Sex slave Jaycee Lee Dugard ‘sorry for bonding with Phillip Garrido’
Jaycee Lee Dugard: was taken from a bus stop in 1991
After being imprisoned as a sex slave for almost two decades and forced to bear the children of her captor, Jaycee Lee Dugard had one thing to say as she was reunited with her family yesterday: “I’m sorry.”
“She is very remorseful,” said her stepfather, Carl Probyn. “She feels really guilty for bonding with this man. There’s really a guilt trip here.”
America was shocked by the abduction of Jaycee, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed 11-year-old in a pink top and trousers from a bus stop outside her home in 1991. In spite of intense press interest, the case went cold.
The next time anyone heard from her was on Wednesday this week, 18 years after she was snatched, when she turned up at a parole office in the town of Concord, California, in bizarre circumstances. Accompanying her was her suspected kidnapper, Phillip Garrido, 58, his wife, Nancy, 55, and two children.
According to various witnesses, Ms Dugard was in good health but uneducated, and looked barely older than when she disappeared. “She looks almost like when she was kidnapped,” said Mr Probyn, whose wife and daughter were spending their first full day with her yesterday since her disappearance. “She looks very young. She doesn’t look 29 at all.”

I must have rode by that house a hundred times on my way to the Antioch bridge
Thank God for suspicious minds...
Oh, the poor girl. I hope she gets *really good* psychological help.
I have a daughter who’s 11.
Bless the secuirty guard for being on the ball and getting involved. A real hero.
The man and his wife need the death penalty for what they did.
She has nothing to be sorry for.
If we did what we should do to sex offenders, like life in prison no parole or the death penalty, think of all the bad things that never would have happened. Again.
In our watered down system that would mean a firm 5 years before possibility of parole...
I saw in another thread they’re examining Garrido’s house for evidence of murdered hookers...God knows what he might have involved her in.
[After the campus security officer asked for his ID, she ran a background check and discovered that he was on parole. What she didn’t know is that he was a registered sex offender who had kidnapped a woman from South Lake Tahoe in 1976, driven her to a warehouse in Reno, Nevada, and raped her. Garrido and his victim had been found when a patrol officer knocked on the door after seeing a car outside at 2.30am. When Garrido answered, the kidnap victim screamed and the officer walked inside to find pornographic magazines scattered around, a projector, sex toys, a theatrical spotlight, wine and a tub of hot water. ]
Why was Garrido not in jail?!?!?!?!!!
She’ll need more psychological help than anyone can imagine. She has missed a large portion of her life and, sadly, that large block encompasses much of her developmental years.
Sounds fair to me...
The parole officer was surprised to hear about the girls: in spite of repeated visits to Garrido’s home in Antioch, California, the officer had never seen evidence of children.The parole officer is criminally negligent -- and a freaking idiot -- and should be given a job in a laundry. A prison laundry.
Yes, you’re right.
Let the guilt go....Even the probation officer who visited in the house saw nothing suspect.
I just hope that she is able to sell a book or movie rights or something, so that they will be able to live comfortably, afford the very best mental health care, and be able to afford teachers to bring them up to acceptable standards.
AND that the SCUM-BAG rots in hell.
Father God... I pray that you will
restore what the locusts have eaten.
In Jesus name... JO
Hookers or other children?
Except, perhaps, being human.
And that Garrido is forced to transfer the rights to his own memoirs to her.
A note on the article: UC Berkeley has a police department; they are not “security guards.” Plus security guards can’t run people out for wants/warrants/probation/parole checks.
Just very sloppy journalism in an otherwise interesting article.
The police officer is to be commended.
