Human Drama : Aug 25 2009 - Parole officers searches house
Posted by Ballie on 2010/2/18 10:50:00 (19 reads)

More details from googlemap

In this section, our narratives focused on the drama that was to take place at the parole office in Concord, California. We explore the sexual dynamics in the Garrido’s household. For many years now till August 2009, Phillip Garrido had 2 wives. Nancy Garrido lived in the front house. In the back garden, the young 'wife' Alyssa had her tent. It was an alibi constructed by Phillip and Nancy Garrido as part of the 'Alyssa' identity. For here during the day, Alyssa played the part of 'older' sister to Angel and Starlit (Scarlett?). At night, she was Phillip Garrido's sex partner. For most nights, Phillip Garrido slept with her in the 'family' tent after the 2 girls are put to bed in the house with Nancy.

On the previous day, Tues, August 25, Phillip Garrido had travelled to University of California, Berkeley with the 2 girls, Angel and Starlit (Scarlett?). His appointment with the campus police officer Lisa Campbell was at 2 pm. Officer Ally Jacobs had joined in the meeting at the request of Officer Lisa Campbell. The previous day Mon, August 24, Phillip Garrido had turned up at the special event office of Officer Lisa Jacob requesting for permission to hold an event for his religious organisation called God’s Desire. Officer Lisa Campbell had told Phillip Garrido to come back the next day and she had made the appointment for the meeting at 2 pm the next day. After Phillip Garrido left her office with the 2 girls, Officer Lisa Campbell had spoken to Officer Ally Jacobs. Officer Ally Jacobs then carried out a check of Phillip Garrido. She found out that he was sex offender. Officer Ally Jacobs decided to sit in for the interview of Phillip Garrido with Officer Lisa Campbell. The appointment had been made for Tuesday, August 25 at 2 pm.


2 pm, Tues August 25 - Phillip Garrido arrived at the special event office of the University of California, Berkeley with the 2 girls, Angel and Starlit (Scarlett?). In the interview which lasted about 15 min, Officer Ally Jacobs had managed to engage the girls in a conversation while Officer Lisa Campbell talked with Phillip Garrido. Feeling a sense of unease, Officer Ally Jacobs had phoned Phillip Garrido’s parole agent Santos. He was not available to take the call and she had left a message on his voice messaging machine.

According to the officer, Garrido appeared to have a mental illness, and if he was required to take medication, it was apparent he was not. Because of his sex offender status, the officer was also concerned for the safety of the two young girls accompanying Garrido. The officer noted that the girls, who called Garrido “daddy,” and whom Garrido referred to as his daughters, acted as if Garrido’s strange behavior was normal. They had also made reference to an older sister aged 29.


After 3 pm, Tues August 25 - Phillip Garrido left his meeting at the UC Berkeley at probably about 2:15 pm but more likely later. Information from google map indicate that the drive home would have taken about 44 min.

Parole Officers Searched House
That same afternoon, the parole officer, Eddie Santos received the voice message left by Officer Ally Jacobs. He attempted to call her back and was advised by a records technician that she had left for the day. Together with another parole officer, La Grassa, they had gone to Phillip Garrido’s house at 1554 Walnut Avenue, Antioch. They left the office at about 1800 hours. They handcuffed Phillip Garrido and agent La Grassa stayed with Garrido outside the house while agent Santos searched the house but could not find the 2 girls. They found Nancy Garrido and her mother-in-law, Patricia Franzen(Garrido).


Back to the Parole Office
The officers then took Phillip Garrido back to the parole office. According to Google map, the drive would take about 23 minutes from 1554 Walnut Avenue to the parole office in Concord. During the trip, Garrido was adamant that he had done nothing wrong. He told them that the 2 girls were daughters of a relative and one of the parent had picked them up.

At the parole office, agent Santos reviewed Garrido's file. He then contacted G. Sims, Fairfield II U.S. (A) and reviewed Garrido's file with him. Although Garrido had a "no contact with minors" special condition of parole (SCOP), they decided there was no nexus to the SCOP because he had no prior or current convictions for PC288 noted in the field file. The 2 parole officers then drove him back to his Residence of Record (ROR) and instructed to report back the next day (Aug 26 2009) at 0800 hours to discuss this matter and his conditions. He was also instructed to bring all that was living with him.

