Law enforcement missed earlier opportunities to save Jaycee

[forum_admin]

Parole agent visited compound at least 16 times since December.

They stood in his Antioch home, walked through his back yard, questioned him about his activities.

And still they failed for years to discover the kidnapped woman hidden by convicted rapist Phillip Craig Garrido in a soundproof shed. Or the two girls that Garrido, 58, fathered with his captive.

With the rescue this week of Jaycee Lee Dugard – who authorities suspect was kidnapped by Garrido in 1991 – parole agents, deputies and even firefighters had some explaining to do.

"I'm not offering excuses," said Contra Costa Sheriff Warren E. Rupf, apologizing in a news conference for missteps by his department.

Jaycee Lee Dugard and her captor Phillip Garrido

You know most of these so called “police/ parole officers” always have a chip on their shoulders, and even when they fail to do their jobs they appear arrogant like saying “what are you going to do”, let’s face it she who save herself, she was not save by the authorities. Does anyone believe that the authorities were investigating her disappearance? The car used in her kidnapping was in the backyard, the lazy ass cops didn’t even bother to go through the backyard when the information indicated that kids were living back there, they didn’t check local schools to see if the kids were going to school or even asked to see the kids, no report to child protective services, boy how lazy can you be and still pick up your public service check, not to mention the parole officers who failed to visit and find out where this freak was living and what he was doing, amazing, simply amazing.
