SACRAMENTO, Calif. A woman who was snatched from a bus stop as an 11-year-old child in 1991 turned up at a California police station after 18 mysterious years, and a convicted sex offender and his wife were arrested in the kidnapping.

Phillip Garrido was sentenced to 50 years in prison and served nearly 11 years in Nevada for a federal kidnapping conviction, said Suzanne Pardee, a spokeswoman for Nevada state prisons.

Oh...I’m not questioning your dates. Just posting what I read elsewhere. :)
The neighbors are talking and they were aware of the two younger girls. It is reported that calls were made to the police on several occassions that something was not quiet right.
The neighbors knew he was a sex offender and he was on Megan List.
It is obvious the parole officer did not talk to the neighbors or they would have discovered there were two young girls living there.
What kind of info doesn’t supply dates? I checked the California state site and it doesn’t list dates either.
I don’t know yet if anybody dropped the ball. Perhaps they did. But over an 18 year span of time it is probable that there were several “almost” moments when various people might have connected some dots and discovered what was going on, but didn’t for some reason.
yah, that timeline doesn’t make sense. I wonder if the 1999 date isn’t just wrong. They said in the presser today that his earlier conviction was in 1971. Presumably, this would be the one where he served 11 years of his sentence. That would put him getting out in 1982. Right?
Or did he go to prison more than once?
I don't know. I checked California's site and it listed one conviction. Another article said he was released Aug 88. Hopefully, some news agency will get it correct. Eventually.
I can think of a lot of others.
