Photos released of squalid compound where Jaycee was imprisoned
September 1, 2009
Jaycee Lee Dugard was reportedly raped and imprisoned in a derelict compound, shut off from the outside world for nearly 20 years, following her kidnapping at the age of 11.
For 18 years, she allegedly lived amid a collection of sheds, tents and outbuildings concealed from the view of outsiders behind a six-foot-tall fence, tarpaulins and overgrown trees in back of the home in California belonging to her abductor, Phillip Garrido, a 58-year-old convicted sex offender.
According to prosecutors, she was hidden away, raped by Garrido and gave birth to two children by him.
Photographs appear to show Dugard, now 29 years old, and her 15- and 11-year-old daughters, living in squalid conditions with books, chairs, toys and mattresses strewn around the site. Also shown are a “welcome” sign and wind chimes hanging from one of the trees near a tent.
Last week, Garrido and his 55-year-old wife were arrested, and he was named a “person of interest” in the unsolved murders of several prostitutes, which occurred in the 1990s.
A number of the bodies were dumped near the industrial park where Garrido worked at the time.
