I have never posted before but am a longtime reader. I wanted to mention that Garrido used a stun gun to subdue Jaycee. This is significant information, IMO.

Welcome TheBird! Glad you have started posting.
Isn't it odd. PG and NG were both present, yet PG felt it necessary to use a stun gun to control Jaycee. Or was that part of his fantasy? Or did he just enjoy giving the pain?

The report is that Nancy pulled Jaycee into the car while Phil was at the wheel.
According to the Reno Gazette story about yesterday's hearing, “It was also learned that a stun gun was used to subdue the victim at the time of the kidnap.”
Does it say anywhere who used the stun gun? Him or her? (or, both :mad:)?
If we take into account attorney Michael Cardoza's 3rd party statement that Jaycee was held down in the back seat all the way from S. Lake Tahoe to Antioch, it could mean that Nancy was in the back seat with her and used the stun gun to control Jaycee.

This is the first that I heard of a stunt gun.
But that picture in the tent with some chain hanging on the wall flipped me out enough.
I hope some one in jail will give him a good B job and tear it out of its socket....

Nancy isn't a large woman and I imagine it would have been hard for her to control Jaycee by herself. I've wondered how Nancy was able to get Jaycee in the car by herself. They may have learned from past experiences.
I heard she was on the floorboard, but I don't remember it being reported that she was in the back seat.

Amazing first post. Welcome to WS!
It is significant information and probably came from Jaycee. Looking forward to your input and contributions on the board.

And that's the problem with all these news stories ~ they confuse and report different details :waitasec:.
One detail that is consistent, is that they pulled Jaycee into the car and kept her down. Maybe on the floorboard in the passenger well, maybe in the back seat; however, both scenarios lead to Nancy controlling her, probably with the stun gun.
This is an example of why I use the word "reportedly" a lot, lol.

The use of a stun gun is a surprise! That may be how they kidnapped other victims. That part.........the possibility of other victims........I'm not surprised about. It would be a surprise to learn there weren't other victims. Perps like PG always have more than one victim.
We learned last week that Jaycee returned to the Garrido house accompanied by LE and with a psychologist with her, in an effort for LE to learn what happened and where it happened.
Now, this week we learn that stun gun was used, and there's a massive investigation involving 60 investigators going through the Garrido property and the property next door.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Jaycee provided LE with a lot of useful information that they're now acting on......hence the new search.

I fear we have not heard the end of the pain this young woman had to endure. I find it so unfair that the criminals that prey on our most innocent and vulnerable loved ones are the most protected when they are behind bars. I am sure he is in solitary confinement, kept away from the prisons general population. Is this truly justice for victims?

Welcome, SunnieRN!
I agree completely with your post.
It hurts to think about how vulnerable and violated the victims of pedophiles are, yet when the pedophile himself is finally 'captured and caged', he is given every protection against bodily harm available.
You are right, it really is unfair.

The old testament says an eye for an eye, but as Christians we do as Jesus taught us, which is to turn the other cheek and show mercy. That is what makes us different from him, we are not animals. It is not our place to extract vengeance, what we do need to do is ensure that people like him don't hurt anyone else, and that is what prison is for. Turning him over to other animals like him, knowing what they would do, would make us no better than him.

I guess my thinking is more in line with the Christians of ancient times:
I say throw him to the lions.
(By the way, although I am, and you are, not every member of WS is a Christian. We have members here of probably every faith.
Even though both of us view ourselves as Christians, we are on opposite ends of the spectrum on this issue. Therefore, I don't believe religion has anything to do with it).

The only problem i have is that we wouldnt even be discussing this if the courts had just KEEP him in jail. . Didnt someone tell the second victim that they knew he would offend again, but they let him out anyway to do all this to so many women and children. The prison only works if they keep him locked up, its to late for that now. Just having a PO is not enough as we can see now! Either lock them up for good or at least castrate them imo.

Hi there,
Same as the person who started this thread I have been reading all the posts since this started.
The first I heard about a stun gun was 1.00am Tuesday (15 Sept) morning local time here in the UK on the BBC radio 5 Live news.
I almost made a post then but thought I'd google a bit. I couldn't find much but came up with something.
Go to the 5th comment on the linked page posted by 'bellava' on the 29th August.
She/he (?) mentions an article that details it which I haven't looked for yet. I assume it's on the same web site. Maybe one of you can find it.
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7ab_1251559707&c=1
I would like to ask about a .pdf which was linked to in another thread which was closed. Not actually locked but the thread got to long. I can't remember off-hand the date when all this came to light but it seems it was linked to just before. 25th August.
Should I make a new thread?

