With a criminal this twisted, anything's possible.
Cops are poring over the files of numerous unsolved murders and abductions in northern Nevada to see if the man who snatched Jaycee Lee Dugard 18 years ago and made her his sex slave might be linked to them.
Among the cases investigators are looking at are the murders of a brother and sister who disappeared in 1989 -- two years before "Creepy Phil" Garrido and his wife snatched Dugard near Lake Tahoe.
"There might not be any link between the cases and him, but we'd be crazy not to look at the possibility," said Reno police Lt. Mike Whan.
Jennifer and Charles Chia were abducted on the 100-yard walk from the bus stop to their home in Reno. The remains of the 6- and 7-year-olds were found nine months later about 60 miles to the northwest in California.
Whan said cops were specifically looking at cases around 1976 -- when Garrido was arrested for abducting a woman near Lake Tahoe and taking her to Reno, where he raped her for hours -- and in the years after he was released from prison in 1988.
Investigators also were looking at the abduction and murder of 7-year-old Monica DaSilva, who was taken from her bedroom in Reno in 1990. Her remains were found three weeks later east of town.
Dugard was taken from outside her house in 1991 when she was 11 and was held for the next 18 years, during which Garrido repeatedly raped her and impregnated her twice with daughters who are now 11 and 15.
"During that time period, we had those child-abduction cases and since then, we haven't had any," Whan noted. "Kind of interesting."
The woman Garrido assaulted in 1976, Katherine Callaway Hall, told cops he talked about abducting two other girls -- one from the San Francisco Bay area and the other possibly in Las Vegas.
South Lake Tahoe, Calif., police said they were reviewing the unsolved murder of a 17-year-old who was killed the same year Hall was attacked.
"Anything is possible with this guy," Whan said. "This guy would be a better suspect than others based on the prior crimes he has committed."
