyer that the traumatic ordeal is not on her mind every day and that she decided to forgive Phillip and Nancy Garrido in order to move on with her life.

"It's not with me every day. That is over. Nancy and Philip are behind bars," she said. "There is so much out here to do and feel. … I feel like I can make a difference. … I don't want to be remembered for what happened." Dugard wants to be remembered for the work of her foundation, the JAYC Foundation, which stands for Just Ask Yourself to Care.

The foundation uses animal-assisted therapy, along with other support services to treat families recovering from abduction and the aftermath of traumatic experiences.

Dugard is also trying to make memories, crossing life experiences off a list she made when it seemed freedom was impossible.

So far she has gone on a hot air balloon, learned to drive and regularly rides a horse as part of her therapy, and bragged she has advanced to cantering with her horse and is now saddling the horse by herself. Working with horses, she said, teaches her confidence and assertiveness.

"You have to be very sure of yourself when you're riding. You don't want to have any doubts in your mind because they'll sense that," she said. "I had a little fall, so yeah."

She still wants to see the pyramids, swim with dolphins, touch a whale and take a train ride. And she hopes to write another book.Videos at link: http://abcnews.go.com/US/jaycee_dugard/jaycee-dugard-revels-free-york-city-talks-diane/story?id=15903510#.T2CxQPXkaSp

This young woman is amazing. I am glad she was found alive.

I have one pet peeve about the various news sources. One reports she lived in a 'compound', one said a shed, one said a 'tent' and one said a 'studio'.. so ... which is it? I'm curious because a compound suggests a lot more privacy. A shed could be made to be sound proof, a tent -not so much. A studio could also be made to be sound proof. If she were taking care of her children herself, the babies would have to cry some times, didn't anyone ever wonder about the sounds?

At various times throughout her captivity she was in all those places... all within the "compound" that was the back of the Garridos property.

Law enforcement officers believe that at the time they became involved in 2009, Dugard's living quarters were in a secondary backyard behind Phillip Garrido's house. The private area of the yard included sheds (one of which was soundproofed and used as a recording studio in which Garrido recorded himself singing religious-themed and romantic country songs), two tents, and what has been described as a camping-style shower and toilet. The area was surrounded by tall trees and a 6-foot (1.8 m) high fence. An entrance to the secondary backyard was covered by a tarpaulin. Privacy in the yard was enhanced by tents and outbuildings, as well as an old car similar to the one used in the abduction. Law enforcement officers visited the residence at least twice, but did not give the backyard more than a quick inspection. When police investigated, they found the backyard to be crowded with typical childhood possessions, including books and toys, among the tents and sheds. Electricity was supplied by extension cords. Jaycee Dugard was seen in the house and sometimes answered the front door. While the family kept to themselves, the girls were sometimes seen playing in the backyard or as passengers in Garrido's car.