I heard she was on the floorboard, but I don't remember it being reported that she was in the back seat.
She was an 11 year old girl against two adults. Not all kids, but most kids once in the car might feebly struggle but would be more likely to just cry and try to squirm as far away from them as possible. PG used a knife threats, binding and hitting to control the adult victim, and he was alone.
Some offenders will put the kids in the trunk. Some will tie them up or use tape. But PG used a stun gun. Either in his hands or hers. Maybe this is just because I see PG as a sexual sadist. But a shock from a stun gun is painful and would be extremely scary to anyone, let alone an 11 year old girl. Back then not many people knew about stun guns. I am seeing this as a part of the pain he craved, it excited him. And if NG was the one who did it, then that may mean that her involvement was part of the fantasy. His woman causing pain to his captive. If that was so then I think we will probably see more about NG being involved later.
The old testament says an eye for an eye, but as Christians we do as Jesus taught us, which is to turn the other cheek and show mercy. That is what makes us different from him, we are not animals. It is not our place to extract vengeance, what we do need to do is ensure that people like him don't hurt anyone else, and that is what prison is for. Turning him over to other animals like him, knowing what they would do, would make us no better than him.
i would agree with you if the prisons held prisoners for at least the term of their sentence. this would not have happened to Jaycee if Garrido had served the fifty year sentence he was given. i do not believe that people like him should be given special protections in prison either, and that does not make me like him. i won't even go into the religion discussion.....
i don't like to see these kinds of details come out, but at least it will hopefully give people a little insight into how extremely terrifying it must have been for her and stop asking the ridiculous question of "why didn't she just run away". (not referring to people here, of course). from the moment they took her, the very moment, they began to instill that fear and exhibit massive control over her.

ALL the Bibles to my understanding DO have a place where they say, kill your enemy.
That is very different from vengeance. Humanity can turn the other cheek and show mercy when appropriate.
BUT the bible also said: Do not cast your pearl before swine which can sometimes mean.....Save your wisdom for those who can hear; or it can mean don't send your children out when danger is lurking, that means since Children have a right to play...You get rid of the danger.
PG is danger lurking....He needs to be contained. Prison is one way, death is another.
As a tax paying citizen I am not eager to feed that SOB.

(above "turn the other cheek" bbm)
Just thought I'd toss this in there -- the term "turn the other cheek" as is used in the Bible does not mean "to look the other way" when someone hurts us (which would be showing mercy), but, literally, to turn the other cheek, and let them slap us there, as well. Kind of like, if a man wants your pants, give him your shirt, too. Just trying to put the passage in the correct context. It's not really about "not" extracting vengence, but it "is" about keeping the peace.
Here's the passage, in it's entirety:
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also; and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well; and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." (Matthew 5:38:45 RSV)

"When she was discovered last month, Dugard "advised detectives that she had been kidnapped by the Garridos and kept at their home in Antioch, California, during the entire 18 years," Deputy District Attorney Trish Killiher said in a motion supporting their no bail status.
"In addition, the victim reported having been sexually assaulted on multiple occasions," Killiher said. "It was also learned that a stun gun was used to subdue the victim at the time of the kidnap."

You are right, it really is unfair.
He's going to get the best lawyers our taxpayer money can buy, three squares a day, free medical and dental care for the rest of his life, and the justice system will basically bend over backwards to cater to his every whim during the lengthy appeals process.
In an earlier age he would have been taken out and shot, and never talked about again. Those almost seem like the good old days to me now.

LE responded to the area, but the car was never found. IF that car was the Garrido's and if a child were laying quietly on the backseat, the poor little angel was probably unconscious or too terrified of being zapped again to move.

Before she can scream I think he wanted her to know who is boss. He took instant control
and as Jaycees step dad had said, (not quoting him) she was a very sweet, and good girl,
the kind that never gave anyone any trouble, which is what probably kept her alive.
S0... if he used that gun immediately Jaycee probably cooperated out of fear and out of her character.
And perhaps it did save her life, and perhaps he used it on other occasions, if she ever disagreed.
Perhaps other young girls were more feisty and found their demise, I would not be surprised at all if
some other girls show up dead, but I also would not be surprised if Jaycee does NOT know anything
about them, even if she met them. I doubt that PG would let her know anything. He had her controlled from the first few minutes. THAT IN ITSELF is a huge tauma. This poor girl has had so much to deal with
She had to freez a part of herself to survive. It will take time for her to peal away the vail of defensive protection that saved her, and find herself within this amazing tale of courage and tell her story.
I am sure that LE will be asking her all the questions, but, but, but, she may still be in fear to
answer all, or even remember.. It takes time to get fear out of the body enough to even recall the
things that actually happened early on. A childhood lost :(
....she is a hero. :)

