They interviewed a guy whose name I did not catch. He said that many times there were
fires (like campfires) and partying and groups of men in the backyard at the home.
He never reported any of it.

More red flags. Perhaps I've been immersed too much of late in true crime stories, but all I can think of is "sex ring". I hope LE will leave no stone unturned in getting to the truth of this sordid pair and anyone else possibly involved with them.
 
His '70's rape scenario:

The victim told police Garrido handcuffed her, taped her mouth, tied her up and drove to a mini-storage warehouse in Reno.

Garrido then dragged the woman into one of the units, which he'd decked out with rugs on the floor and walls - and equipped with pornographic magazines, a movie projector, marital aids, a spotlight, wine and hot water.

I'd love to know what they are finding in that home. This is one time when Fla. sunshine laws would come in very handy.

Oh my I feel sorry for the officers did you see all the junk around that place they are going to be there for weeks, but your right it would be cool to know.
 
The most recent Associated Press article:

Police review cases for connections to kidnap case

Indicates that the search at the Walnut Avenue home is continuing today (Saturday).

"Police on Saturday searched the home of a California couple charged with kidnapping a little girl 18 years ago looking for evidence linking them to other open cases in the area, including the unsolved murders of prostitutes.

The investigations are "preliminary," said Jimmy Lee, a spokesman for the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department, east of San Francisco Bay. He declined to discuss what cases were being reviewed.

Police in Pittsburg are investigating whether Phillip Garrido, whose home is in nearby Antioch, is linked to several unsolved murders of prostitutes in the early 1990s. Antioch police are also looking into unsolved cases but declined further details.

About a dozen agents scoured the modest house and the acre of land it sat on Saturday afternoon as the temperature soared into triple digits."

The article says that residents on the street and in the neighborhood are complaining about the media circus. I have to say that while I might normally be sympathetic, I don't have a lot of sympathy for those residents at this point. Where have they been for the last eighteen years??? Especially that Mike Rogers dude who told a couple of different media sources yesterday, (and as of last night had NOT talked with law enforcement) "It wouldn't surprise me with the stuff that was going on in the back here, with all the partying, the different groups of people back in the back, the fires all night long, a lot of stuff going on back there," says Mike Rogers, a neighbor.

Rogers would sometimes look through his fence and watch different groups of men carrying on in the backyard. That's where police say Garrido kept Jaycee Dugard and the two kids he fathered with her. He didn't call police, saying he didn't want to seem paranoid. He's glad police are now looking to see if other crimes were committed.

"It's good they're here. They need to get to the bottom of it, the quicker the better," says Rogers. This quote is not from the AP article, its from another article.

He didn't want to seem paranoid???? Good God!!! The guy is not a wimpy looking guy, he looks like a Hell's Angel. And, he's paranoid????

Anyhow, the AP article goes on to say: "Garrido came under suspicion in the unsolved murders of several prostitutes in the 1990s, raising the prospect he was a serial killer as well. Several of the women's bodies — the exact number is not known — were dumped near an industrial park where Garrido worked during the 1990s."
I don't know if that means he is now under suspicion, or that he was under suspicion at the time of the murders.
I am not that impressed with the writing in this AP article. Not enough digging, too many unanswered questions.
 
Has anybody seen news clips of cadaver dogs brought into the backyard?

Interesting. I wonder what that's about? It was his GF who called about the tents in the backyard.

I was wondering if perhaps something might be buried under the trees/shrubs that surrounded the property. And that might have crossed the property lines in some places.
 
Robinson could not be reached after his home was declared a crime scene. He earlier told The Associated Press that Phillip Garrido was the caretaker of the house until Robinson moved there in 2006.

Neighbor Janice Deitrich, 66, also said that Phillip Garrido would visit and help feed an elderly neighbor who lived in the house before Robinson.

Police said the cordoned off property was a crime scene but declined to comment further

This is getting good, actually.
So, Erika used to live next door, with Damon and she is the one that called the Sheriff's Department a couple of years ago.
Haydee who lives next door now, with Damon made a comment about one of the young girls recently, when Philip helped her jump start her car.

This snippet is from the San Francisco Chronicle

"Neighbors of the Garridos on Walnut Avenue - and even some of his own family - considered Phillip Garrido strange as he proselytized to them about his messages from God and kept the females at his house from contact with outsiders.

Erika Pratt, 25, who stayed next door two years ago, said she was continuously "freaked out" by Garrido's behavior and that when she popped her head over the fence she saw his secret compound. There were tents, sheds and pit bulls, she said, and water hoses leading from her house next door."

"He had little girls and women living in that backyard, and they all looked kind of the same," Pratt said. "They never talked, and they kept to themselves."

Pratt said people came and went from the property, but the core group consisted of two girls about 4 years old, one girl about 11, another girl about 15 and a young woman about 25. They were all blond, she said.

Pratt said she had called Contra Costa County sheriff's deputies to investigate, but that officers "told me they couldn't go inside because they didn't have a warrant. So they just told him they'd keep an eye on him."

Police said Thursday that the only people living in the yard when the Garridos were arrested were Dugard and her daughters.
'A blank stare'

Haydee Perry, 35, who lives next door, said that when Phillip Garrido helped her jump-start her car a month ago, he had a young girl clinging to him in a manner that struck her as strange.

"She stayed close to him at all times," Perry said. "It wasn't normal behavior. She had a blank stare on her face. Now it seems like a cry out for help.""

What happened to those other kids then?
 
At the very least, maybe Damon's water bill will go down now.
 
Holy smokes!!!

Remember, the beginning of this thread talked about Lisa Norrell, the murdered 15 year old.

Well, listen to this:

"About a dozen agents scoured the modest house (the neighbor's house) and the acre of land it sits on Saturday afternoon as the temperature soared into triple digits.

“The homicide detective was here this morning,” said Minnie Norrell, whose15-year-old daughter daughter Lisa was murdered in November 1998, around the same time three prostitutes were also killed.

Norrell said Garrido lives next door to one of her relatives -- a home she regularly visits for family functions.

“He just let me know they're searching. I'm really excited about that. It's the first glimmer of hope we've had since my daughter passed away.”

Lisa Norell’s body was found dumped in a remote industrial area of Pittsburgh close to where Garrido worked.

“I think I first started shaking,” said Norrell. “I'm hopeful that's who it is--just so there's an end. There will never be closure, but there will be an end.”"

I bet mysteriew is right - maybe bodies buried there.

They're probably going to have to dig up both yards. This will take some time.
They have to do it carefully in order to preserve any evidence. If any bodies are found, this becomes a death penalty case.

It's going to be a long time before that neighborhood gets back to normal.
