During his 1977 kidnapping trial, Phillip Garrido also said he leered at girls as young as seven and 10, and he admitted to exposing himself to some of them.

He testified that LSD and cocaine acted as sexual stimulants, and that he frequently masturbated and often in public places including the “side of schools, grammar schools and high schools, in my own car while I was watching young females.”

The portrait of the 58-year-old Garrido comes from trial transcripts and a psychiatric report from unrelated case files made public Monday, as well as TV interviews broadcast Tuesday. In that case, Garrido was convicted in Reno, Nevada, of kidnapping a stranger. He later admitted to raping her in a rented storage unit described by investigators as a “sex palace” with items for playing out his sexual fantasies.

Garrido and his wife Nancy are being held in El Dorado County on charges that they kidnapped and raped Dugard, then held her captive at their Antioch home for the past 18 years even as parole officers and police occassionally turned up at his house.

Other women have reported violent attacks in the past. Garrido’s ex-wife and high school sweetheart, Christine Murphy, said he went into a jealous rage once when he saw a man flirting with her.

“He took a safety pin and went after my eyes,” Christine Murphy told the TV show “Inside Edition.” “He left a scar on my face.”

In the kidnapping trial from more than three decades ago, Garrido admitted to abducting and raping the woman he was accused of kidnapping, saying: “I have had this fantasy, and this sexual thing that has overcome me.”

He testified that he did not think what he did was wrong.

“I had this fantasy that was driving me to do this, inside of me; something that was making me want to do it without — no way to stop it,” he said.

The victim testified that Garrido also discussed his sexual fantasies while driving her to the storage area, where he assaulted her for more than five hours until a police officer knocked on the unit’s door after becoming suspicious of the victim’s car parked nearby.

She said she was taking dinner to her boyfriend’s house when Garrido tapped on her window as she was pulling out of a food market and told her his car broke down. He asked for a ride and attacked her shortly afterward, handcuffing and binding her before driving her to his storage unit.

“He slammed my head into the steering wheel. He grabbed my keys and threw them onto the floor,” Katie Callaway Hall said on ABC’s “Good Morning America Tuesday.

Hall said Garrido handcuffed her, tied her head to her knees and took her to a warehouse storage shed filled with pornography, sex toys and a mattress.

The Associated Press does not usually identify victims of rape, but Hall has given public interviews allowing herself to be identified.

The prosecutor, outside the presence of the jury, told the court that Garrido was suspected of attempting to kidnap another woman an hour before he succeeded. That woman escaped, according to the prosecutor.

Garrido served 10 years in a federal prison before being granted parole. He then served seven months for the rape conviction in a Nevada prison before being granted an early release in August 1988. Less than three years later, he allegedly kidnapped Dugard in 1991 when she was 11.

He was returned to prison in April 1993 for an undisclosed parole violation and was released again four months later.

The court documents come from his testimony on Feb. 10, 1977, after a judge turned down his attorney’s bid to declare him insane because of his heavy drug use.

Dr. Lynn Gerow, a court-appointed psychiatrist examined him in December 1976 and found him competent to stand trial. His three-page report to the judge described Garrido as tall, thin and “unkempt.”

Gerow said Garrido was the second of two siblings, reported emotional conflict with his parents in his formative years, and later worked on and off as a musician and increasingly abused drugs, including LSD. He was married at the time to a casino dealer.

“He was preoccupied with the idea of sex and admitted to a history of several sexual disorders,” the doctor said, adding that he believed Garrido suffered from “a mixed sexual deviation and chronic drug abuse.”

“The latter may be responsible in part for the former,” he said.

In a neurological report on Jan. 6, 1977, Dr. Albert F. Peterman found no hard evidence of brain damage.

“LSD made him quite aggressive, which he realizes,” the doctor noted. “He had used LSD prior to his alleged offense, but remembers the details of the abduction and sexual activity quite well.”

The doctor said Garrido had appropriate concern about his criminal case. “He states that he is looking forward to going to court, and has found religion and feels his life will change for the better.”

Shortly before Garrido took the witness stand in his trial, the prosecutor told the judge, “We think by pointing to and questioning the defendant about prior specific acts prior to this incident, we can show he is following a pattern of attempting to kidnap and attempting to, and raping, other women.” He did not elaborate.

Garrido was 25 and described himself as “very happily” married at the time. “She is beautiful,” he said of his wife.

He said he started using marijuana and LSD within a month of high school graduation and that he was arrested in 1969 for drug use. He said he also used cocaine and other “uppers and downers.”

