Posted on Aug 28, 2009 @ 04:33PM
From the front it looks like a normal tract home but an aerial view shows the chilling network of tarps and tents which Phillip Garrido used to keep Jaycee Lee Dugard as a hostage for eighteen years. RadarOnline.com brings you closer to the bizarre story with photos of Garrido's compound.
See where Jaycee Lee was kept prisoner
Dugard was kidnapped in 1991 while she was waiting for a school bus and was hidden by the tarps which were not visible from the neighbors house despite being only a few feet away. The sheds had electricity and the secret backyard set-up included an outhouse and shower.
She had two daughters with Garrido and bore her first one at the age of 14. Neither children have ever been to school or seen a doctor despite being 11 and 15 years of age.
Garrido had a history of criminal behavior: he was on federal parole and had a rape and kidnapping conviction stemming from 1971. He and his wife Nancy were arrested shortly after a visit with his parole officer.
Dugard is being reunited with her family.

I believe we as a society need to pay closer attention to our neighbors. I can't understand how that poor girl was there as as long as she was and no one noticed anything out of the ordinary.

i wonder if he molested his daughters? what was there income to keep there home and feed 5 people. if you are on probation why is it the authorities don't do a thorough search of the whole property when they have access. total oversight.....

he was even in prison when she lived there with his wife. come on there were opportunities to escape unless he mind controlled her. she did not even tell her kids she was kidnapped. why would he take them to see his probation officer.

Remember that Jaycee is the victim and she was a child when taken. She did what she had to in order to survive.

I can't even imagine the trauma for his woman and her children. I really hope she gets the help she'll need to endure the future. Very sad story.

Pedophiles can NOT be rehabilitated! They are never given tough enough sentences for destroying a child's life. They are basically slapped on the hand and set loose to do the same thing over, and over, and over, and over. This is America's shame!
