Police focus on role of Garrido’s wife in abduction

POLICE investigating Jaycee Lee Dugard’s kidnapping and captivity are turning their attention to the alleged role of Nancy Garrido, who has been described as a “monster”.

In the sordid, traumatising story of Jaycee’s plight, a growing number of questions surround the motives of Nancy Garrido, who has been arrested with her husband, Phillip, and faces the same 29 charges and life imprisonment.

Garrido’s brother, Ron, has said that Nancy was “under his spell – a robot”. To some neighbours and acquaintances, her behaviour in public was even stranger than her husband’s, despite his religious rantings. She was non-communicative and looked disturbed.