Back to Walnut Avenue
Taking into consideration the driving time back and forth and the searching of the house and the questioning and reviewing at the parole office, we assumed that it took at least an hour and half.

By the time that Phillip Garrido was returned to his home, it would easily be 7:30 pm.

That evening dinner would have been disrupted. The trip to the University of California, Berkeley had turned into a disaster. It was a trip that he had to do to promote his new church, God's Desire. (Note: God's Desire was incorporated in California on April 24 2008). It was his new venture to sell God. Instead now, the parole officers were onto him. They were now aware of the 2 younger girls.

Since this was a Tuesday, we assumed Alyssa spent the day reading in her tent and gardening . Perhaps she checked the emails for Print for Less from the Personal Computer in the house. On that Tuesday, we believe that she was menstruating. On those day when she was having her period, Phillip Garrido kept his distance from her. Most likely, her period had started the previous Sunday, August 23, when she last slept with him in the air-conditioned shed which also had a TV, VCR, PC and a fish tank. In the photos taken on August 26, the beddings can be seen piled onto of the couch.

When the parole officers turned up at the house, the 2 girls were in the backyard garden with Alyssa or they could have just scooted to the backyard garden on a signal from Phillip or Nancy Garrido. They would have been well-trained on that. Alyssa would have been forewarned of the danger of discovery. Perhaps that evening they stayed in the backyard compound till Phillip Garrido had been returned to the house and the parole officers had left. Since Alyssa was menstruating, Phillip Garrido slept with Nancy in the house. This also contributed to the lack of communication and coordination between Phillip Garrido and Alyssa which set the stage for the discovery of Alyssa's real identity.

Human Drama : Commentary on the Backyard Compound
Posted by Ballie on 2010/2/8 21:30:00 (45 reads)

We have drawn out the whole compound paying in particular, the backyard compound where Alyssa was kept. To see the photos taken by Nick Stern and others, you can go to this page here where you can click on the arrows to see photos of the actual backyard compound and the inside of the tents and sheds.

The drawing is the outcome of analysing those photos and they are accurate to the state of the backyard compound as it was on Aug 26 2009.

None of the structures drawn here exist in the backyard compound anymore as the authorities have dismantled them. The latest google satellite photo shows an empty backyard devoid of any structures. A few trees have been left in place.


Alyssa's Tent
In the drawing shown on the right, Alyssa's tent was located at the top left corner of the backyard compound. This was the furthermost location from the road (Walnut Avenue) at the front of the house. How long has the tent been in that location?

Alyssa's tent was isolated from the rest of the backyard compound. A hedge fence isolated it from the family tent. The 'family tent' was where she lived out the latter years of her captivity as his 'wife'. In other words, she slept with him almost nightly in this tent until about the last month of her captivity. During the last month of her captivity, we believed she slept with Phillip Garrido in the air-conditioned shed due to the summer heat.

Although immediately since her recovery, she has stated to FBI that no sexual activities took place between Phillip Garrido and her after the birth of Starlit (Scarlett?) in November 1997, all evidence from the photos and accounts from the neighbours told a different story.

On the left of Alyssa's tent was the 8 ft fence separating the backyard compound from the neighbor and on the right was the dilapidated shed. And next to the dilapidated shed and by the back fence was the famous 'Welcome' sign hanging from the tree.

In front of the tent, there were 3 foldable chairs where we assumed that Alyssa spend time with Angel and Starlit (Scarlett?). Perhaps this was where they sat to enjoy the sunshine and also where 'big sister' Alyssa read to them and taught them the basics of reading and writing.

The books by the entrance to the tent were largely books on cats. Alyssa had limited education herself and she was in grade 5 when she was kidnapped. That was all she was capable of in terms of educating the girls.

The photo showed the tent as it was on Aug 26 2009. The tent looked tattered and many part of the tent had been patched with brown packaging tape. Part of the back of the tent fly sheeting had been ripped off by the wind. Overall the tent looked tattered. Perhaps it was set up after November 1997 which has been reported to be the birth month of Starlit (Scarlett?). It has been reported that the birth certificate issued for Starlit showed November 1997 to be her birth month. The name on the birth certificate was not reported but we believed that it is Scarlett. Angel was born in April 1994 and we believed her name has remained the same.