More than you wanted to know about stun guns. They weren't very reliable IIRC (think Rodney King).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taser
History
Jack Cover, a NASA researcher, began developing the Taser in 1969.[13] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taser#cite_note-12) By 1974, Cover had completed the device, which he named after his childhood hero Tom Swift. The Taser Public Defender used gunpowder as its propellant, which led the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bureau_of_Alcohol,_Tobacco_and_Firearms) to classify it as a firearm in 1976.[11] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taser#cite_note-stunning_revelations-10)[14] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taser#cite_note-CPSC_236-13) In 1991, a Taser supplied by Tasertron to the Los Angeles Police Department failed to subdue Rodney King. Its lack of effectiveness was blamed on a faulty battery.[15] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taser#cite_note-NYTimes_2003_X26-14)
Taser International CEO Rick Smith has testified in a Taser-related lawsuit that the catalyst for the development of the device was the "shooting death of two of his high school acquaintances" by a "guy with a legally licensed gun who lost his temper."[16] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taser#cite_note-15) In 1993, Rick Smith and his brother Tim began to investigate what they called "safer use of force option[s] for citizens and law enforcement." At their Scottsdale, Arizona (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottsdale,_Arizona) facilities, the brothers worked with the "... original TASER inventor, Jack Cover" to develop a "non-firearm TASER electronic control device."[17] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taser#cite_note-16) The 1994 AIR TASER Model 34000 had an "anti-felon identification (AFID) system" to prevent the likelihood that the device would be used by criminals; upon use, it released many small pieces of paper containing the serial number of the Taser device. The US firearms regulator, the ATF, stated that the AIR TASER was not a firearm. In 1999, Taser International developed an "ergonomically handgun shaped device called the ADVANCED TASER M-series systems" which used a "patented neuromuscular incapacitation (NMI) technology." In May 2003, Taser International released a new weapon called the TASER X26, which used "Shaped Pulse Technology." On July 27, 2009 Taser International relasead a new type of taser called the X3 which has three shots per cartridge.

It is amongst many, many other photos from entirely credible sources. You've probably seen many of the photos, or similar shots of the Garrido's yard elsewhere. It's worth looking at the photos -- the one of the teddy bear on the trampoline, with a kiddie trike below on the ground near a mound of trash, is to me an extraordinary document, just heartbreaking.
I find no reason to believe that this is NOT Garrido's home, as 2 different sources, one in California, have similar photos.

kgeaux you are quite right to use a pound or two of salt and then some.
As I said in my first post on the first page of this thread I have been reading all the posts here since this started. I'm English. I have been appalled and at the same time not surprised by the UK press.
Without having a quick check I seem to remember the name of the photographer is Nick Kent. I think there was more than one newspaper involved. I guess he works freelance.
Same the other day with the Oprah thing claimed by The Daily Mirror. A tabloid if I ever saw one. As soon as I read it I thought bs.
I don't know how it works in other countries but here it's a culture of the newspaper weighing up the sales of the newspaper compared to court costs which may be incurred. Obviously this leads generally to these tabloids just not caring what they say.
I read recently how in the Austrian Fritzl case a British photographer got into a kitchen where Elizabeth was.
The only time the UK press seemed to 'keep a low profile' for a while was after Princess Di's death.

I found the link I talked about in the first post on the first page.
However my html skills are lacking.
The page has a video and some text. The text is what I want to talk about.
If I link to this page it justs embeds the video which is not what I want.
If I don't use any html tags it still embeds the video. So I can't even just type out the address for you to copy and paste.
Anyway.
This page is set up the same as a lot of sites like Youtube with a video and a bit of text that usually ends with the hyperlink 'more' as it's just a part of the text and you click 'more' for all the text.
So if I click 'more' for the complete text near the end is this:
"New details emerged in court papers today about Jaycee's ordeal. It was alleged in the documents that a stun gun was used to subdue the girl when she was grabbed off the street."
Dated 29th August. I guess a lot of us missed it at the time. Strange how similar it looks to what I read on Monday just gone (14th Sept.)
If anybody wants to read it I can embed the video. On my PC if I double-click the video it takes me to the right page.
Or try from this page, for me the 5th video from the top, the video is called:
'Cops Apologize for Missing Chance to Rescue Jaycee Dugard in 2006'.
