Kidnapped Girl's Story Gives Hope To Some Parents
58,000 Kids Taken In Non-Family Abductions Each Year In US

Patty Wetterling keeps a scrapbook of news clippings about abducted children being reunited with their families years later. It's a source of hope for Wetterling, whose son, Jacob, was abducted nearly 20 years ago in central Minnesota.

Soon, Wetterling will add another child's story to her book: Jaycee Lee Dugard's.

"My heart's smiling," Wetterling said of reports that Dugard had been reunited with her family in California 18 years after she was abducted at age 11. "It doesn't happen often enough, but we always have hope in our hearts that it will."

Dugard's case, and others like it, show families whose children have been missing for years that such reunions are possible.

More than 58,000 children are taken in non-family abductions every year in the U.S., according to Justice Department estimates. Most of those cases are resolved within the first 24 hours, while an estimated 115 children are victims of real kidnapping -- where the child is held, taken a long distance, killed or kept.

Garrido Admitted To Twisted Sex Fantasies
Aug 29, 2009 2:46 pm US/Pacific
<snipped>
Phillip Garrido spent the 1970s on one debauchery after another: LSD trips, cocaine binges, pot smoking, public masturbation. Then in 1976, he found a new way to indulge his twisted sexual fantasies.

The shocking rape case provided an early glimpse into the criminal exploits of Garrido, who allegedly snatched 11-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard from a bus stop and held her captive for 18 years, fathering her two children, before being arrested this week in Antioch.

It also serves as an example of how he managed to somehow slip through the cracks of the system. In 1977, Garrido was sentenced to 50 years for the kidnapping conviction and life for the rape conviction, but he was granted parole in 1988 for reasons that are unclear at this point.

Meanwhile, DeMaranville said he was surprised about Garrido's latest arrest.

"Why is he out and about?" he asked. "If he's on lifetime parole, where was his parole officer? The guy was a sick puppy, and should have been neutered before he was paroled."

Police In Kidnapping Case Search Next Door
Aug 30, 2009 2:05 pm US/Pacific
<snipped>
Investigators expanded their search Sunday to a property next door to the Antioch home of a couple charged with kidnapping a little girl and holding her in a compound for 18 years.

Neighbors said Phillip Garrido, who along with his wife Nancy is charged with kidnapping Kaycee Lee Dugard, once served as a caretaker at the adjoining property, which sits behind a white house with a chain-link fence.

Also Sunday, investigators armed with rakes, shovels and chain saws and also continued combing Garrido's property on Walnut Avenue, where authorities said he and his wife kept Dugard in a scruffy compound of tents and sheds, hidden by trees and tall fences.

A Contra Costa County sheriff's spokesman planned to make a statement later Sunday clarifying why they were looking at the second property.

Experts: Kidnap victim faces difficult recovery
August 30, 2009
<snipped>
She should have been in high school and going on first dates, maybe leaving home for college, finding her first apartment, falling in love - growing up.

She was found Wednesday in Antioch, and Thursday saw her mother for the first time since June 1991. But her recovery has barely started, say experts in child psychiatry and post-traumatic stress.

How well she progresses, along with her two children, depends on the quality of professional help she receives, and the strength of her support network.

"Someone asked me if I think she'll ever have a normal life. I'm not sure 'normal' is the word," said Paula Fass, a history professor at UC Berkeley and author of the book "Kidnapped: Child Abduction in America." "But let's hope she can still live decently and reconnect with that earlier life. The challenge will be to try to integrate these two parts of her life - before she was taken, and her children now - in a way that can be meaningful."

Jaycee's disappearance: Contra Costa Times reporter recalls the summer of 1991
Posted: 08/28/2009 04:53:09 PM PDT
Updated: 08/30/2009 12:21:57 PM PDT
<snipped>
EIGHTEEN YEARS ago, I was a reporter working at my first daily newspaper, the Tahoe Daily Tribune, where I covered a beat known as "cops and courts."

I had a news conference to go to. A little girl who loved pink had been snatched off the street in front of her house.

I knew the neighborhood. A few months earlier, my wife (I had just married) had crashed spectacularly during an after-work mountain bike ride and I had called 911 from a friend's house just a block or so up the street from Jaycee Lee Dugard's.

Tahoe is a lot of things to a lot of people, but for those who live there it is a small community.

Now it was a small community under a media invasion.

As I recall, the news conference was arranged so that the girl's mother, Terry Probyn, could make a plea for her daughter's return.

The sheriff's department was running the show and at one point a well-dressed woman at the back of the swarm of reporters yelled, "what are you hiding in that house?"

What???

The police, she said, would not let her camera crew into the family's house. She could see they were doing something with the phones in there. What were they hiding?

I figured later she must have worked for a television tabloid show. All I knew at the time was that she was scum, and she looked like well-paid scum.