By the front of the tent were some plants growing in pots. Alyssa appeared to have taken up gardening and the plants in the pots were perhaps fairly recent plantings.

To the left of the tent and by the fence, there was a 2-person adult swing and a small round table in front of it. Stretched between her tent and the fence was those orange-colored mesh which was quite common around the garden.

This part of the backyard was her comfort zone and she had kept it tidy compare to the rest of the backyard compound which was more like a junk yard. The leaves had been swept into a pile perhaps for burning at a later date.

In the middle of the compound, there was a large dilapidated shed. What was stored in the front half of shed is not known as no photos were taken of it. The back half of it were full of junk including a pumpkin head. The back wall of this shed bordered another neighbor's yard. The back half of this shed had a dilapidated wooden wall only on one side facing one of the neighbours, Mike Rogers. The other side facing Alyssa tent did not have a wall and that was how Mike Rogers could observed the activities on this part of the backyard.

According to the neighbor Mike Rogers, over the last 3 years (prior to August 26 2009) period, he saw about 8-10 of these parties held in that backyard compound outside Alyssa's tent. There would be group of 8-10 men who were semi-dressed queuing by the dilapidated shed near the entrance to the tent. They would high-five each other as one exited and another entered the tent. Mike Rogers used his compound for storage and does not live there. The assumption is that these men were queuing outside Alyssa's tent for sex. The Welcome sign hanging from the tree by dilapidated shed near the back fence seemed to confirm his accounts of what he saw. The sign was welcoming customers to that backyard compound. In other words, we think prostitution did take place in that backyard compound.

Click on here to see the inside of Alyssa's tent.


Family Tent
Nancy was Phillip Garrido's legally married wife and Alyssa was forced to live in this tent as his other 'wife'. After her recovery, it was reported that their relationship was 'almost like a marriage' and Jaycee Dugard has strong feelings for Phillip Garrido. We believe that is so as she has conditioned herself to accept her fate and lived out her life as his wife. For this reason, we called this tent the family tent. The only bed in the whole backyard compound was found in this tent.

On the other side of Alyssa's tent was the family tent. This photo of the family tent was taken from location E. Alyssa's tent was hidden from view by this tent and also by a hedge between them. This tent appeared to be in better conditioned than Alyssa's tent perhaps because it was sheltered underneath some trees. Aerial photographs taken by news helicopter did not show the tent to be visible as it was hidden by the dense tree leaves. The older google satellite photo did show the tent. The trees looked barren with a few brown leaves so it is likely they were taken during the colder months.

In the foreground, there was a rectangular wooden structure with the orange mesh stretched across it. Perhaps there was a plan to grow some plants there. Just in front of it, a covered wire mesh can be seen. Perhaps, some tiny plants were growing and had to be protected by the wire mesh.

On the left of the photo was the 8-ft fence separating it from the next door neighbor. By the fence, a big padded garden bench was located. It was big enough and padded like a mattress to accommodate a copulating couple.

On the right, a partially hidden tree and next to it, a broken bar stool with a water bottle on it. On the right of the tent, some bushes had been planted and that would hid part of the tent when viewed further to the right.


Junk tent and Air-conditioned shed
The photo shows the family tent, a tent behind the air-conditioned shed.

This part of the garden was where Alyssa is thought to have been initially incarcerated during the earlier years of her captivity. In particular, the 'tool' shed, air-conditioned shed, the sound-proofed shed and the children's tent were probably the 4 main shelters in the earlier years of her captivity.

This tent looked to be in good condition. Perhaps it was a fairly recent addition. Like all the tents, it probably had wooden pallets for flooring. The blue tarpaulin made up the ground sheeting.

This tent was full of junk and broken female toys without clothes. Presumably the junk like cardboard boxes were kept for bonfire.

This tent was featured in initial news report. On the day this photo was taken (Aug 26 2009), this tent did not look like it was used for anything other than storage.

On the left of the photo and near the entrance to the tent, there appeared to be 2 bins lying on its side. In all the tents and sheds, there were no rubbish bins shown anywhere.


Children's Tent
Visible in the photo are the children's tent hidden under the blue tarp, air-conditioned shed, tool shed and the roof of the sound-proofed shed.

