Early Years

Garrido born April 5, 1951, in Pittsburg, the 2nd child of Patricia and Manuel of Brentwood.

Public records show Nancy Garrido (nee Bocanegra) was born in Texas in 1955., possibly July 18.

Garrido's brother told the SF Chronicle that the brothers grew up in Brentwood with their parents. He said their childhood was relatively unremarkable.

Garrido's motorcycle accident was in 1968 according to his father.

Garrido admitted that starting in 1968 he hung around schools and pleasured himself while "watching young females" aged 7 - 10.

Garrido's brother said Phillip Garrido began acting out, using LSD and dealing drugs.

Garrido attended Liberty Union High School in Brentwood, CA (years ? to ?). He would have graduated in 1969, but it is unclear if he did.

Garrido arrested in 1969 for possession of marijuana and LSD and sent to CCCSO's Marsh Creek Detention Facility in Clayton. We don't know yet how long he was there.


1970's

Garrido's brother said Phillip left California after learning that fellow drug dealers “had a contract out on him.” Relatives said Garrido moved to Reno when he was about 19 years old. QUESTION: Are there records to confirm this?

Donna Ann Lass, age 26, South Lake Tahoe, September 6, 1970 (not found)

Garrido's parents, Patricia L. (Smith) and Manuel Garrido, divorce January 1971.

Christine Marie Eastin, age 19, Hayward, 1/18/1971 (not found)

In 1972, Garrido picked up two 14-year old girls from the Antioch Public Library, 501 W. 18th Street, Antioch, took them on a joyride, gave them drugs, reportedly took them to his house where he had a shed. He took one of the girls to the rural Riverview Motel, 3120 E. 18th St, Antioch, where she was repeatedly sexually assaulted. Garrido was charged. However, the prosecution was dropped when the young victim refused to testify. Incidentally, the Antioch Library is directly across the street from what was then known as Antioch Junior High (now Antioch Middle School), down the street from Antioch Senior High (now Antioch High School), and very near Fremont Elementary and Marsh Elementary schools.

Anna Christian Waters, age 5, rural San Mateo County, 1/16/1973 (not found)

Garrido marries his first wife 3/11/1973 in Nevada. She was 19. She told Inside Edition that while the two were dating, Garrido was accused of raping a teenager. At the time, she said, she believed her high school sweetheart when he told her the girl was lying.

QUESTION: where was Garrido living 1973 - 1976. Was he living in Reno this entire time? (If so, do we want to include related Reno area cold cases for this period?).

Tracy Lynn Davenport, age 6, San Rafael, 4/27/1973 (not found)

Corinne June Groenenberg, age 14, Modesto, 11/1/73 (not found)

Lulaida Morales Sejalbo, age 17, Santa Clara, 11/25/1973 (not found)

Court documents show Garrido was living on Market Street in Reno in 1976.

Garrido kidnapped a 25 year old woman in South Lake Tahoe 11/22/1976 and took her to Reno (across state lines making it a federal case). She was held over 8 hours before police found Garrido sexually assaulting the victim in a storage unit in the 3000 block of Mill Street at 2:30 am., November 23, 1976.

Prior to kidnapping this victim, he attempted the kidnap of another woman in South Lake Tahoe that same evening.

Garrido is declared competent to stand trial 12/15/1976.

Neurological tests determine no hard evidence of brain damage 1/6/1977.

Garrido met 2nd wife Nancy while he was in prison at Levenworth.

Garrido's mother re-married in 1978.

Garrido's mother and step-father purchase the home at 1554 Walnut Avenue, Antioch, 7/20/1979, per County records.


1980's

Public records show Nancy Garrido (nee Bocanegra) eventually moved from (area unknown), Texas and at some point lived in New York City. She was living in Denver when she went to visit an uncle imprisoned at Levenworth. It was there she met fellow prisoner Phillip Garrido.

Garrido marries Nancy Bocanegra 10/4/1981 while incarcerated at Levenworth. It is not yet known how long they "dated" prior to being wed by the prison chaplain.

Nancy moved to Levenworth (date unknown); Phil served another 7 years of his sentence.

QUESTION: The executive director of Contra Costa ARC said that when Nancy applied for a position as a CNA in 1994, she arrived with "a stellar resume dating back to 1981, with gushing recommendations". What is Nancy's actual employment history???

Garrido incarcerated 6/30/1977 through 8/26/1988 (intentionally repeated).

Garrido released to parole from the Nevada Department of Corrections on August 26, 1988. He was on federal parole supervision and Nevada parole supervision in the state of California. He was paroled to live in Antioch, California. (Source: Nevada Department of Corrections, Nevada Department of Public Safety) Note: this conflicts with the following information that he was paroled to a hallway house in Oakland, which came from various news sources:

Garrido paroled to an Oakland halfway house 8/26/1988.

Garrido left the Oakland halfway house and went to Lake Tahoe in November 1988; he went to the roulette table where his 1976 victim was working and greeted her by name.

Question: how long was Garrido living at halfway house in Oakland? Where did he go from there? What kind of transportation was he using? For example, how did he get to South Lake Tahoe in November 1988. When did he return to living in Antioch?

Shantelle Hudson, 16, Dayton, NV, November 14, 1988 (not found). Dayton is about 40+/- miles SE of Reno.

Michaela Garecht, 9, Hayward, November 19, 1988 (not found)

Nancy Garrido became a certified nurse assistant in 1989, according to California Department of Public Health records.

Phil and Nancy Garrido settle into his mother's home at 1554 Walnut Avenue, Antioch, sometime after his release from the Oakland halfway house. Did they come to live in Antioch in late 1988? 1989? 1990? or early 1991? Where were they living around this time?

Jaycee Lee Dugard, age 11, is kidnapped from the South Lake Tahoe area, June 10, 1991. She was found 18 years later being held captive by the Garridos along with her two daughters. Police say Nancy pulled Jaycee Lee Dugard into the car while Phil Garrido drove.

One of Garrido's neighbors said he met Jaycee through the fence in the summer of 1991. Shortly after that, the neighbor said Garrido heightened the fence, preventing further communication.

Jaycee's case is featured on "America's Most Wanted" 6/14/1991.

Garrido had another brush with law enforcement which resulted in him being taken in for a parole violation (rumored drug possession) in April 1993. According to Cranston Mitchell of the U.S. Parole Commission, Garrido violated parole twice; Mitchell characterized the violations as "minor offenses".

Question: when did Garrido start his Printing For Less business? Many customers have recently said they have done business with him more than 10 years, or at least 1998-99. This includes the recyling center on Loveridge Road near where several of the following victims were found.

Lisa Norrell, age 15, Pittsburg, disappeared November 06, 1998, after she left an event at the former IDES Hall, 111 W. 10th Street, Antioch. Her black shoes were found on the Pittsburg-Antioch Highway the next morning while her body was found 8 days later on the same road, near (the former) Nav-Let's Garden Center, Pittsburg. Coroner's report said Lisa died from asphyxia; other details were withheld. However, this article reveals Lisa might have been strangled with a cord or rope.

Note: November 19, 1998: Police received a report of an attempted kidnapping on E. 18th St. just west of Hillcrest Ave., in Antioch. Man tries to pull women from sidewalk into the bushes. I'm including this here because this is a short distance from Walnut Avenue and might be relevant.

Harbor Street in Pittsburg down the road from Old Highway 4 where Lisa was found) (map of approximate location Jessica was found is based on my memory of the crime).

On June 8, 1999, the California Department of Corrections begins parole supervision of Garrido, who is on lifetime parole in Nevada, under the terms of the Interstate Compact.
