Nancy Garrido Held Jaycee Captive for 4 Months

Police are looking more closely at Nancy Garrido’s role in the Jaycee Lee Dugard kidnapping, the Telegraph reports. She appears to have played a key part in the abduction, and she helped her husband, Phillip Garrido, throughout Dugard’s imprisonment. At one point, when Phillip was sent to prison for 4 months for a parole violation, Nancy Garrido kept Dugard locked up and hidden.

Neighbors say she was noncommunicative and looked disturbed, in stark contrast to her husband, who was prone to strange religious rants. One acquaintance also recalls seeing Nancy and Jaycee shopping together at a local supermarket. “In some ways, to me, she is the real monster,” the acquaintance says. “She is a woman and should never have let this happen.” (More Nancy Garrido stories.)
