Man and wife plead not guilty to kidnap charges

A couple accused of snatching an 11-year-old child and keeping her imprisoned for 18 years today pleaded not guilty to dozens of charges including kidnap, rape and false imprisonment.

Phillip Garrido, 58 – who is accused of fathering two children with the captive - and his wife Nancy Garrido, 55, are alleged to have abducted Jaycee Lee Dugard from outside her Californian home in 1991 and held her in a secret back garden compound for almost two decades.