He said he did not believe he was harming his victim, even though he handcuffed her, bound her and taped her mouth shut before raping her.

“I don’t go breaking into people’s houses,” he said. “I don’t go to hurt anybody.”

He said he was working with a minister in jail “getting close to God.” He told his own attorney that before finding God, “I couldn’t feel shame,” for the rape. “I didn’t even realize the reality of shame for what I was doing.”

He talked briefly about his upbringing, testifying that his parents never beat him and stopped disciplining him after he turned 10.

“My father never did take any restrictions of beating me or disciplining me, and my mother spoiled me,” he said.

Hall, Garrido’s former victim, told ABC that with Garrido behind bars again, she can live her life without fear.

Her advice in Dugard’s case: “Let her cry, let her talk. It’s going to be a long road.”

JAYCEE LEE DUGARD
Case Type: Non Family Abduction
DOB: May 3, 1980
Sex: Female
Missing Date: Jun 10, 1991

EL DORADO COUNTY, CA – The stepfather of Jaycee Dugard, the South Lake Tahoe 11-year-old girl abducted from in 1991, told News10 Wednesday night that family members believe authorities have found the now 29-year-old Jaycee, alive.

“It’s an absolute miracle if it is her…can you imagine this after 18 years?,” Probyn said in a telephone interview.

The amazing news of Dugard’s return came after a Concord police officer confirmed to News10 that local agencies were investigating the claims of a woman who allegedly walked into a Contra Costa County law enforcement office Wednesday and said she was kidnapped 18 years ago.

An FBI agent leaving Concord Police headquarters Wednesday night said the Bureau was involved in the case, but would not comment on any details of the investigation.

“There will be a press conference tomorrow,” the unidentified agent told reporters. “We’re working it.”

The El Dorado County Sheriff’s Department is planning to hold a news conference Thursday at 3 p.m. to discuss the case. News10.net will provide a stream of the news conference live.

Probyn, a contractor who now lives in the southern California community of Orange, said Jaycee’s mother Terry received a call at her job with the Riverside School District from the FBI Wednesday afternoon.

Probyn said the agent on the phone identified himself and said, “We’ve got Jaycee.” Terry then had a phone conversation with the woman authorities believed to be her long-lost daughter, a conversation that left Terry “positive” that Jaycee was home, Probyn said.

He said his wife thought Jaycee sounded normal and not like she was mistreated over the last 18 years. Terry said that “(Jaycee) remembered a lot,” according to Probyn, who was in “complete shock that (Jaycee) is alive.”

Terry Probyn told Carl that the FBI didn’t get into where Jaycee was or who she was with for the past 18 years, but said “she was with some people and…they are in custody.” Probyn said he had no idea about the identity of those “people.”

“I told my wife I want those responsible to be taken down, no deals at all,” Probyn said.

Dugard was just 11 years old when she was last seen just 150 yards away from her home as she walked to her bus stop in South Lake Tahoe around 8:05 a.m. on June 10, 1991.

Carl Probyn said from inside his home, he saw a man and a woman in a two-tone gray, late-model sedan make a U-turn on Washeon Boulevard, then saw the woman in the car grab Jaycee and pull her inside.

Investigators at the time believed Dugard may have been taken across state lines into Nevada after her abduction. Despite at least one alleged sighting immediately following her disappearance, Dugard was not seen again — until Wednesday.

Of the past two decades since Jaycee’s disappearance, Probyn said, “It’s like having heart surgery and not being sewn up. Your heart just aches.”

Carl Probyn said the stress, pain and trauma of Jaycee’s abduction destroyed the Probyns’ marriage. The pair are separated, but Probyn said they remain friends, living 40 miles apart.

Probyn said Terry and the couple’s 19-year-old daughter Shayna were flying to northern California Thursday morning to reunite with Jaycee.

Along Washeon Boulevard Wednesday night, South Lake Tahoe residents who heard about the developments in the case were hopeful these latest events would bring closure to 18 years of unanswered questions.

“I remember my sister was in (Jaycee’s) class in the fifth grade when it happened,” said resident Sara Esposito. “I’m just blown away.”

David Watkins, who bought Jaycee Dugard’s family home on Washeon in 1998, said the spectre of Jaycee’s disappearance still lingers in the neighborhood.

“You hear about it every year. Someone says something…’What happened to her? What’s going on with her?,’” Watkins said. “Maybe it’ll put an end to everything finally.”
