Agents missed chance to rescue kidnapped girl

A REPORT by the California attorney general’s office says parole agents spoke to the woman who was held captive by a convicted rapist for 18 years and fathered his two children, but never bothered to follow it up.

The revelation about how parole agents missed another opportunity to rescue Jaycee Dugard is contained in a report obtained by The Associated Press under the California Public Records Act.

Dugard, now 30, says parole agents spoke with her during her captivity and with the older of the two daughters she bore to Phillip Garrido. Garrido has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping and raping Dugard, who was 11 when she disappeared.
