Jaycee Lee Dugard Abductor Phillip Garrido 'Wanted Cute Blond Girl'

Jaycee Lee Dugard Abductor Phillip Garrido 'Wanted Cute Blond Girl'

Phillip Garrido selected the pretty blond girl with the gap-toothed grin as his prey during a "child shopping" trip because she looked "cute" , his wife Nancy has told investigators in California.

But the couple decided not to try and snatch 11-year-old Jaycee Dugard that day in June 1991 because she was walking through South Lake Tahoe with a bunch of school friends. Instead, they apparently trailed her to her home before returning the next morning to complete their horrific mission. Mrs Garrido allegedly jumped out of their car and grabbed her as she walked to nearby a bus-stop, while her husband remained behind the wheel.

She has described the chilling precision that went into the abduction as prosecutors put together the case for multiple charge of kidnapping and rape against the husband and wife. "That's the one I want," Garrido told her when he saw Jaycee in the resort town. "She's cute, but she's with the other kids. Let's come back later and get her."

Michael Cardoza, a Californian attorney and former prosecutor, relayed his coldly calculating words to The Sunday Telegraph after being briefed on Mrs Garrido's testimony by law enforcement contacts. Another source close to the investigation has confirmed that was her account.

"This was nothing less than a child shopping trip," said Mr Cardoza. "It just makes their actions all the more horrendous and reprehensible." The disturbing revelation will further fuel the anguished debate in California about the state's child protection laws, which effectively encourages scores of former sex offenders to congregate in neighbourhoods - like the outskirts of Antioch - where there is little local government and not much sense of community.

Incredible! - What would make this woman so willing to participate?

I were to ask my wife to do that she’d probably shoot me to put me out of my misery.

I want her to suffer even more than him, and that’s saying a lot because I’ve thought of many miserable ways to punish that scum-bag, but she deserves it in spades!

“The disturbing revelation will further fuel the anguished debate in California about the state’s child protection laws, which effectively encourages scores of former sex offenders to congregate in neighbourhoods - like the outskirts of Antioch - where there is little local government and not much sense of community.”

Are we suggesting that we need MORE GOVERNMENT invlvement in small towns where there IS A SENSE OF COMMUNITY?

If larger towns do so well with GOVERNMENT involvment, then WHY was this CRETIN OUT OF PRISON?

If larger towns do so well with GOVERNMENT involvment, then WHY did the PAROLE OFFICER not SEE the tent city in the backyard?

If larger towns do so well with GOVERNMENT involvment, then WHY was this CRETIN OUT OF PRISON?

If larger towns do so well with GOVERNMENT involvment, then WHY were neighbor complaints about the PERVERT not taken seriously by a LARGE POLICE DEPARTEMNT and SOCIAL SERVICES ?

“It will also add to the frustration across America that so many people who interacted with the Garridos - including police, public officials and close neighbours - failed to grasp what was going on.”

Yeah, what happened?

I don’t know why, but every time I see of photo of Phillip Garrido on the TeeVee - I have theis vision.

Of him with an old time, double headed loggers axe

Buried in his head, about up to the bit.

Dunno know why but, I just do.

Maybe I’m just hoping.

The judicial/criminal justice system let this cretin pedophile out of prison.
They share the blame and shame.
