Nancy Garrido, the wife of Jaycee Dugard's accused kidnapper, has a serious legal problem in her defense: She apparently kept the girl prisoner for a five month period while her husband Phillip Garrido went to prison for violating his parole, her lawyer acknowledged today.

One of the many legal dilemmas Nancy Garrido faces is what she did during five months when Phillip was serving a prison sentence for violating his parole in 1993, just two years after Dugard was snatched off a school bus stop. Dugard was still only 13 when Phillip Garrido was returned to prison.
But Nancy Garrido clearly made no effort to send Dugard home during that time.

Police: No Doubt Nancy Was at Dugard Kidnapping
Nancy Garrido, then Nancy Bocanegra, met her future husband Phillip Garrido while he was serving time in Leavenworth prison, according to Phillip's brother.
At the time Nancy was visiting her uncle and soon after Nancy and Phillip began to write love letters to each other, Phillip's brother said. Public records show the two married in October 1981, seven years before Phillip would be released from prison.
Following his release the police say the couple conspired and kidnapped Dugard in 1991, beginning 18 years of torment for the young girl and her family.
Dugard's stepfather, Carl Probyn, witnessed the abduction and says it was Nancy who helped Philip snatch the young girl.
Probyn described the kidnapper to a sketch artist 18 years ago and it appears to look enough like Nancy that the police have no doubt.
"Nancy was with Philip at the original kidnapping. She was the female identified in the original car. She matches that description," said El Dorado County Undersheriff Fred Kollar.
