KTVN Channel 2 - Reno Tahoe News Weather, Video - Report Details Dugard's Reaction When Police Discovered Her
Member Center:
The inspector general's report shows two days after U.C. Berkeley police first questioned Phillip Garrido, he was returned - as ordered - to his parole office for a meeting.
He brought his wife Nancy and three girls with him - Jaycee Dugard and her two daughters.
The officers separated Garrido from the rest.
Jaycee went by the name "Alyssa." she said she was 29 and confirmed she was the younger girls' mother.
But as the questions continued, "Alyssa" grew defensive and agitated at the questions."
She said she gave permission for Garrido to take her daughters to U.C. Berkeley. And that she knew Garrido was a sex offender on parole for kidnapping and raping a woman.
But she defended Garrido saying he was a changed man and a great person who was good with her kids.
Then Jaycee stopped talking.
Meantime, Garrido said all three girls were sisters and they belonged to his brother.
Confronted again, Jaycee apologized for lying and gave officers a bogus story that she was from Minnesota hiding from an abusive husband for the last 5 years.
Eventually, it was Phillip Garrido who broke down and admitted to fathering the two younger girls and to kidnapping and raping "Alyssa."
"Alyssa" later confirmed she was in fact Jaycee Dugard - the 11-year-old girl kidnapped from a South Lake Tahoe neighborhood 18 years ago.
