Well LEO"s could have checked out the complaint by neighbors a couple of years ago that there were tents in this guys backyard with children back there knowing he was a sex offender.

They could hhave been discovered sooner, at least.

I read that a neighbor heard childrens voices but her husband told her to leave the guy alone, it was none of their business. Which article is correct? The SacBee article just says "neighbors" but AP names one. Don't you love the press and the conflicting "facts"?

Kidnapped woman hidden in CA backyard for 18 years

Neighbor Diane Doty said she could see the tents and often heard children playing in the backyard, the corner of which abuts her own backyard. She said she even suspected the children lived in the tents, but her husband said she should leave the family alone.

"I asked my husband, 'Why is he living in tents?'" she said. "And he said, 'Maybe that is how they like to live.'"
