REFELCTION - Mike Shelton is glad that he no longer lives in California.
Mike and Glenda Shelton moved to Camden three years ago because of its proximity to the Tennessee River. Mike loves fishing and a friend of his recommended this area as a great place to enjoy his favorite sport. The couple moved here from California after they both became disabled.
So far nothing about the Sheltons story sounds strange or unusual. When asked why they left California they both agree that they could no longer afford to live there once they became disabled. They wanted to own a home of their own in a quiet community where the cost of living was within their means. Camden suited their needs and they have now settled here. Even though they do not have family here, they both say they have a large church family here.
The Sheltons got a surprise recently when Glendas daughter called from California and asked them if they had seen the news. Their former neighbor, Phillip Garrido and his wife Nancy had been arrested and charged with kidnapping, conspiracy, and rape of a minor.
The story quickly swept across the nation. Jaycee Lee Dugard had been abducted at the age of 11 while she walked to her school bus stop in South Lake Tahoe, Ca. Garrido had held her captive for 18 years and fathered two children with her. She was forced to live in a series of shacks and tents in the backyard and it was there that she gave birth to her two children, reportedly without the help of a physician. The children have never seen a doctor nor have they ever gone to school but Jaycee had somehow taught them to read and write.
Mike and Glenda lived next door to Garrido on Walnut Ave. in Antioch, Ca. from 1996 through 1998. The Garridos and the Sheltons shared a driveway but little else. Both of the Sheltons have met and talked to Garrido but they both describe him as being weird. Mike stated that you could tell there was something funny about him because he was always real defensive. He didnt want anybody to go near the yard and nobody was allowed behind the gate. Mike recalls one time the lock on the gate was broken and Garrido appeared to be almost in a panic until it was fixed.
Mike Shelton rented the house next door to the Garridos from a guy named Jack. Phillips mother was a retired real estate agent and handled the transaction for Jack. The Sheltons believe that Jack lived on the Garrido property but they cannot say for sure. Phillips mother also lived on the property with her son and the Sheltons feel that the mother must have known something about Jaycee and the children. It is unclear whether or not the mother is still alive.
Mike states that there was no way you could tell the compound was there because it was completely enclosed behind an 8-foot privacy fence. He also says the area was a rural area the was overgrown with brush. Garrido ran a printing business out of his home but he always took his orders away from the home in a gray Dodge van. Mike said it was always quiet next door and you would never know that anything of this magnitude was going on. Glenda states that she stayed at home alone a lot of the time and she now looks back with disbelief at the things that were going on so close to her own back door. Mike also had small children that came to visit on weekends.
Since the case first broke the Sheltons have now learned that the police are digging up the backyard of the house they used to live in. Police suspect that Garrido may have killed prostitutes and buried them somewhere in the surrounding area. There have been human bones found in the area but news reports have not yet told whether or not those bones are tied to Garrido.
As for the Sheltons, they are now comfortable living in Camden and enjoying life at a slower pace. Mike loves to grab his fishing pole and head for the river every chance he gets. Glenda enjoys being at home with her dogs and they both enjoy their church activities. They have gladly left their California life behind them.
