Bone Fragment Found Next to House Jaycee Lee Dugard was Held Captive for 18 Years

Phillip Garrido is still being investigated for the death of 10 prostitutes near where he worked during the 1990s. New evidence could lead investigators in establishing a link between this child kidnapper and the death of 10 area prostitutes.

“Cadaver dogs turned up a small bone fragment on the property next to the Antioch home where Phillip Garrido is accused of cloistering kidnap victim Jaycee Dugard for 18 years. And Garrido’s shadowy past grew even more disturbing Monday as his first wife and a woman he was convicted of raping in 1976 talked publicly for the first time about vicious attacks.” (Linda Goldston and Paul Burgarino Bay Area News Group)

“Detectives have been searching 58-year-old Phillip Garrido’s property and the garden next door, where he used to be caretaker, for possible links to the other unsolved sex crimes, including the murder of prostitutes. Jimmy Lee, a spokesman for Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Department, said that it would be several weeks before tests showed whether the fragment was human or animal.” (Jenny Booth Times online)

“The search ended about 6 p.m. Monday at Walnut Avenue on unincorporated land outside Antioch. It included the Garridos’ property and its shabby compound of outbuildings and tents, where Phillip Garrido, 58, allegedly held Dugard, now 29, and the two daughters authorities say she had by him. It also included a neighboring property where, police said, Garrido once lived in a shed.” (Demian Bulwa, Chronicle Staff Writer)

“Garrido himself testified during the unrelated rape and kidnapping case decades ago that he often prowled through neighborhoods as a Peeping Tom and suffered from strong rape desires.

The disturbing new details of the life of the admitted sexual predator comes from trial transcripts and other court documents — including psychiatric reports — produced in a Reno federal courtroom in 1976 and 1977 and made public Monday. ” (CBS 5)

If the bone fragment matches one of the dead prostitutes murder charges could be added to the long list of Garrido’s felony charges. The Grove had mentioned before that it’s a strange coincident that Garrido used several non-existent landscaping references in his spiritual manifesto and that one of the previous pittsburg murders happened at a landscaping business.
