Details emerge of Phillip Garrido's violent history
Chris Ayres in Los Angeles
Phillip Garrido, the religious zealot who allegedly kidnapped an 11-year-old girl and imprisoned her in his back garden for almost two decades, had previously attempted to gouge out his first wife’s eyeballs with a safety pin, it was claimed last night.
The attack on his wife is one of many new details to emerge about Mr Garrido, known as “Creepy Phil” to his neighbours, raising more questions about why the serial rapist, church founder, business card printer and former LSD dealer had not been brought to justice earlier — or kept in prison for the full 50 years of his 1970s rape sentence.
“He’s a monster,” Christine Murphy, who eloped with Mr Garrido in 1973, said in an interview with CBS’s Inside Edition. She said that she had fallen in love with Mr Garrido at high school — in spite of her sweetheart having been accused of raping a teenage girl.
Not long after they had exchanged wedding vows, Mr Garrido is alleged to have turned violent. “He started to get controlling, he started hitting me,” she said. “He smacked me, he told me to grow up.”

So much for the power of psychics.
Interesting the way they keep trying
to link this monster to the Christian
faith. These days, any idiot can call
themselves “reverend”.
I see him as a would-be cult leader.
Sure, he was many other things and only time will tell what else we don’t yet know, but Jaycee, her two girls and his “wife” were his pawns in the cult.
His undoing was he wanted to broaden the cult’s influence and was reaching out to infect others when his gig was stopped.
And you’re so right...Christianity has NOTHING to do with it.
How true....just look at "reverend" Al & "reverend" jesse jacka$$.
The Evil that lives in this man is plainly visible on his face.
I hate saying this but Jaycee is headed for a crash! I do hope she gets the best therapy available. There is no way anyone could go through what she did - starting at age 11 - and not have deep emotional problems that will manifest some how, now that she is free. I have a problem just reading about it! It is so awful.
Folks have survived worse..... can you say Jews of Germany?
FYI, may her captor die a slow death at Bubba's hands, in prison for the rest of his worthless life.
I see him as a greasy wet spot on the road with a bunch of buzzards.
I still want to know how he got paroled from his original 50 year sentence on a federal kidnapping and rape charge.
How did that come to pass and how come the media isn’t reporting on that?
From HIS perspective, a wanne-be cult leader.
From YOURS (and mine), your description is appropriate.
I heard that the federal laws were updated at some point to where such release on such crimes would not happen. But that way back when he was sentenced to 50 yrs such wasn’t the case. It seems that he had fooled the yokels that let him out that he had “made substantial progress while incarcerated”. Of course we know and many victim’s and families know that these people should never see the light of day again because THEY WILL REPEAT. No guesswork or maybes or maybe nots.
