A Web site containing statements apparently from Garrido and others indicates that he gave a demonstration in Pittsburg last month to prove “the Creator has given me the ability to speak in the tongue of angels in order to provide a wake-up call that will in time include the salvation of the entire world.”
Garrido also had a printing business, some acquaintances said. Tiffany Tran, who runs Furniture Gallery in Brentwood, said she had seen and done business with “Phil the printer” for six years, as recently as last week.
She recalled Garrido as being “a little different” and said he constantly talked about religion and showed her a device through which he claimed could control sound with his mind.
“Some people have a story behind their smile, some don’t - he did,” Tran said. “He was happy-go-lucky, but you knew there was a story behind it.”
She said he was very religious and talked about how God had been his salvation.
“He loved God. He said God was amazing,” Tran said. “He talked about how much God had changed him, that he had been corrupted with womanizing and with this and that.”

Evil hypocritical godless sack of sh!t should be physically and emotionally destroyed before being sent straight the h#ll.
And yes, I am holding back.
Looks like he was building up for an insanity defense.
“Erika Pratt, 25, who lived next door two years ago, said she was continuously “freaked out” by Garrido’s behavior, and that when she popped her head over the fence she saw his secret compound. She saw tents, sheds and pit bull dogs, and water hoses leading from her house next door to the compound.
“He told us to come on over and hear him talk about God, but he was really weird,” Pratt said. “He had little girls and women living in that back yard, and they all looked kind of the same. They never talked, and they kept to themselves.”
Pratt said people came and went from the property, but the core group consisted of two girls about 4 years old, one girl about 11, another girl about 15 and a young woman about 25. They were all blonde, she said.
Pratt added that she called police to investigate, but after officers went to Garrido’s door, “they told me they couldn’t go inside because they didn’t have a warrant. So they just told him they’d keep an eye on him.”
Haydee Perry, 35, who lives next door, said that when Phillip Garrido helped her jump-start her car a month ago, he had a pre-adolescent girl clinging to him in a manner that struck her as strange.
“
The girl told Perry that Garrido was her father and that she had older sisters, including one who was 28 - which is one year younger than Jaycee Dugard is believed to be now.”

Sounds like he was on the way to fathering his own cult.
No punishment can replace what the young lady has lost, but I sure hope the whack-job gets put away for good this time without ever having any opportunity for parole. There is no way he should ever be permitted to roam free in society again. What an absolute travesty.
The Sheriff has held a news conference.
Confirms there was a 911 call three years ago.
Confirms a deputy responded and talked to Garrido.
Says Deputy was not aware that Garrido was a registered sex offender. Did not investigate. Treated the report as a “code violation”. No follow up.
Confirmed a year ago a task force set up to check on sex offenders visited Garrido and did not find any problem.