Search intensifies at kidnap suspect's compound
August 30, 2009
<snipped>
Police continued to search Phillip and Nancy Garrido's reputed backyard prison compound Saturday near Antioch, pulling items out of scrap heaps, poring over rusted cars encircled by overgrown weeds, and walking through dilapidated tents where authorities say an 11-year-old girl was held captive for 18 years.

Police want to know if Garrido, a registered sex offender, is connected to a string of unsolved prostitute killings in Pittsburg in 1998 and 1999.

Some of the 10 women who were killed then were found strangled, stabbed and dumped in a ditch in an industrial area at the same time Garrido worked nearby, according to Capt. Dan Terry of the Contra Costa County sheriff's office.

Police blocked off both entrances to the U-shaped avenue, letting only credentialed media and residents pass through. Four officers searched the yard, while press photographers shot pictures through holes in the fence.

The Sheriff's Department and state parole officials have had to answer public criticism for not discovering the lair that Garrido concealed behind a false backyard wall, despite periodic law enforcement visits to his home.

Kidnapped girl etched in Lake Tahoe community's heart
August 30, 2009
<snipped>
Some knew her, others only knew of her. But they will never forget the day 18 years ago when the blonde, blue-eyed 11-year-old was snatched in broad daylight on her way to a bus stop.

Her scream. A frantic sprint on a mountain bike by her stepfather up the twisted mountain road as he tried to catch up to the Ford Granada and the unknown man and woman who had just ripped his family's lives to shreds before his eyes.

But beneath the facade of a tourist town, where workers come and go with each passing season, is a tight-knit community that never forgot Jaycee Lee Dugard, a little girl who loved the color pink.

Her mother, Terry Probyn, and stepfather, Carl, were relative newcomers to the Tahoe community.

But the community shared their nightmare and embraced them, holding fundraisers, putting up fliers and adorning the town in pink ribbons to keep Jaycee in their hearts after she was kidnapped June 10, 1991.

In 2001, 10 years later, more than 100 people marched on U.S. 50, the main 'highway through town, in a pink ribbon parade to remember the little girl and raise awareness of child safety and Jaycees' unsolved kidnapping.

Terry Probyn, who left Tahoe in 1998 and moved to Southern California, returned for the anniversary.

South Lake Tahoe, she said, will again bloom in pink bows and ribbons &#8212; this time in celebration of a life renewed.

Calif. Police Expand Search in Kidnapping Case

ANTIOCH, Calif. &#8212; Armed with rakes, shovels and chain saws, about 20 officers on Sunday combed the backyard of a couple charged with kidnapping and raping Jaycee Lee Dugard and used cadaver dogs to search an adjoining property where neighbors say one of the suspects once served as a caretaker.

Sheriff's deputies and prosecutors from two counties and officers from two city police departments were using the dogs, shovels and other tools to inspect the neighboring yard, which sits behind an off-white house with a chain link fence.

"We do consider it a crime scene," said Jimmy Lee, a spokesman for the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department.

Search continues in Dugard case
Monday, August 31, 2009 | 9:28 AM
<snipped>
"I'm going to confirm those are cadaver dogs. We're going to have them go through the backyard," Jimmy Lee with the Contra Costa Sheriff's Department told reporters Sunday.

Dogs and officers intensively searched the Antioch backyard where Garrido is accused of holding Dugard prisoner for 18 years. A next door neighbor's yard was also cordoned off as a crime scene. Investigators set up tents between a red shed and corrugated tin-roofed barn as they mowed down thick weeds.

A neighbor who wants to remain anonymous told ABC7 News Sunday that between 2003 and 2006 the property was vacant, and that the owner gave Garrido keys to the barn, the vehicles, and the house.

That neighbor also told ABC7 news about a memory that haunts her.

"I heard girls crying," she said. "It's a sick, sick feeling to know you heard that and it was right there, and you didn't do a damn thing."

Investigators say the investigation overall is so complicated that it may take weeks or months to resolve.

Inside Jaycee Dugard's Tent Compound
Police Expand Search To Neighboring Properties
Aug 31, 2009 7:50 am US/Pacific
<snipped>
The "Welcome" sign hanging on a tree branch is a touch of irony, considering the setting: Hidden from view, squalid, rustic (save for electrical cords allowing for lights), and - given the story behind the secret backyard compound - terribly bleak.

The first views of the inside of Phillip and Nancy Garrido's backyard tent compound, in which Jaycee Lee Dugard is alleged to have been held captive for 18 years, show touches of normalcy - shelves and boxes of paperback books, including one titled "Self Esteem: A Family Affair"; an aquarium; cat figurines - amidst turmoil.

The pictures show small chests of drawers and plastic storage containers inside a drooping tent. One large tent with rugs on the ground contains a bed piled high with more boxes and strewn with clothes.

Tarps, tents and a wooden structure are seen in the backyard of alleged kidnapper Phillip Garrido on Aug. 28, 2009, in Antioch, Calif.
