Dear California Attorney General:




Dear Attorney General

As you know, this is the monster who kidnapped Jaycee Dugard and kept her for 18 years.

In 2006 a neighbor called 911 to report suspicious circumstances involving young children in the home's backyard, and said Garrido was psychotic and had a sex addiction. The responding deputy spent about 30 minutes interviewing Garrido on the front porch and left after warning him that people living outdoors on the property could be a code violation.


Sheriff Warren attributed the shortcoming to the deputy's lack of ready access to a database containing information about sex offenders in the county.

This can't be right. I live in Michigan. I have no law enforcement experience and yet all I had to do was search California's sexual offender data base and easily found Mr. Garrido.

Was the officer impaired in some way? Were his fingers broken? Why the hell didn't that man turn on a computer, or call someone and investigate that report?

I don't understand why that officer didn't carefully execute his job. It's easy to say he was distracted with more important things, or just didn't take it seriously, but I wasn't there.

I'm asking you to find out. To thoroughly investigate the breakdown in the system that kept Jaycee Dugard captive for all these years.
