Phillip Garrido Aug 28 (IBNS) What took in his place a “disgusted thing”, says the man who allegedly abducted Jaycee Lee Dugard, the little girl kidnapped nearly two decades ago who was found alive in the US yesterday.

Convicted sex offender Phillip Garrido, 58, is being held for the probing of various kidnapping and sex charges relating to the disappearance of Jaycee Lee Dugard.

She was 11 in 1991 when she was snatched from her school bus stop.

His wife, Nancy Garrido, 54, was also arrested, and authorities have alleged she was with Mr Garrido during the kidnapping in South Lake Tahoe.

Investigators said Garrido allegedly raped Ms Dugard and fathered two children with her, the first when Jaycee was about 14. Along with Dugard, who is now 29, the children, both girls now 11 and 15, were also kept hidden away from the world in the backyard compound of the Garrido house in California.

Garrido, who is on lifetime parole, gave a rambling, sometimes incoherent phone interview to KCRA-TV from the El Dorado County jail yesterday in which he said he had not admitted to a kidnapping and that he had turned his life around since the birth of his first daughter 15 years ago.

“Wait until you hear the story of what took place at this house,” Garrido said. “You are going to be completely impressed. It’s a disgusting thing that took place with me at the beginning. But I turned my life completely around and to be able to understand that, you have to start there.”
