At the heart of this inquiry lies the nature of the community where Garrido chose to make his home after serving just 11 years of a 50-year sentence for a previous sex attack. For contrary to initial reports, this is far from being mainstream, middle-class, suburban America.
Together with his new wife, Nancy, whom he had met while she was visiting her uncle in jail, Garrido settled in a crime-ridden backwater where nobody pries into anyone else's business - unless they are willing to pay the price.
'The people here are like hillbillies,' says one local film-maker. 'They are all shady and want peace to do what they do. You're liable to get shot if you go into someone else's yard.'
Mr Rogers says 'perverts' in the area were regularly invited over by Garrido for sex, beer and drug parties and that the Garrido home was, in effect, being used as a brothel.
He watched groups of men arriving at the house on hot summer nights. They carried crates of beer. Mainly of Mexican appearance, they lit bonfires, played music and shouted and laughed late into the night.
They also took it in turns to enter a tent erected amid the junk in Garrido's backyard. 'I saw them entering the tent one by one,' he says. 'I saw them bobbing up and down and I thought, "My God, there is something sexual going on in there".'
Once, he peeped through a crack in the fence separating their land. 'These guys were unsavoury looking men,' he says.
'They were drinking beer and smashing the bottles on the ground. I thought they had a prostitute or something in there. I thought it might have been some kind of sex party or something. It happened quite often. They were different men each time.'

Once more the clearest view of an embarrassing trouble spot in America comes from overseas.
where everybody minds their own business.... cna somebody tell me what’s wrong with that?
Excuse me?!?
Don't dare go comparing these evil hell spawn to hillbillies.
I’m noticing a trend of that...say for the last 9 - 10 months or so.
Sex den: The Garridos' neighbour Mike Rogers saw men troop into a tent in their backyard one after another

Gives a whole to new meaning to Mr. Rogers' neighborhood.
My heart goes out to Jaycee and her two children. They're forever scared and traumatized. Maybe beyond repair.
Won’t you be... won’t you please... won’t you be my neighbor!
Well, for openers , it should be “where everyone minds HIS own business......”
They know no more about hillbillies than the Beverly Hillbillies.
Because you wind up compared to “shady hillbillies”, that’s why.

my thought exactly,
most ‘hillbillies’ would shoot or castrate him.
Or “his or her” — the standard dictionaries still have not endorsed the number-conflicting PC “their.”
But if this neighborhood lives up to its reputation it might as well be “HIS” — what woman would buy a property in this nest of male molesters?
Hillbillies are not trash! Some of the best art and literature has come from hillbillies.
I figured the area was dopersville after seeing a resident interviewed who was shy a couple of teeth “here and thare.”
when I retire, I’m going where everybody minds their own business. I intend to mind mine, and keep my overeducated nose otu of everybody else’s lives.
the best was to get along, is to leave alone.
Seriously, my paternal gramma *was* exactly like “Granny” and as a kid, everybody called me “Ellie May” because of all the critters I usually had trailing along behind me...:))
“Hillbillies are not trash! “
Did I say they were?
Did you know that porcupines will ~totally~ erase any evidence of bones?
I’m just sayin’.....;]
"Astonishingly, the area is home to 144 rapists and paedophiles."
Things have changed much from yesteryear. In the 50s and 60s people knew most of their neighbors (but didn’t pry too much). If something really odd happened — like the killing of a pet — everyone soon knew. Now you could probably get your wish by moving into any American suburb where there is no home owners’ association.