Although this photo was taken on Aug 26 2009, the children's tent was still hidden underneath the blue tarpaulin.

This tent was likely used by the young girls to store their belongings. There were plastic storage dresser and clothings. No beds or beddings could be seen although there was a couch inside and a mattress. Hence the conclusion that they would have been used during the day only. At night, the 2 younger girls slept elsewhere, most likely in the main house. Hence the comment by Phillip Garrido that the girls slept in his arms every night. Quite likely, he meant that he put them to bed every night. And after putting the 2 younger girls in bed in the main house, he retreated back to the backyard compound to spend the night with Alyssa.

They were living as man and 'wife' in that backyard compound. Hence the comment by Alyssa that their relationship was almost like a marriage. Not legally married but sleeping together like a married couple. That comment was to her family meaning her mother Terry Probyn.

In earlier interviews with FBI after her recovery, she has stated that no sexual activity between her and Phillip Garrido took place after the birth of her second child, Starlit (Scarlett?) in November 1997.


Air-Conditioned Shed
This photo of the air-conditioned shed was taken on Aug 26 2009. We think this was the shed that Alyssa and Phillip Garrido slept together during the last month of July-Aug 2009 before her recovery. In the OIG report, it was mentioned that for 32 days from Jul 23 - Aug 23, Phillip Garrido GPS signal was lost for 9 hours or more each night. We speculated that he spent those nights in that air-conditioned shed because of the hot summer nights.


From photos taken showing the inside of the shed, there was folded beddings lying on the couch. We can conclude that the shed was recently used. The question is who was/were using it? Was it Phillip Garrido on his own or was Alyssa with him every night? Or was it the 2 younger girls using the shed?

A likely scenario was that Phillip Garrido put the 2 younger girls to bed in the house every night. Later on, he would returned to the backyard compound and for those 32 nights, slept in the air-conditioned shed. That would explained the loss of the GPS received signal due to signal blockage by the surrounding walls of the air-conditioned shed. Did Alyssa join him in that shed? The more likely answer is yes. By then, after 18 years of captivity, she was living with him as his 'wife'. Hence her comment about their relationship as almost like a marriage.


Workshed/Classroom
This shed probably functioned as a classroom and also as a workshed. Seen in the photo were 2 microwave ovens and also a map hanging from the ceiling. Three chairs, benches and a desk could be seen in the photo. A fluorescent lamp could be seen above the far-end workbench. Another lamp could be seen at the left far-end of the shed. Presumably, the microwave ovens were used to heat up meals. There were no cooking facilities or even a fridge for storing perishables like milk. Some plastic containers rest above the microwave ovens. Also, a storage plastic container is present and rest above the microwave radios.

On the floor were files/folders in its usual disarray just like the rest of the garden.

On the left of the photo were wire mesh baskets hung down from the ceiling. Purpose unknown although those type of wire mesh baskets are popular for storing vegetables like onions, shallots, garlics, spring onions etcetera in the kitchen.

A blue towel was draped over the back of a swivel chair and has a table. A reddish water container sat on one end of the table.

The far-end of the shed led to a doorway. No information on what was at the back of this shed behind that doorway.

We can safely conclude that this shed functions more like an office and classroom in the backyard compound. It was certainly not used for sleeping as the flooring was not carpeting and there was also no bedding seen in the photo.

    Human Drama : The Garrido Household
    Posted by Ballie on 2010/1/18 12:50:00 (53 reads)

    Our narratives in this section focussed on the tanking US economy in 2008 through 2009 and its impact on Print for Less. As far as we know, Print for Less was a sole proprietor business owned solely by Phillip Garrido. Its main business appeared to be largely business cards and flyers.

    With the US economy in trouble and growing unemployment and collapse of many local businesses, Print for Less was also in trouble. With local businesses collapsing, there were less demand for business cards. There were less businesses that needed them and for Garrido's customers, there were less customers that they needed give.

    Phillip Garridos decided to make his move. He was going to sell God. Nancy was trying to sell Phillip Garrido's music on the Internet. Alyssa had the idea that she could be a model. Alyssa who had never left the backyard compound without Phillip Garrido had that idea planted in her. Such was the financial desperation in the Garridos household.

    We believe the appearance of Phillip Garridos at the University of California, Berkeley to request to hold a special event there was his idea of selling God.
